AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 We'll finish 17th Tend to agree, unless we regress to the depths again we’ll stay just under a point a game, which will be enough to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 We'll finish 17th Yeah probably. Not especially likely we'll go down. West Brom looking shit, Sheff U picking up but so far behind, Fulham a big gap and rarely win, us not winning many but every now and again. Think we'll trundle on, mostly shit with the odd win and finish 15-17. There's always the danger Sam turns it around though at WBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Safe to say we're relying on the others being shit rather than getting ourselves out of trouble. If we won tonight I'd have said even with the weird Bruce/Jones double act we would have probably been fairly comfortable. But not now. We can't win 1 game every 10.

toon25 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Absolutely essential was a decent fucking central midfielder in the transfer window. They loaned a rookie attacking midfielder from Arsenal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I mean... Leicester were 14 points clear of Man Utd at this stage last season and finished below them. With Fulham’s games in hand, we could only be 2 points from the drop. We’re 20th in the form table over the last 10 games. Sheff Utd have gained 5 points on us, Fulham 2 (with 2 games in hand), and WBA a point. Sheff Utd have played into a bit of form, they’re only 11 behind us now and we still have to play them again. Fulham have drawn 7 of their last 9, which is not the losing run we need them to be on. If Fulham win tonight, I’d be around an 8. If they lose, that’d probably settle to a 6. I won’t be confident of finishing above the dotted line until we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirtleyMag Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Fail to win on Saturday and I think we’re done. We can’t keep losing to the teams around us and teams badly out of form and expect to stay up. Couldn’t ask for a better team to play than Southampton who barely seem to have a team able to play.

PlymouthGeordie Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 If we're still at least 6 points clear of Fulham after the next 3 games we'll stay up. If the gap is smaller than that I think we'll go down if Bruce remains in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny36 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 very fine margins though, we shouldnt have to be thinking "If".. Once again we are relying on 3 other teams to be shit in order for us to stay up. How the fuck did Mike Ashley become a millionnaire/billionnaire with the decisions he has made with us the past 14 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I think we'll be OK due to the utter shite at the bottom but by lad, those last seven aren't good to look at!

Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 jesus, those last 2 games are huge for us We're looking at wanting to 9 clear after that West Ham game. Can see 0 from 12 between then and Sheff Utd. Personally see Fulham as the risk, Sam's record anywhere only suggests 20 points between now and the end of the season, we only need one win to stay above that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny36 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 can see Fulham getting something from Leicester tonight with Vardy out.. then they have West Ham on saturday then Everton.. results could go either way..with burnley beating liverpool, sheff utd beating man utd and brighton beating spurs we need to pick up something from the big clubs too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 The guy who does this site is usually spot on with outcome predictions: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/premier-league/ Has us finishing 17th, which I think is likely.

BlueStar Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 17th is perfect for Ashley, any higher than that is a failure because it indicates he's needlessly wasted money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham H Liverpool a Arsenal H Leicester a Man City H Sheff Utd H Fulham a Fucking hell I felt/feel we were safe based on the fact that I don't see Fulham getting enough points but looking at that run, we are not getting anything from the first five of them.

johnny36 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Fulham have a tough run of fixtures too.. but with brighton beating spurs, burnley beating liverpool etc anything is possible we really need a performance like Dubravkas debut against Man Utd,or our 3-0 over Chelsea on the final day few years back..the amount of points we have dropped against brighton/sheff utd /leeds is criminal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmintheChaos Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I don’t get why so many are “worried” about relegation. I don’t want to see us go down but it isn’t an issue to me. If the club don’t give a f*** then I don’t see why we should let it get to us. Plus any club employing Bruce,Agnew and Clemence are asking to go down and deserve it in my opinion. Whilst Ashley is here I don’t think it matters what league we are in really. We just need him out ASAP then we can all rebuild from whatever position we are in when he finally does leave.

johnny36 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Just had a look at the league table from january 2008 when big sam got the sack.. we had 26 points from 21 games.we were sitting 11th in table.. spurs, reading, boro, bolton,birmingham,wigan, sunderland, fulham and derby were below us in the table.. thats 9 teams below us and Ashley decided to make a change and sack big sam .. i dont think we would have got relegated with 9 clubs below us in the league 2020/21 - have played 22 games - we are on 22 points and below us are brighton, fulham, west brom and sheff utd we are in a worse predicament now , and stakes are even higher for Ashley with a takeover in the background.. maybe he is sick of paying compo for managers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
