UncleBuzzcocks Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 We should be praying for a Norwich win on Sunday. It’ll bring us right back in the shit if we get nothing from Wolves and Burnley win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play first so how about hoping we win before worrying about Norwich v Burnley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Be nice going to Burnley last game with nothing to play for, then just hoy the fucker to relegate them scouse scruffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Still think the Burnley win was the worst scenario of the three, as I can definitely see them getting 10+ points from their final 9 games - a nice set too. It would be glorious if Everton went down but do we really trust Man United and Leicester (x2), for example, to not be twats here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 We should be going into the next four with no fear, they’re all winnable games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) We will pick up points. Even when we weren’t winning we were drawing games and picking up points. Reckon we will win at least 1 and draw 2 of the last 8 Edited April 6, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridays game feels more important now that we don’t lose again. You do remember we should have beat Chelsea and played amazingly.

black_n_white Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 It’s not n realistic to think Everton might get 10 points from the remaking fixtures which puts them on 35. 5 more points is all we need Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 If Burnley had lost tonight we probably only needed 3 points to stay up. Now it's more like 6-7 imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they do pick up points, another two of Leeds (2+), Burnley (7+) and Watford (9+) also need to pick up more points than us. It’s just not going to happen. Even with tonight’s win, Burnley would need to get 50% of their points from their first 29 games, in 9 games to overhaul us. One win and a draw and it’s almost guaranteed. Three of those teams won’t reach 35 points. Edited April 6, 2022 by Fantail Breeze Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 26 minutes ago, HaydnNUFC said: They're fucked I think if they drop yeah. Already in FFP shit, have very few sellable assets and have shit players on big contracts and high wages that no one will want. Then they've got the stadium stuff going on as well. Absolutely knackered if they drop, definitely the worse run club in the league by far. Aye that's exactly my read on it too. Won't even be able to get a decent manager in after they've binned off Lampard either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I get the worry about Burnley, but the result also meant Everton losing and if Burnley go on a decent run, Everton also need to go on one that makes up 6 points on us, with Leeds also having a semi-decent run for us to be in danger. Honestly think another 3 points will be enough now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 A Burnley win is the least desirable result, but we'll still be fine. Fingers crossed we put it to bed on Friday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've played 6 of our last 7 matches away from home, three of them sides currently in the top 6 and taken 10 points. Everton defeat was a game we never should've lost and the goal came in the 99th minute. We just need 4 points to guarantee it, I think we'll get 6 from the next 4. At least.

Paullow Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 We're in at 14/1 to go down at 4 bookies at the moment - still a healthy position, but a lot different to what it was only 3 games ago when it was in and around 100/1. Burnley are generally 5/6, Everton 6/5. It will come in further if we lose to Wolves on Friday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 We probably need another 4-5 points. If we don't manage that we deserve to be in bother. I'll be suprised if we're not safe by the time we play Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 4 more points will do it, though I'm really not sure we'll get them over the next 3 games, and if we don't then it'll be worrying again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Man U players have checked out, they have no reason to impress the current manager and a fair few of them could be leaving in the summer, I could easily see Everton and Burnley winning this weekend and Wolves sneaking a 0-1 against us.
