GideonShandy Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Just did a predictor to the end of the season for us, Swansea, Norwich, the mackems and Palace. Refused to predict the derby just to see how pivotal it might be, I had us and the mackems on 35 with 1 to play, Swansea 36 and Palace 38. Had us beating Palace, Swansea & Villa away and drawing at Norwich and Southampton. Losses to Liverpool, Spurs & Man City. Swansea have Villa this weekend then a pretty tricky run, whilst Palace's upcoming games are ridiculous. Of course anything could happen but it ended up being pretty tight for the last 2 spots between the 5 teams I mentioned and that was without anything massively shocking being predicted. What about Norwich? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just done it and have us stopping up with 40 points in 16th place, 4 points more than the relegated mackems and 1 more than Swansea. Leicester were top with 2 points more than spurs. I think I should book myself in for a drugs test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 4 wins will do it, 3 wins could do it (with a couple of draws, naturally). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Said it before, the derby is just a starting point. If we win, we really can't drop points after that to give them a chance of catching. The home games are must wins. mackems, Swansea, Palace and Villa away. If we could sneak a win against Norwich, a draw or even a win against nothing to play for City,uhen there's a good chance of staying up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ogden Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I don't want to look at the fixtures for any of the involved teams. I just have to have faith that Rafa is capable of pulling us to safety no matter what the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Impossible to see any kind of winning run at the moment, depends on how Rafa can sort the team out in such a short time. Winning the deby would be monumental, as much for confidence as the 3 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Norwich 4 points ahead of us if things stay as they are. We'd need two more wins than them in the run in... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Aye we are fucked for the most part. Change came far too late. Going to stick money on Arry or Nige being in charge next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 We beat the Mackems and we face them next with another 2 weeks training with Rafa we could be 2 points clear with a game in hand on them. The glass is always half way full. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I did quite a realistic relegation predictor where Norwich won this and still went down. This isn't a huge blow, but it doesn't exactly help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Might help us tomorrow though....does this not put Norwich 3 points ahead of the SMB's. Might put pressure on them tomorrow to go for the win where beforehand I think they wouldn't be disappointed playing us on the counter and going away with a point.

Tons of football left. yeah, 9.5 I've been at 10 since the Everton game and nothing that's happened since has made me change my mind. Hoping Rafa can work a miracle but giving him only 10 games was typical of Charnley & co.'s ineptitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Not sure what that changes so much We needed to win these next two games, still do and do so and we are above them both. Nothing has changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 On the plus side Norwich picking up points keeps Palace in the equation and makes the dream scenario of Villa, Palace and the mackems all going down just a little bit more possible... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spark Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Not sure what that changes so much We needed to win these next two games, still do and do so and we are above them both. Nothing has changed. There are 7 other games to play! Even if we win those two games we'll only be 2 points ahead of Norwich instead of 5 if they had lost today. Makes our task a lot more difficult to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 '7' for me. As said earlier, the Norwich result changes very little - we still need to win. Tomorrow is massive. Lose and I think it's game over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 It's not like Norwich where never going to win another game all season, we would have needed to keep picking a win here and there anyway. It really doesn't change anything to me, we needed to win the next two games to climb out of the bottom 3 and still do. It was never a case where it would have been done and dusted if we won the next two games either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
