Coffee_Johnny Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Worked out a likely pattern of collecting points, over the course of the season, earlier this summer. I’ll post an update/chart showing how on track we are once I’m home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I am dithering over my top seven prediction, our first eleven could certainly do it! The fact that two or more injuries seriously weakens us is food for thought... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 15 points before Manu I reckon. West Ham may be a tad optimistic but with the way we played tonight and against City it should definitely be the target Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Injuries are key. We can handle Wilson out but Maxi and Bruno are key. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that two or more injuries seriously weakens us is food for thought... 7th-9th I reckon. As you say, injuries could play a crucial role. We certainly have a team which can challenge anybody when everyone is fully fit, but Shelvey and Krafth are big misses considering those are two areas where injuries could make a big difference. Also clubs like Villa and West Ham have invested heavily in some real quality, although that could be mitigated by Gerrard pissing his squad off. 7th is definitely still on, but the Big Six looks further away after the spending of Arsenal and Spurs.

STM Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 First gameweek where I've felt like we've dropped points, (Liverpool and City were free shots). Soooo frustrated that we have basically lost 3 of our best players, 3 weeks in a row. I hope the time comes around where we go away to some of the sides in full strength and they are missing players.

Think we need at least 2 from Bruno, Maxi, Wilson & Isak in the team at any one time. Even just one of those with Isak today and we win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 The problem is that when those mentioned get injured, then the ones we have to rely upon is just miles from the same quality. Hopefully that is something that will be adressed the next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 On +2 points and +8 goal difference in like for like results from last season (with Forest in for Norwich). Upcoming games we got a draw at West Ham, drew with Bournemouth (Watford) at home and beat Fulham (Burnley) on the road. So we're looking to improve on five points.

Coffee_Johnny Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 As described in more detail back in June, the chart takes the number of games per month (A5, S3, O6, 2 each in Nov and Dec, J3, F4, M3, 6 in Apr, and 4 in May) strength of opposition, plus home and away variation, to predict how a ‘top ten kind of season’ is most likely to progress. The white bars showing expected cumulative points total each month. The blue line showing actual points accrued. We were one point ahead at end of August (6 instead of predicted 5). Still two more September games to go to reach the predicted 11 points. 51 points secured 10th place last year. 59 in 2020-21 and 54, in 2019-20.

cubaricho Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 If we want to finish in the top 7 we just simply have to start playing better and taking it out of the refs' hands completely. Don't even give them a chance to fuck us anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 If we want top 7 we need a fully fit team for a long run , simple as that because a fully fit team would have 4 more points on the board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 If we can stay in and around the top 10 until January, strengthen well in that transfer window, and we could push for the top 7/6. As things stand right now, however, we just don’t score enough goals even with ASAM, Bruno and Wilson in the team. Hopefully that will change.

Can't remember the last time we finished with stats like that away from home. I'd say 10 points would be about right based on how we've played plus referee decisions and that's being conservative.

We could effectively have had an extra 7 points at this stage of the season for me. I’m happy with our haul right now though to be honest, we will not lose many games, but we need to convert draws into wins soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
