madras Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Palace are another team that I can't see going down. It's us, West Brom, Huddersfield, Swansea, Stoke imo. Probably between us and Swansea. Stoke could go either way. No Brighton ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Watford were never going down like. Exactly. It changes nothing. It looks daft to say so considering their current position, but I'd say the same for Southampton as well. I remember many nuetrals saying similar about us last time. I'll put my neck on the line and say we'll be safe. Won't be fun or pretty but we do create chances and hopefully we have at least a bog standrad forward now to take the most basic chances that we've been missing. I remember neutrals saying that 12/13 and 14/15, and rightly so, as hard as Pardew and Carver tried to take us down, but not 15/16. That team really wasn't that good, and certainly wasn't in the too good to go down category that Watford and Southampton are in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good few did mind, especially in pundit land after the signings of Townsend and Shelvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Palace are another team that I can't see going down. It's us, West Brom, Huddersfield, Swansea, Stoke imo. Probably between us and Swansea. Stoke could go either way. No Brighton ? Promoted 3 + Swansea and West Brom. Maybe Stoke cos of Lambert. I struggle to see any of those sides winning 3 or 4 games in a row. Whoever Watford have on the bench as their striker would lead the line for us. The last relegation side was awful, especially pre-January. With Shelvey, Townsend and Rafa in charge from January/early Feb we would stay up imo in the end. This lot has Rafa from the start and will likely go right down to the wire. Southampton lack goals and I can see them being in trouble. They also have the capacity to do Bournemouth and win 3-4 in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Watford have a proper center forward who holds it up, smashes the opposition around and scores goals. We on the other hand have a ballet skipping ponce, a midget who doesn't even trust himself to run properly, and a bug eyed pile of shit Spaniard, who if he fell over would miss the floor. Slimani or bust for us. You'll be shocked to learn which of Joselu and Troy Deeney have more goals this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because bimpy stated that Watford had a centre forward who scored goals, when Deeney has scored less than Joselu.

Tsunami Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We are equal bottom with West Brom on Home form, unless that improves we will go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We are equal bottom with West Brom on Home form, unless that improves we will go down. I'm hoping Kennedy and Slimani provide more of an edge at home in this final run in. Having a proper forward up front and a proper left winger should make all the difference.

sugoinufc Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Think we have some very difficult matches left - not an easy programme. So many games this season where we in the end have dropped the points. Overall i think we have been very unlucky on many occasions this season. It worries me and i can´t think of us going down again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worries me and i can´t think of us going down again If we don't either beat or take points from manyoo, arsenal or Chelsea at home I'd say we're gone. Need a minimum of 2-3 points from those games and beat 3 of those around us as well. That's what it will take to stay up basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Beat West Brom & Huddersfield and we’ll be on 31 points, throw in 2 or 3 draws and that’d take us to 33/34, realistically we’d probably only need to find another win somewhere which we’re more than capable of doing.

samptime29 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Suppose you can look at our current form two ways. Half full, apart from City games we're 10 points from 6 games and unbeaten. Half empty, you can say we've blown a big chance to pick up more points with "winnable" games. Could 2 wins, 6 draws (from 12 games) be enough? That gets us to 37 points (with you'd hope a better goal difference than our rivals). That looks do-able. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I would fancy us to beat Chelsea in the last day if we needed to.

Stottie Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 There's a fair chance Watford and Everton will be on the beach when we play them. I've mentioned it before, but remember the Fat Sam West Ham side Carver beat on the final day. They were woeful. Allardyce was on his way out then, and its developing that way at Everton too. Huddersfield play a lot of strugglers in their next few games. That might sound good, but they'll all still be fighting. Already safe or already relegated is best.

The College Dropout Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 What you really want is beach teams. Sunderland last time beat Everton and another team that just didn’t care. WBA or something. It’s hard to predict though. Last year you had Palace go on a great run to be safe. Then poor again once that was confirmed.
