Teasy Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Sadly i can't see us staying up we have no goal threat like Sunderland and Norwich have scored a fair few Norwich have 3 goals more than us and have played a game more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Just realised that if we win all of our remaining games then we stay up! So why are we worried? Not if Sunderland win all their matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 9 for me. 4 wins in 8 after 5 in 31.... daunting. If we don't beat Norwich the pressure will be too much and we won't get it done. A draw against Norwich means we'll need to win 4 out of 7 and that won't happen.

The College Dropout Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Well games in hand are helpful, winning them comes after. Only useful if you get points. Something we have struggled with. Games in hand matter more at the top end of the table when teams win more games than not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Just had a look at Sun/Pal/Nor reamining fixtures and it looks like we will need at least ten points to be safe. We need wins against Norwich, swansea and Palace and to scrape something from another of our fixtures. Not looking very likely as I just can't see the goals coming unless Doumbia turns out to be the loan of the season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I feel the total opposite. I think they can get a win against West Brom at home in their next game but can''t see them getting another win after that. Home games they have Leicester,Arsenal,Everton and Chelsea. Not an easy win in any of those. Away they have Norwich,Stoke and Watford. Norwich away could be anything,likely to win just as likely to lose. And Stoke and Watford away won't be an easy 3 points,Watford maybe the only game were they have the best chance of 3 points. From paper I can see a total of 7 points from those games. (W against West Brom,D at Norwich and W against Watford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 So do we to be fair. The way we singled out Bosingwa as the QPR weak link to complete the great escape, and Carver masterminding us to survival last year. We've got this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Just hoping Rafa can do a miracle. I was thinking the other day that the derby wasn't the right time for us. We had a new manager, playing at home, 50,000 expectant Geordies, the pressure of 6 derby defeats in a row and the mackems turning up all cocky, it was an easy situation for the players to go back into their shells. Had we played another opponent after the decent showing against Leicester and without the 'derby' pressure, it might have given us a better chance. With the derby, all form went out the window and we just turned up like our usual self for the match. I'm hoping with that out of the way now, the manager 'bounce' would be more effective starting with the Norwich match and especially with the lift we got after that equaliser. Gonna be tough but it's not over yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Everton at home too. Very winnable. Don't Everton try to keep it a little tighter away from home? They've only lost once all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
