Heron Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Just seen that Brighton play Arsenal, us and Villa all away and Man City at home in their remaining 6 fixtures and have to make up 7 points on us assuming they win their game in hand. Even beating us they'd need 4. I heavily, heavily doubt that is happening. Likewise, Spurs would have to overturn a 27 goal deficit and we'd have to lose every game and Spurs win every game for them to catch us now. Realistically, only Liverpool pose a threat. They could (quite conceivably) win their remaining three games. But no chance, we don't get 6 points from our last 5 games like. So get packing folk.

However we won’t lose both them games so it’s sound - draw one and that’s 2 games (4 points) they’d need to swing out of 3 games left. If we lose against Brighton and Arsenal we might need 6 points in the other 3 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Well, this is going well. 3 points in it and only 1 game in hand. Can only afford to lose 1 more game. Need to win at least 2 of 4 Edited May 7, 2023 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 We're where we thought we'd be realistically before the last two weekends. Just need to make sure we beat Leeds. No complaints about today and we're still clear favourites for top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Leeds away is a horrible game to have next man, would've been fine before Allardyce but its got a honking 1 nil defeat written all over it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to make sure we beat Leeds. No complaints about today and we're still clear favourites for top 4. I have a complaint about today but to be fair, it’s the same complaint I’ve been making for a while - we have no plan B. Arsenal have done the same as Villa did to us and we have no reply. We change personnel but the system, tactics and plan remains the same. Maybe we’d have still lost both games anyway but at least try something different if it’s blatantly obvious we’re getting bummed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little margin for error left No they aren't. 7 points from 4 winnable games will certainly do it. Very good chance that 6 will be enough.

Krabbe2 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Had a better feeling before the game today than I have against Leeds and Chelsea. Surprised that several players have lost their minds today, complete overdrive and zero rhythm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
