Awaymag Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 18 minutes ago, McCormick said: Our very congested fixture list in March has me slightly worried. Winnable games on paper but not sure our squad is good enough to get the results with all the inevitable squad rotation and potential injuries. Fwiw I’m confident, to an extent, that we’ll survive but I imagine the table won’t be anywhere near as flattering 3 weeks from now. Or it could be and I’m just a massive fanny . Do we need to vote?

Kid Icarus Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Nice to see that there are just as many "why isn't everyone at 0!?!?" posters as there were "why isn't everyone at 10!?!?" posters just over a month ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The points total needed to stay up may have crept up looking at the form of Burnley and Watford looking at least more competent. But with 13 games left I can see us being around a point a game or just under. We’ll be fine, I’m at 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 3. Just need to maintain decent form now. A point a game and we stay up comfortably. But we should be looking up. 10th isn’t impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Yeah, if we win on Saturday it’s a target we can set ourselves. If we don’t win we’re still looking good to finish above the bottom 4 or 5 still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Pardew Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I'm at a 3. I don't think we will go down but as Howe said it - "If you go on a bad run you are right back in it". The upcoming home game against Brighton is huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 We've reached that magic point per game marker which more or less guarantees you a place in the league, that feels significant. From Brighton (h), Southampton (a), Chelsea (a) and Everton (a) I'd probably shake hands on 4pts as it stands (WLLD), which would give us 29 from 29. I reckon 34-35 probably does the trick this year, so we then need 2 wins from 8 to (hopefully) make the Burnley game a dead rubber, as I wouldn't fancy needing to go there under pressure and get something.

Games up coming Brighton and Southampton good chance of 6 points, tricky game of Chelsea away but think we are good for a point then Everton and Palace which I can't see us not beating both with Wolves still to play. We also have a game in hand. I wouldn't back against it that's for sure. Edited February 28, 2022 by WillingtonMag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I'd take a point at Southampton. Much like ourselves, they're in fantastic form and they've lost once at Saint Mary's this season. I can easily see it being where the unbeaten run comes to an end. As for Wolves, they're 15 points above us, having played one more game. We're playing very well and I certainly don't think we'll go down, but there's a chance we won't get another 15 points this season.

I think there's a perception that Everton will just about have enough at home to get over the line, but then which teams they have to face at home or away, is pretty crucial. Likewise, Southampton (A) seems a fair bit tougher than playing them at home, similar with Leicester etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think we've turned a corner and really look a good team at the minute, we are second in the form table and if we'd had Howe from the start of this season with the players we have now honestly think we'd be above West Ham.

But yes, if I can get the paste working then I'll update the table, as it seems that for some it's a bit confusing, or it is their brain power ?

HaydnNUFC Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Burnley without a game in hand on us now and we still have to play them. Win on Saturday and we'll be okay, think we'll need a minimum of 7 points in that case. I think we'll get close to double that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 As just posted in the fixtures thread. After this weekend. 4 aways on the spin, two of which against Chelsea and Spurs is hardly ideal. But if we can get through those and still have a bit of a cushion to the bottom 3. Then there wouldn’t be as much pressure next 2-3 home games in a row after that. This all seemed unimaginable what, 6-7 weeks ago? Massive turnaround. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
