GideonShandy Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It's all about your accumulation of points over the season. I just learned that recently from S. Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 If Fulham get 0-1 points from next 2 games, would be very helpful. If we could just shitehouse a snide win at West Brom, we would actually have a solid chance of staying up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Looking at our fixtures after Burnley, ouch. We need 9 points from the next 5 games, can’t see anything from the 5 after that, then beat Sheff Utd before we go to Fulham. 12 points should do it?

Paully Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I'm still confident of us staying up but perhaps not 'quite' (!) as confident as I was last time on here! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Might need Callum Wilson to pull us a win from those 'level 2' games - Aston Villa (H), West Ham (H), Tottenham (H), Arsenal (H). One there, plus Sheff Utd and a couple of draws might be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are ahead of Brighton after we play City then we stay up. Burnley maybe, although they have Sheff Utd (a) last game so could pick up 3 there. I can't see more than 2 of us, Brighton, Burnley, Fulham getting more than a point per game between now and the end of the season so if we can get 12 before Fulham then we should be safe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we pull a shocker every game... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Didn't realise that Fulham have only lost as many games as Arsenal this season. So basically they struggle to score the goals to turn draws into wins, whereas we struggle to score the goals to turn losses into draws. Yeah we're down.

alexf Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thinking about it. It should be piss easy to stay up this season. There's so much crap and Fulham, Sheffield Utd and west brom are doing their best to make it as easy as possible for us. Even Brighton and Burnley are still down here. Literally just need a few wins and that's it you stay up. But even that seems far beyond our ability with Bruce at the helm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Watching Fulham undeservedly lose to Spurs hasn’t done much for my hope. Surely they can’t keep up that level of performance without getting some wins for the remaining games? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Fulham look so threatening. For all this talk about only winning 4 all season, they've only lost 4 from 16. As for West Brom, that was a big defeat. When they beat us, they're still 6 points behind with an extra game, much worse goal difference and tough games.

et tu brute Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Watching Fulham undeservedly lose to Spurs hasn’t done much for my hope. Surely they can’t keep up that level of performance without getting some wins for the remaining games? Hopefully a couple of defeats and a few goals against (likely) may knock them a bit. At the end of the day for all their decent play, they don’t look like scoring many goals. Depends if we can get something from two games which are winnable and that is more the issue as can’t see that happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d begin to look insurmountable again. Can’t say I’m expecting us to help ourselves out though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I think our best chance is getting above and breaking away from Brighton. Fulham really do look good and I expect them to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Sunday is fucking huge now like. Best West Brom and Liverpool doing the business against Fulham and things look much, much better. Any other outcome on Sunday and we're still in big trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Yes Sunday is really a sliding doors moment. If they win I think they’ll go on and cobble together enough results/points particularly as Pool could beat Fulham. The gap could be 6. Lose and the implosion will continue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 We aren't beating WBA. And as crazy as it might sound, I don't think Fulham losing last night did us any favours either. If they had put us in the bottom three the pressure for Bruce to be peddled would have been immense after not beating WBA. Now he will be allowed to plod on until it's too late. In short, we are going down IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Fulham’s loss v Spurs doesn’t mean anything. They’re better than us, they’re in better form. Everything really comes down to how long Wilson is out, how bad we are crushed by the time he returns, how long the others are injured for etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 We need to get back to 4+ points as quick as possible. As long as it’s 3 points with the gd as it is I consider us in relegation zone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 15/8 for us to go down seems quite generous, to me. Just lost basically all of our attacking FRET for a good few weeks. It sounds like the dressing room have finally had enough of the cabbage in charge. We don't fluke results like we did a fair few times last season and a bit earlier this season. Bruce plays his favourites and this formation now seems like it's here to stay. Despite it not really working without Wilson and against certain teams. We look like we're going to concede every time the other team gets at us and we now have fuck all going the other way. I guess beat WBA and those odds will lengthen. But still. I'm tempted to have £50 on. Just to soften the blow when the inevitable happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Fulham have played better than us all season, but have struggled to score goals. They still have the same problem now, but have had fortuitous fixtures of late. Having said that since Jones arrived Fulham have taken nine points from six games, while we've taken seven. So there's not much between us at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 9.5 No club with this amount of baggage be it the takeover, injuries, players revolting, Steve Bruce just being revolting can do anything but go down when they are in a relegation fight. So much negativity. We are entirely dependent on other fucking up, gifting us goals and losing around us. Can't see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
