Dave Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 PS: http://i.imgur.com/rbAjLgx.png http://i.imgur.com/SGrtjgT.png So the year we got fucking relegated we were better than this in every respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Our current points per game stands at about 0.7. Taking 7 points from those 5 games would mean 1.4 ppg. Can't see it happening myself, especially against those five teams. Averaging 0.89 ppg after 19 games, seems about right/achieveable to me (have we ever had a worse 'first half'?). But statistics mean nothing/are descriptions not explanations. To get the 7 points (as I imagine) requires winning two games and getting a draw. Feels like the main need, is a major attitude shift/a bit of fire in our bellies to do that; rather than formation or personnel tinkering (unless it delivers more balls...literally & figuratively).

AY Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Massive win this with Bournemouth also winning, hopefully Villa, Nowich and Mackems or Bournemouth go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Think we'll beat Villa at home (if we don't, we deserve to go down) but will lose the rest. Can see the mackems some how getting 6 points in their next 4 games, don't know where, but they will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The most important game for us before the half way point is the Villa match, win that and we give ourselves a good chance, WBA as well. If we can win those two games then that puts us on 19 points. I think we can win both of those games, WBA have had some shocking performances this season, Villa are on a little bit of high after getting Garde but they should lose at the weekend and that would probably put heir confidence right down. I think we'll get beaten off Spurs, but if we put in a spirited performances hopefully it won't knock our confidence too much. If you look at the fixtures until the half way point though they a very similar, Sunderland aside that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 To get 37 points (which doesn't guarantee safety), Villa now need to rack up points at the same rate as a team that gets 53 points over a season and typically finishes 8th or 9th. They need a miracle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 When it comes down to it I can't see us making it out alive. Even in that season where we went down we got a couple of good results (1-1 away to Man Utd, 2-1 vs Spurs at home), but the bigger picture at this club is a lot more than just yesterdays result. I sound incredibly pessimistic, but we are very poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 We are going to be in this relegation fight to the end of the season IMO. There's no way we will scrap that hard week in week out, and when we don't we lose. We just don't have the defensive resilience to win games by strolling around for 90 mins.

Stifler Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I think we will be in a fight all season, but we have the players there to keep us up if they perform. The big problem for us is that we don't have a period of fixtures where you can say we can win 3-6 on succession which has usually been the case in the last few seasons. We do though play Aston Villa at Villa park on the 2nd last game of the season, imagine if we were safe by then and could relegate them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 When you think about it, a point a game will normally keep you up with 38 points. Yesterdays win leaves us almost matching points per games played. Not very ambitious I know but a win every 3 games on average keeps you up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that game is more important than the Spurs game. Beating the teams around you is more important, we have beaten Bournemouth and Norwich, the two teams above us, Villa is very important.

Interpolic Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Tbh I used to think of avoiding relegation in terms of having stretches of winnable games, but the last few years have seen great escapes where all calibre of opposition have been beaten. Catching sides when they're winding down towards the end of a pointless season is also key. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catching sides when they're winding down towards the end of a pointless season is also key. Wigan with their 3-4-3 beat everyone, and I seem to remember Pulis getting some big scalps at Palace. Leicester last season had the best turnaround of anyone, getting seven wins and a draw from nine games, though it was practically all favourable fixtures. They went from bottom and five points off safety to walking-the-league form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
