Scoreboard82 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 We will absolutely lose to Villa. Will have money on it. that's exactly the sort of outcome this crazy club are capable of. Hope they prove me wrong this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-Cheshire-Toon Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 An important thing that is overlooked is that so far Bournemouth have had a good set of results, now it's unlikely to last and things will probably get back on top of them, but the thing that is overlooked is that so far we have matched them. Everyone is talking about Bournemouth getting two excellent results, and they were, but in that time we have got two excellent results ourselves and kept with them. The focus is mostly on Bournemouth, and we have been able to go under the radar a little. If we can keep the pace with them and when their results stop still be grinding out results (even draws) then we have a major advantage. Over the two weeks we could have been cut adrift, Norwich have even managed to pick up a decent point away to Everton. One thing people always seem to forget is the fact it is up to the teams below us to out perform us by way of obtaining more points that us. I know that sounds simple but for every draw/win we get above the 3 teams in the relegation zone and the other below us - then the bigger the gap and the harder it becomes to bridge that gap. There is no point as to be saying we need this or we need that - so long as we keep a trying attitude, and the teams below us get fewer points - the onus will be on them to win, and by which more pressure will be brought to bear and some teams, if not already, will crack, as I think Villa have - and i don't think Garde has the ability to change it at present.

Pretty much what I was trying to say. We haven't let Bournemouth get away from us (so far), because of that both us and Bournemouth have put ourselves in a much better position. This is the reason why the likes of Villa are must wins for us, because in 1 game we can kill two birds with 1 stone. If we beat our relegation rivals then those wins alone should be enough to keep us safe, you can then look at any points you earn of others, say the likes of Everton as bonus points.

Jesse Pinkman Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Can see big Sam using his contacts in January and putting a poor technically but solid squad together, they will no doubt scrape by and stay up. When's Johnsons trial? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 17th placed teams from last 5 years: 14/15 - 38 13/14 - 36 12/13 - 39 11/12 - 37 10/11 - 40 Taking the lowest of 36, if we beat Villa on Saturday, they'll need 30 points from 21 games. How to get 30 points from 21: 7 wins, 9 draws, 5 losses (not gonna happen) 8 wins, 6 draws, 7 losses 9 wins, 3 draws, 9 losses From 1 win in 17 to needing 8 or 9 in 21? Surely they're pretty much down already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they're pretty much down already? Over a season that'd be top 6-8 form. Can't see them doing it personally, would be a massive turnaround. Their only real hope is that another three teams have a huge collapse in form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Last 5 years we've seen Wigan, Sunderland (at least twice) & Leicester survive from ridiculous situations so I'm not ruling anything out yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 We'll get 6-7 points from the next 9 and all of this will blow over Nice.

Stifler Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Stilly very much in the race for relegation after todays results. Need a Swansea win tomorrow. Instead of wishing relegation on us why don't you just fuck off? Honestly man, just go. Yes a lot of us don't like the owner, a lot of us don't like the manager but this is a club that we care about and going down isn't going to solve all our problems. We got the get out of jail care the last time, and if we go down again we really could turn into a Leeds or even just a Championship also ran, then when the manager and owner goes and it's just us plodding along with shit players and either down the leagues or in midtable making up the numbers of no chance of coming back fans like you will be saying your still not coming back until we are good enough. Do us a favour and just fuck off, stop supporting us and stop trolling a forum full of supporters who do give a shit about whether or not we go down or not.
