Optimistic Nut Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 For some reason I thought the Leeds game last night was an FA Cup game. Could do with Burnley staying shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 We’ll end up with 40 odd points, even if we average full season form. We’ll probably average better. No need to sweat it (… until there is). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Two defeats but both by single goals to pretty much the only good chances we allowed. In the 10 game form table, we are third below only Liverpool and City for fewest goals conceded (7). Despite these two defeats, our goal difference for the 10 games is still +6. To get relegated, we need to collapse from Champions League form to something like 4 points off 9 matches. That's pretty difficult for a team that hasn't conceded two in a match for three months.

Then there is Newcastle. Anything can happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 How many points are we thinking from our last nine fixtures then? Even being quite pessimistic, I fancy for us at least eight, which would take us to the dizzying heights of 39 points and safety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I think we’ll get a couple of wins at home and a few draws, plus maybe win at Norwich. Just hope we are miles clear going i to those last 4 games. As they look brutal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those three homers are absolutely everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Aye, I fancy us to pick up at least four points in those three home games and beat Norwich. The aim is for that Burnley games to be a dead rubber, similar to Fulham last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aim is for that Burnley games to be a dead rubber, similar to Fulham last year. Exactly my thinking although I wouldn’t be surprised if we did a Chelsea esque thing at Spurs and nicked a point. Just want safety and the season to be over asap so we can put the whole thing behind us tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I don't think it's entirely unthinkable we will take points off Spurs or Arsenal, if we catch them on an off day. I'm only really writing off Liverpool and City, particularly if the title is still to play for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously this will be a historic year because of what changed but on the pitch/footballing achievements, it's still an Ashley season because that's all it could be. Already excited about what's to come, just need to persevere with rest of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes those 3 games then Norwich away is when they need to put it to bed properly. If they get Wilson and Trippier back for the likes of Arsenal and Pool I think we’ll give them both a proper game at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
