I keep thinking Fulham are going to start going on a run but it’s not happening. Allardyce might do what he did at Sunderland but he doesn’t have the players likes Khazri and Defoe who bailed him out that season so that’s looking more and more unlikely too. Think 9 more points and we’re safe.

I think fulham have to win 2 from the next 4  if they don't, it's going to be too difficult for them.

7/2 to go down NUFC

 

4/11 Fulham

[Guest neesy111]

Aye, Fulham have to start winning games asap.

 

They are not playing badly but not scoring goals to win games.

[bowlingcrofty]

Burnley (2 points behind us) are 5/1

Brighton (Same points as us) are 22/1.

 

The punters really have no faith in the cabbage.

[Nobody]

Getting a bit tired of hearing how Fulham have improved. They are about as improved as we were against Villa. Haven't won since November, really can't see them picking up 1 more points than us.

[Ikon]

They are playing reasonably well, but yeah, they need wins. Seems unlikely they'll catch us, but at the same time once they finally get that first win they might gain a bit of additional momentum to go on and even win the games they do well in.

 

As said, unlikely they'll catch us but there's still a ton of games to be played. Plus we might be a bit fucked injury wise, and it could get even worse.

I’m still at around a 6 mind. I suppose it depends on how Fulham’s games in hand go but they’ll (hopefully) eventually run out of games.

 

The Everton and Southampton wins have been massive.

[frankpingel]

Fulham have only played 1 less than us. 3 wins and the same amount of draws is probably more than enough to stop any real relegation worries.

So you reckon we are more likely to go down than stay up. Incredible.

[STM]

We have the same amount of wins as the bottom 3 combined. We will be fine.

[The Prophet]

Down to a 4 for me. It's obviously still a threat, but we've been a lot better since Jones came in. I just can't see Fulham closing a ten point gap.

We could forfeit the rest of our games now and put our feet up until August and I would still be about a 6.

[Ketsbaia]

While we have Chelsea and Man Utd, there are 3 Fulham games (Everton, Burnley, Sheff Utd).

 

Let's see how much they'll close the gap by.

[Robster]

0

 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I’d say about 3 now, possible but unlikely. Just doesn’t seem like the others will pick up points, and with ASM we’ll scrape a few more points.

[GWN]

I’m at a 5 , still could go either way .

[HaydnNUFC]

0 or a 1. Albeit Fulham have a game in hand they aren't winning games atm and its hard to see where they start. A 10 point gap is too hard for them to overhaul. Plus we're playing alright stuff atm too, we'll get nowt from the next 2 games but the games after that until April are favourable for us.

[Fantail Breeze]

I’d say about 3 now, possible but unlikely. Just doesn’t seem like the others will pick up points, and with ASM we’ll scrape a few more points.

 

[Dokko]

12/1 for us and the mackems to be in the same division next season.

[Guest]

2/10 for me. In the unlikely event Fulham or WBA go and win half of their remaining fixtures, 4 wins 2 draws & 9 defeats would see us safe. Realistically, we’re probably only 3 wins short.

[Ketsbaia]

Was reading a piece from The Athletic and it said that, after 22 games, no team adrift by over 5 points has ever escaped relegation.

 

We're 10 ahead of Fulham.

 

They have 3 decent matches while we lose to Chelsea and Man Utd, though. Let's see how much they close the gap in the next week.

 

Currently on a 4.

[Abra Dubravka]

1/10

Said a while ago, watching us that second half in Leeds home was like Pulp Fiction - getting adrenaline to heart. 10 months of Bruceball, and suddenly we've actually bodies forward and attacking. Even though we lost, all that anger of wanting Bruce to get to fuck had dropped, and it was more an awakening he's a caretaker and as long as we attack like that I'll put up until a takeover can get done. If I hadn't seen us recently actually show that courage, balls, aggression, running forward, passing forward, and simply trying to score it would have been about 5/10.

 

In the same time we've finally woken up from the Bruce induced comatose, Fulham had their chance to tighten a gap - they didn't, and still don't show any sign of picking up enough points to even close the gap, let alone overtake and get that 36,37-40 mark that'll be 18th.

 

 

[Paullow]

I'm in a similar camp to Ketsbaia, probably a 4 at the moment.

 

We're circa 3/1 to go down, Fulham circa 1/4, so it's obviously more likely we stay up, given the current cushion. However, we only have 3 matches in Feb, including Man Utd and Chelsea away, they have 4 (inc their game in hand). Ketsbaia mentioned Everton, but that's their toughest match on paper, as their other 3 are Burnley, Sheff U, and Palace - if that 10 point gap is less than 6 by the end of Feb, and given we still have to go Craven Cottage, then I'll be a lot less confident, but a big few weeks ahead (primarily of hoping that a rival does badly...).

[BergenMagpie]

5 or 6 due to our injury crisis. With Schär, Manquillo and Wilson out we will probably be back to playing like shit. If we keep picking up injuries this easily it will be pretty hard.

 

Fulham will probably target us and their upcoming 4 games will be their last chance to close the gap - so they will be pretty motivated.

They are obviously pretty shit at winning games, but how fucking typical wouldnt it be if Maja ends up being the one who finally starts converting their chances?
