Bellars Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hard to imagine a team that has scored 25 goals all season can close a 9 point gap with 5 to play. Especially when we still have Sheffield @ home on the fixture list, and they don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The two wins against Burnley and West Ham were massive. It means we will probably be safe by the time we play Sheffield and Fulham, which means we'll have a much better chance of winning those games as well. I don't think we'd have handled the pressure well if we'd needed wins in any of those two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) If we don’t get any points from Arsenal, that’ll be it until Sheffield Utd. Even though we still might not need the points, it could get sticky again before safety is properly confirmed.

I keep saying this it doesn't matter what we do now as Fulham (as West Brom before) will not get the required points. Both teams are not good enough and Fulham are in absolute freefall. They had the chances with Villa and Wolves to really put the pressure on when it mattered and came up well short.

I agree you’re probably right, I’m just saying it could easily get closer before it gets done. If Fulham don’t have anything in them, it’ll take care of itself.

Don’t discount us getting points out of Leicester or Man C , decent momentum is with us , you never know . Unlikely but I wouldn’t write it off mate .

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Looking at Fulham’s games, I’d only have them down for 4-6 points anyway. If that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Just takes one random win for Fulham to bring us back into it. If we beat Arsenal we’re safe though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I'm on 2-3. The threat is still there, but anything from Arsenal, Sheffield United or Fulham will put us out of Fulham's reach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they beat Chelsea for instance and we lost against Arsenal, we’re twitchy. We’re unlikely to beat Leicester then all of a sudden Sheff Utd could have something riding on it. Who’d have thought the year we went down last time that Sunderland would get back to back wins v Chelsea & Everton? Wigan have done similar, Fulham too. One upset win for them and a loss in our next game and we’re twitchy again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I can only see Brighton getting points from 1 game (Wolves) too. Of all of the teams down there Southampton have the easiest run but their form is terrible. We'd have to have a spectacular drop off combined with Fulham becoming a CL team to get relegated now.

Shearergol Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 We're 8th in the form table btw. Fulham 20th, Southampton 18th, Brighton 14th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way Sunderland, Wigan and which ever club you can think off were not 9 points behind with only 5 games remaining.

Guest Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I’ve said I don’t think we will but I don’t understand how people are so cock-sure of it. I think even a point before we meet Fulham will be enough but I don’t think we’re good enough to assume we’ll get it. Fulham have 3 games against teams in the bottom 7. It’d take something special to win all 3 but it’s not unrealistic. It’s not unrealistic for us to lose against Arsenal & Leicester, then fold under the pressure against Sheff Utd after Fulham have won against Burnley & Southampton.

It’s never happened before with only 5 games remaining and more importantly Fulham are in terrible form and have never looked at any time to be able to win 3 out of 5 games. What you’re saying is very unrealistic, but if you feel it may happen put some money on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Watford were 4 points clear of Villa with 4 games to play last season. The way I see us, we’re 6 clear with 4 games to go because anything could happen when we go there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
