Probably 4-5 tonight, maybe as high as a 7 if we screw up the next three games. FWIW, my (still 'optimistic') prediction, starting with Hull, is: WDLLWLDLDLLDLWDL = 41 points, 15th place. Glorious.

 

Predicted we would win this one but I think it's a bit unfair to mock those who entered panic mode as this was a really important game. After all I've got us winning just one of our next 12 in a difficult spell but that win, another against Villa, and a few draws will keep us far enough from trouble ahead of a tough March and April.

 

But I predict it will take us until May (four games this season) for us to be mathematically certain.

[triggs]

Being 100 % convinced we were going down with 27 points after 22 games was pretty fucking thick.

We were never going to go down when you look at some of those teams near the bottom of the table

[ilikenewcastle]

Could have got a bit interesting if we lost today, but even then we'd only have need 3 wins (maybe 2 and some draws) to stay up. I still expect a bottom half finish though.

[Varadi]

34/35 points will be enough for safety this season - today's win means we're almost certainly OK.

 

Edit: You can get 100/1 for us to go down now:

It's not happening.

Record has been WDD so, as per this prediction, we're on target for 42 points even if we only win two more games this season and draw a few...

42 points with a chimp in charge is quite respectable.

Im down to a 6.

Im down to a 6.

So you still think it's more likely that we get relegated this season than us staying up?

My needle rises sharply and lowers slowly.

We're not going down but that doesn't mean we should be happy, or won't go down next season. I have no faith that the job will go to someone other than Carver, in which case, it will be relegation.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Highly likely to go down soon if Carver gets the job permanently. We desperately need a competent manager.

[astraguy]

I'm still worried  all the teams at the bottom are still fighting to win (bare villa atm) our manager seems to be to draw  :tickedoff:

If you genuinely think there's even a small chance of us going down you can pile on at 150/1:

That would help soften the blow a little!

[afar]

It's unlikely that we'll go down, but wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if we go on a run of form which creates a certain level of anxiety from now on in. We are playing like a team that is going through the motions and that's a dangerous game to play. We are 10 points clear right now with a lot of teams between us and the bottom three so it would be a huge shock to see us get dragged into it.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

We won't go down but it will be awful and it will get worrying.

[Ketsbaia]

Can def see a worrying time coming but we will probably escape due to the other shit below us

 

Yeah, our games are turning nasty. Then again, we're on 32 points.... probably only 2 or 3 away from survival.

[toontownman]

Will get nothing from our next two games, at which point we will likely be rolled over by swansea. Last few games will be against relegation rivals baring west ham. We should be high and dry. Don't think we are.

[matta]

Lose all and we can/will still go down.

[Guest axel]

We can only hope.

[Nobody]

Aye, fuck it, I want us relegated.

[sempuki]

We won't go down this season but obviously we will be royally fucked if Carver stays.

[cp40]

9 points over 7 games? we could likely not get another point. Ashley would deserve it if we went down.

[Dan Gleebals]

Rock bottom of the form table. What a suprise.

[midds]

Rock bottom of the form table. What a suprise.

 

And that's WITH the new manager bounce.
