As I said in other thread, Palace are right in this. Next 5 games:

 

Spurs

Man Utd

Chelsea

Huddersfield

Liverpool

 

Some of those games without Zaha too. They’re almost entirely reliant upon him to get them results so it all bodes well for us.

 

Exactly. They do have a "winnable" run in, but they could be in the bottom 3 by then and the pressure really grows.

[Guest covmag]

a point a game gets us to 39, should be just enough.

 

easy when you say it, a point a game 

[NG32]

Southampton and Huddersfield at home in the next few weeks are absolutely massive.

[Twinport53]

If West Brom don't win either of their next 2, they are gone. There is absolutely no chance a team managed by Pardew will take even close to 20 points from 10 games.

 

Chelsea and Huddersfield better see this through.

 

Soz not soz Pards.

[Ketsbaia]

Essentially 9pts clear of West Brom, so wouldn't mind them beating Huddersfield.

[Stifler]

We probably only need another 8 points, with this goal difference. Beat Bournemouth and we're almost there.

I'd be surprised if 36 or 37 points was enough. The aim should certainly be for 40 points, but I think 38 with a goal difference would be enough. Beat Bournemouth and we are 2/3 wins away from safety, with 3 very winnable homes games, a few away games that aren't beyond being winnable, and a few games where you might expect a defeat but could get a point out of.

 

Beat Bournemouth and we put ourselves in a very good position, please beat Bournemouth.

Yup, would be happy for them to win that.

[Altamullan]

I’m thinking West Brom and Dourhampton (typo, but I’ll leave it!) to go down. Plus, hopefully Huddersfield.

I think Stoke will go before Southampton, Stoke just concede too many goals and their big names are not turning up. In all honesty I wouldn't mind it finishing how it is, WBA are a club who never kick on, no-one likes Stoke or their Brexit EDL fans, and Southampton are a team who used to have ambition but have now decided to sell every decent player they have, plus Le Tissier being pissed off would be a nice bonus.

 

Obviously like everyone else, I'll take any bottom 3 that doesn't include us though.

[Ketsbaia]

Just done another predictor and had us surviving on goal difference, 37pts. Nasty

 

Palace 41, Huddersfield 40, Southampton 39, Swansea 39, NUFC 37, Brighton 37, Stoke, 37, West Brom 29.

 

But that has Huddersfield to beat West Brom, plus some shocks like Brighton drawing with Spurs and everyone beating Everton except us.

[STM]

Southampton are in freefall. Only way they stay up is if they sack Pellegrino and start scoring some goals. Mentally I think they are beaten.

 

Right now it's West Brom, Stoke and Southampton who are looking the most likely (and I mean because of their form/situation rather than league position).

 

The likes of Huddersfield and Brighton look up for the fight IMO.

So, in short, you are none the wiser?

Basically

[Teasy]

10 points from our last 7 games, and the massive majority of those without Kenedy and Dubravka let alone Slimani.  11 games left, so I'd be surprised if we didn't end on at least 40 points.

[NG32]

Just ran my predictor - I have us staying up on 40pts which takes us to a 10th place finish.

 

My bottom three are:

 

Stoke

Southampton

WBA

 

[Ikon]

I think Brighton/Huddersfield will be one of the teams, probably with Stoke and WBA.

[NG32]

Southampton and WBA look absolutely shot to bits at the moment.  Stoke are just crawling along, I think Huddersfield and Brighton can still score goals and can get decent results through to the end of the season.

I did a predictor too. Very optimistic. 

 

Newcastle 41pts

West Ham 41pts

Bournemouth 39pts

Palace 39pts

Brighton 38pts

Swansea 37pts

Huddersfield 37pts

Southampton 35pts

West Brom 34pts

Stoke 33pts

[Kanj]

I think we'll hit 41 points as well

did it last week, had us losing to man utd, thought I was very pessimistic about our results had us on 41 around 14th.

 

think we will be ok. tho.

[NG32]

Its amazing what 1 win has done for us, lose to Bournemouth next week and we'll be hanging ourselves again.

[Dokko]

Relaxed to a 7...just know the man u result will mean fuck all when we don't deliver against Bournemouth and Southampton....dragging us right back in it.

[Nexumaster]

Relaxed to a 7...just know the man u result will mean f*** all when we don't deliver against Bournemouth and Southampton....dragging us right back in it.

 

To be on 34 points after Southampton would be dreamy, as you'd hope the teams below us wouldn't pick up as many in their 3 games. Agree that I'm not banking on us beating either of them though.

[Altamullan]

Three, likely to be, must win games before the end of the season: Southampton, Huddersfield and WBA  at home. Anything points wise on top of that is a bonus, though surely two or three draws or another win on top of that is within our grasp.
