Elma Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Unfortunately none of the promoted clubs are covering themselves in glory this year. The mackems ambition at the moment should be to finish above the highest promoted club, currently Burnley on seven points, less than one a game. I know they don't look like they could win one game at the moment, never mind the two they would need to overtake Burnley, but that gap is still easily surmountable over thirty games. The problem last year for us (getting relegated on a number of points that in most seasons would have seen us stay up) was that both Watford and Bournemouth came up with decent management and had something about them. Both got over forty points and will again this year. Hull, Boro and Burnley are all poor teams who won't get to 38 points. This year 37 will keep you up and possibly even 35. That means they need 35 points from 30 games - 9 wins, 8 draws, 13 losses. Currently that would appear a tall order, but they've arguably only dropped six or seven points that you would have expected them get (3 vs Boro, 2 vs W Brom, 1 v Palace, 1 v Stoke), and picked up one they weren't expected to get at Soton. I would argue that if they were on 8 points now that would be par for the course. In saying all that, I don't see (m)any points for them in their next three games, but I won't start to think they might drop until we reach the halfway point and they are more than 6 points from safety (Burnley), whilst still turning in the sort of performances they are at the moment.

Teasy Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Their next game is an absolute must win, lose that and they'll be in a position worse than they've ever been in before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 West Ham away first, then Arsenal at home. Lose both and surely its the worst start to a Premier League season by any team ever? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 West Ham away first, then Arsenal at home. Nil points. I can see them pushing their 15 point season if something drastic doesn't change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elma Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 West Ham away first, then Arsenal at home. Lose both and surely its the worst start to a Premier League season by any team ever? Think they'll lose at Bournemouth. Might get a point from either West Ham or Arsenal before that. Could see them on 2 points after 11 games though. If I were a neutral I'd have them nailed on to go down, but still am worried that the others are creating a significant gap at the moment. Hull at home in game 12 could be interesting as to whether they have enough to beat those around them and keep the gap manageable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Had a look and if they lose their next two they'll equal the worst ever start to a Premier League season (unsurprisingly that team were relegated). They'd then need three points from their next two games just to keep them equal with the record, any less and they'll break it. Next four games are: West Ham (A) Arsenal (H) Bournmouth (a) Hull (H) So they may just hang in their for now, but IMO only a matter of time before they're crowned the worst ever.
