Mattoon Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Swansea certainly aren't safe yet, and we still have them to play at home. They have an easy game at home to Villa on Saturday but a very tough run in. Games against Chelsea,Liverpool,Leicester,West Ham and Man City I don't think Palace are safe yet either, we just need to concentrate on getting ourselves on a run of results though, but there's definitely more teams still in it than the 4 at the bottom.

Scotty66 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Just had a quick tally up and I have it as Newcastle 35 points Sunderland 32 points Norwich 32 points. That's with us getting a draw on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't, unlike our past array of astute tactical managers he saw it wasn't working and made the early change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, they always seem to pull off a result when it's tough. 3-0 win away at Chelsea a few years back is one fine example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Just did a predictor to the end of the season for us, Swansea, Norwich, the mackems and Palace. Refused to predict the derby just to see how pivotal it might be, I had us and the mackems on 35 with 1 to play, Swansea 36 and Palace 38. Had us beating Palace, Swansea & Villa away and drawing at Norwich and Southampton. Losses to Liverpool, Spurs & Man City. Swansea have Villa this weekend then a pretty tricky run, whilst Palace's upcoming games are ridiculous. Of course anything could happen but it ended up being pretty tight for the last 2 spots between the 5 teams I mentioned and that was without anything massively shocking being predicted.

I've just done it and have us stopping up with 40 points in 16th place, 4 points more than the relegated mackems and 1 more than Swansea. Leicester were top with 2 points more than spurs. I think I should book myself in for a drugs test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 4 wins will do it, 3 wins could do it (with a couple of draws, naturally). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Said it before, the derby is just a starting point. If we win, we really can't drop points after that to give them a chance of catching. The home games are must wins. mackems, Swansea, Palace and Villa away. If we could sneak a win against Norwich, a draw or even a win against nothing to play for City,uhen there's a good chance of staying up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ogden Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I don't want to look at the fixtures for any of the involved teams. I just have to have faith that Rafa is capable of pulling us to safety no matter what the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Impossible to see any kind of winning run at the moment, depends on how Rafa can sort the team out in such a short time. Winning the deby would be monumental, as much for confidence as the 3 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Norwich 4 points ahead of us if things stay as they are. We'd need two more wins than them in the run in... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 We beat the Mackems and we face them next with another 2 weeks training with Rafa we could be 2 points clear with a game in hand on them. The glass is always half way full. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
