Stifler Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Probably down to about a 5 after the last 4 days' events. Sunderland would have been looking for at least 3-4 points from those two games, Norwich look shot. Even if we lose tomorrow I think it's 50-50. Not down to a 5 yet, but we still have a decent chance to get out of it. Getting a point tomorrow would be massive, but we must win on Saturday regardless.

Dave Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Bournemouth and above have now done enough to stay clear. Swansea could still be dragged down but they've got some reasonable fixtures coming up and a miles better goal difference. Two from three will go down IMO. Can't see how anyone is confident with those odds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Bournemouth aren't safe yet like. Eight points clear with a better goal difference? Howay man, they need like three wins max, possibly just two. They've won three and drawn two of their last seven matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Have you seen there fixtures though...like you cannot consider Palace an option to go down and not Bournemouth (not that you do like)... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 we need 2 wins in the span of 4 days, 33% of our current win total. We don't get 6 this week we're f***ed. If not - We'd have to somehow conjure up wins versus Norwich, Villa, and Swansea to get to 33 and then somehow draw 2-4 more out of my current assumption that we're losing to Leicester, Man City, Sunderland, Southampton, Liverpool, Palace, Spurs.

Ketsbaia Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Feeling slightly better but Bournemouth are in the clear. Never thought they'd really go tbh. For Swansea it all hinges on that 4-game streak. Nasty fixtures after that. Sunderland and Norwich though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Saturday is the 'must-win' one. While losing tomorrow would do no favours, fail to beat Bournemouth on Saturday and we're desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Obviously we could do with picking something up tonight, but if Swansea lose at Arsenal that will at least mean that this couple of rounds has not been a complete disaster. Will still very much be in our own hands with us having to face the other six sides around us, four of them at home. However, not sure whether us being in control of our own destiny is a good thing. Desperately need to starting picking up a few points on the road though. While we have been head and shoulders above both West Ham and West Brom in our last two games, relying only on fixtures at SJP puts a lot of pressure on.

huss9 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 4 points from the next 2 games would be great. really need to improve our goal difference also. dont see us beating sunderland at home. need at least a 3point gap before we play them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no faith, earlier in the season the Watford game was the "must win" after a difficult run of games. We failed that test, nothing has changed ever since then to make me think season can be saved. Its been a very slow car crash. Everything has aligned for failure.

Tsunami Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I fancied us to beat Bournemouth but remembering how they battered us at their place and seeing how well they played last night I think we'll do well to force a draw. Their away record isn't great but it is improving and they'll know a win up here and they're virtually safe. Goes without saying we'll concede a sloppy goal tonight and lose without creating any real chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. there is no way McCfuckwit hasn't targeted the Bournemouth game to the side as a 'must win' 3 pointer. Lose that and we are mentally shot (well more shot than we already are.)
