SteV Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 37 minutes ago, NSG said: Would people take going into the last game vs Everton needing a win to guarantee CL? Absolutely. I firmly believe their season ends the week before with the last game at Goodison. Playing Southampton, so will invariably win, big party, everyone patting each other on the back etc etc. Then can’t really be arsed with having to rock up to a raucous SJP a week later.

Think I’d be off the High Level after the match if that transpires and we fuck it up. Hope he enjoys the game as much as your Leicester mates… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Personally think our schedule isnt bad at all. Ipswich (H) One of the easiest you can get. Brighton (A) In very poor form and doesnt have Pedro for this game. Chelsea (H) Not looking great and are playing the semi final in the conferance league semi-final 3 days before our game. 8pm Thursday and 12pm Sunday. Thats not a lot of rest, we just saw how that worked out for us. Arsenal (A) We do seem to have their number and they will maybe have secured the 2nd place and have their head focused on the CL final. But hopefully we dont need anything here. Everton (H) Tarkowski out injured. Should be able to get a win here if needed. Last game of the season and the fans will be pushing the players on.

I can’t see any of our rivals posting a 100% record. We’ve just got to win our home games and try and get something from Brighton. And or do Arsenal again!

timeEd32 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 30 minutes ago, AngelofTheFourth said: I think we are all underestimate these teams. The way I see it is they are more likely to win every game than lose every one. This week literally shows it. There's too many teams willing to just bend over and let others win. Even wolves have managed a good run. We have to aim to win every game. The thinking of 'we can afford to drop points in this game' is what got forest sitting outside the top 5 right now. None of us are on the team as far as I know. Also, ignoring the fact some of them play each other, there is no chance they all win their remaining games.

Hovagod Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Not really seeing what others are with regards to Brighton away. Bogey team? Maybe. But a sleepy 2pm game at theirs with them on the beach and pretty mediocre? Would be disappointed to not win that personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggies Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Just tried looking at other team’s fixtures thinking how we would do. I think we would get 9 to 10 points across the board. So that’s our target I think for top 5. 3 home wins and an away draw. Although we have 1 or 2 points more than other teams currently, so the 9 points should/might be enough.

I did a predictor where I gave us losses to Villa, Brighton and Arsenal and leaned in favour of our rivals for most of their games and we still finished 4th.

The Butcher Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Should win 4 out of 5. At least 3. A draw at Brighton or vs Chelsea would probably not be the end of the World. Don't expect owt from Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't expect owt from Arsenal. I'm not so sure, we've beaten them 3 times already this season, home and away and I think by the time we play them they'll have nothing to play for, won't be able to finish any higher than 2nd of lower than maybe 3rd by that point, where as we could still be battling for that CL spot. We'll see but I fancy us for the win again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
