Most teams have games in hand on them and they are dropping like a stone if you look at the form table over last 5, 10, 15 & 20 games they are in bottom 3 for all of them but rock bottom in 3 of them Edited February 20, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Brentford have had a dreadful run and are bottom of the form tables (last 6, 8, 10), but they have had the most difficult schedule in the league over that period. https://www.soccerstats.com/formtable.asp?league=england Edited February 20, 2022 by gazza ladra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Leeds could quite easily lose their next 3 games and in that time we’ve got a good chance at winning each of ours. Same goes for Everton. Brentford could do us a few favours but if we beat them and keep the run going we could be well out of it with our better players coming back. I finally have a tinge of confidence it won’t be us. It feels unnatural, but I like it. Edited February 20, 2022 by Dokko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I still think burnley will go down its only there second win of the season. Cannot see them stringing three wins together on the bounce to move above us like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 It’s a little to early to say. Brentford have to play pretty much all the bottom teams, but their form is really bad and they have played more games than anyone else. If they lose their next 3 games then I can’t see them staying up, the damage will pretty much have been done. If they got 6 points or more though then they will likely be safe.

I don't think watford will as long as Hodgson is still sound mentally. I would love to see Villa & Everton go down! Would finally get Gerard and Lampard playing together behind Rooney… in the Championship!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to dismiss Burnley by saying they’ve only won 2 all season. Well we’ve only won 2 more than them and that’s due to a nice run of form Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Surprised by all the Brentford votes. Yes, their form is dreadful during a tough schedule but according to xG they should have ~36 points by now and be safe already. Bruce did show us that lucky/unlucky spells can go on for much longer than most would expect so anything is possible but I have to vote for Norwich, Watford and Burnley. https://understat.com/league/EPL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikenewcastle Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 1 hour ago, Dr Jinx said: Just can’t look past Burnley only winning 2 games all season so far. There's 2 things that scare me about Burnley. First is the way they turned things around last season after looking as hopeless as they have been this year. Second, they are still the same old solid, defensively strong Burnley and even the best teams struggle to beat them. If they can improve their goalscoring even a little bit then they will climb the table. I just hope the win against Brighton was just a freak result against a makeshift defence rather than a sign of things to come. TBH it's a really interesting relegation battle all of a sudden and I think you can make a case for anyone staying up (except Norwich I reckon). Thank God we have this 4 point cushion and a bit of momentum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peder75 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) I'm not sure Brentfords bad form is due to a tough schedule. They are above us because they had a great opening to the season. But they have not been great since middle of October. I think it's harder for a team like Brentford to turn it around than it is for Watford, or Burnley. Burnley is used to be shit and grind it out, I'm not sure Brentford is used to that, and they will feel the heat. I have: Norwich Brentford Burnley (it was between them and Watford, and I think Watford has the quality to hit a good streak some time during the season) Edited February 21, 2022 by Peder75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
