I just don’t see enough goals in the team to get to 37 points. Hope I’m wrong. We're still managing to score, mind, even if the options for goal scorers are lacking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley has a lot going for them relative to the other candidates. 1. Easiest run in. (Everton has toughest by the way.) 2. Four games in hand on Brentford, two on most everyone else 3. By far best goal differential of the bottom seven 4. Generally better off in the form tables than everyone but us. 5. They've been here before; a relegation fight isn't new to them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Put me down as another who will think Burnley will (just barely) get out of it. My three (from 20th to 18th) is Norwich, Watford, and Brentford. Given Everton's run in I actually think there's a pretty good chance they finish 17th. Liverpool's version of the Chronicle (The Echo) has a fixture prediction tool that lets you just predict the result of each of the remaining fixtures, then at the end shows you where your results have everyone finishing. I actually had us on 38 points, which was good for 13th. Just Google 'Echo fixture predictor' if you want to give it a try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, Norwich, Watford, and Brentford to go down with us in 13th on 40 points. Although, I might've been a bit too generous to Burnley, who I had in 11th Palace and Villa aren't out of the scrap either, both have tough run-ins and are in poor form.

Superior Acuña Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Tbf from what I remember Burnley looked dead and buried about a year or so ago til Chris Wood started banging them in for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Burnley have been on a 'decent' run all season tbf. They play horrific football but they haven't went on a significant losing streak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Man Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Burnley are/were as low down table on account of having played so few games as much as anything else, they've been hard enough to beat all season but have struggled to win games. Also don't buy the idea that we've necessarily strengthened them, Wood had supposedly scored double figures in last few seasons because Burnley played to his strengths, but the 6ft6 Dutch shithouse they’ve signed is definitely better because he has looked decent in a handful of games (where they have also played to his strengths).

RodneyCisse Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Just done that predictor on the Echo and I’ve got Watford, Brentford and Norwich down. Was generous with one or two results for us but had us on 43 points which with confidence high I don’t think we’ll be far off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had us finishing 10th on 47 points can tell we haven't had a decent run for a while. We'll be nowhere near 10th but I do think we'll be closer to that position than to the bottom 3 come the end of the season. I had Leeds, Watford and Norwich going down but Leeds on level points with Burnley, 1 behind Brentford and 2 behind Everton. Could go down to the last day, hopefully we're clear by the time that comes. Teams won't want to play us at SJP. We've only lost at home to Man City under Howe and the scoreline flattered Man City that day. Bar Liverpool I think all of our home games are winnable, or at least we can get points from. Away from home is an area we haven't seen much of under Howe given how many home games we've had recently and the opposition in the away games that we have had.

Mattoon Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Whatever the end result is, I hope its not us and I hope it is Everton! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Not sure on my predictions really, but like @Mattoon I'd love to see Everton go down, just for the crap they gave Rafa and I don't like Fat Frank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Think Norwich and Watford are certs to go down, joined by one from Brentford, Leeds or Everton. Burnley look to have gained some second half of season momentum again. Also believe this is when we are now looking up instead of below. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
