Have us staying up in 13th despite only winning two games (WBA and Southampton) from now till the end of the year. With Watford, Brighton going down then Stoke beating Swansea on the last day to send Swansea down :lol:

 

I think it's quite important to realise we don't need that many wins to stay up as long as we keep picking up draws when we don't. I reckon three more should do it, and that's very possible. When we keep saying this is a must win game, it's usually not. It would be great if we could obviously, but as long as we win a couple of games somewhere along the line it doesn't really matter where or when.

8. 

 

These are the games we need to win. 3 points against teams around us. 

 

Imo we are on track to get relegated.

 

I agree. Every other team has match winning quality with the exceptions of probably Brighton, Huddersfield and Swansea. It'll be three from us and that lot to go down.

Our only hope is Slimani really.

 

So our hope is based on our striker scoring goals? Pretty much like all the teams in the league then.

 

The problem is, we've had some of the shittest strikers even seen in this league playing for us this season.

 

So, teams only score when the striker scores? Pretty sure that's not how it works.

Most good teams get plenty of goals from midfield as well. We don't though.

At the moment our biggest goal threat is Lascelles because our strikers are awful. We do create chances for them though, so sticking a player up top who can put some of them away will undoubtedly benefit us. Between Joselu and Gayle we've probably missed 20 good chances this season already and most of our games are decided by one goal. So yes, Slimani could make a massive difference.

 

We're not talking about good teams. We're talking about teams battling relegation. Every single one will require their striker to score goals. We've got the worst strikers in the league, so yes Slimani is key.

 

Just saying....

 

Sigh..... the teams at the top aren't "hoping" to try and avoid relegation. So "all teams in the league" in the sentence with "hope" in it refers to those teams battling relegation.

 

We're in a thread called "relegationmeter". It really didn't need the explanation.

 

 

Fair enough. Sorry mate, i was just being a picky twat. It is Monday afterall

 

No worries :) So am I to be fair ;-)

WBA are looking like goners now, like. 5 points below us, only won away from home once and scoring 6 away goals, Chelsea away up next with still Man Utd, Liverpool and Spurs to play. Got to go to SJP in their penultimate away game. Sitting through that is going to be pure :anguish:.

On the other hand if we're safe by then and they're down it could be quite the party.

Aye, but despite what I've predicted on that table calculator thing it's going to be far closer, we all know it. Unless Slimani can fire in 7+ goals between now and the end of the season.

 

FWIW I predicted

 

Man Utd (h) L

Bournemouth (a) W

Liverpool (a) L

Southampton (h) W

Spurs (a) L

Huddersfield (h) D

Leicester (a) L

Arsenal (h) L

Everton (a) D

WBA (h) W

Watford (a) W

Chelsea (h) L

 

Doesn't seem too unreasonable when putting them in but our home form suggests it's not going to be that easy.

I can’t see us winning another game, but drawing plenty. I’m of the opinion that we will go down because of our poor home form and inability to build on leads.

We have an actual striker now though! One that scores goals! We might score some goals now.

Look at the chances we missed against Burnley. Stick a striker who can finish in there instead of Joselu and we win that game comfortably.

We're still creating chances and we have a £25m+ striker about to join the party.

 

If we weren't creating chances and we had to rely on Gayle and Joselu for the rest of the season i'd say we're down, but hopefully Kenedy and Slimani can help us to the 2-3 wins we need.
