Burnley, Cardiff and Huddersfield IMO.

 

Those three are, without doubt, the worst sides I've seen us play this season. Burnley were terrible when we beat them at their place but they've clearly improved a massive amount since then; 11 points from their last 15 and some excellent individual results.

 

At 2-0 to Brighton I was convinced it would be the current bottom three but Fulham might have enough going forward to get themselves out of it.

[loki679]

Fulham can score goals, that gives them an edge on the other teams down there.

 

Having said that, their defence is mince. Reckon the current bottom three will go.

[Twinport53]

Fulham concede far to much. And they won't outscore every team as they did with Brighton.

 

They must be aware the defence is garbage yet they've signed Ryan Babel to rectify it.

[Ketsbaia]

I don't see Fulham staying up. Their only wins have been the easy home games (Burnley, Huddersfield, Brighton, Southampton) and the next four visitors to Craven Cottage are Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City.

 

They also concede far too many.

[Stottie]

Burnley have six points and GD on Fulham. Burnley's GD is bad due to games earlier in the season and they have stopped shipping four or five. With Fulham's fixtures, they are unlikely to catch them.

 

Cardiff and Burnley have games against mid-table teams coming up, so we might see some movement from one or both of them. Its harder to have those games now than in late March or April when most midtable teams will be on the beach.

21 points from our last 14 games.

 

After 14 games Man Utd were sitting 7th with 22 points. European form (almost) for over 1/3 of the season.

[Dokko]

I reckon Brighton are a good outside bet to go down

[xLiaaamx]

Burnley deserve to go down. Going for Crouch purely because "he's tall."

[HaydnNUFC]

We have a okayish run of games coming up this month and next. On TV a lot too. Hopefully about 9 or 10 points.

That still looks tough to me

 

But, Rafa

[Guest covmag]

That city win is huge in the season, like the manure win it could start a few wins off soon.i had us down for 12 more points needed before city , Fulham winning has evened it out a bit.

 

If you’d offered me 3 points, say 3 draws from city spurs and wolves we would all gladly take it, we have those 3 points already  .  Massive win , massive.

 

I’m at defcon 2 now, I’m expecting us to stay up and I’m hopeful Rafa just may stay, however it doesn’t help in the fight to rid us in the long run of FCB ......torn now.

[frankpingel]

We're currently on course for averaging a point a game. That Man City could prove pivotal as those next seven listed mean we need two wins and a draw from somewhere to maintain our form over the season.

[toon25]

I’d love us to beat Wolves given what happened up here.

[Guest covmag]

They do throw in some stinkers mind.both these games are like dreaded free hits 

[toon25]

Would love to see us build some consistency like at the back end of last season.

[geordiedean]

I think we need 12 points to stay up maybe less if we beat

 

Southampton,Burnley,Huddersfield and Palace at home

[Dokko]

I think we need 12 points to stay up maybe less if we beat

 

Southampton,Burnley,Huddersfield and Palace at home

 

If we beat them 4 we'd have 12 pts, so how can we need less if we beat them? 

[Pilko]

I think that if we can avoid defeat in 3/4 of those home games against those around us and win say 2/4 minimum, that'll be enough.

[ToonArmy1892]

I think if we get more points than three teams, we'll be ok.

[Guest]

Is there a site which gives what the league would look like over a certain period? Would love to see how it would look from pre-Southampton away to now. Imagine it’s be top 10 form.

It missed the bit off my post I said beat them 4 we will be ok

You can do that on whoscored. Go to Premier League and select custom dates for the table.
