mickthemagpie Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I struggle to see how we're going to have more than 17-18 points by mid-January. If i was remotely interested anymore i would take that now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The only positives from that are the tough runs for Norwich and Sunderland, whilst Villa are already way behind. It's all about that home gameon the 19th. And that's just to stay within touching distance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon (max) Swansea to take 5 points= 19 Norwich to take 3 points = 16 Bournemouth to take 3 points = 16 Sunderland to take 0 points = 12 Newcastle to take 7 points = 17 Villa to take 4 points = 10 Admittedly my lens is also a little rose tinted, even taking that into account, well... it's fucking dire isn't it.

timeEd32 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 That seems really generous for us and a bit negative for everyone else. We're in a lot of trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 So it looks like three from six to go down. West Brom in 13th have 19 points already, a good defensive record and 'boring cunt but generally gets results' Tony Pulis. Chelsea in 14th obviously aren't going to be relegated even if they decide not to spend a hundred million quid in January which they probably will. http://i.imgur.com/GxpxoLb.png We're already three points and five goals from safety. Lose heavily tomorrow as expected and things are looking desperate. Villa are so fucked. 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).
