Last 10 games have been 5 draws and 5 one goal defeats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Palace are due a win, pretty sure this fixture tends to be a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I fancy Southampton taking at least a point off Brentford too at home. If we could start shaking the likes of Brentford and Brighton off again, it could be a fun race for the top 4 whether we make it or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Pre-season I'd have been happy just being in the hunt for top 7 this season, crazy that 2/3s of the way in and top 3 is still in our hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) We should forget about May and where we live might finish. Just focus on our form and getting back scoring enough consistently. Sure that will be the attitude from Eddie Edited March 15, 2023 by Andy84 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Brighton have some awful fixtures left, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea away, Man City at home, not to mention likely getting distracted by a cup semi final, they really shouldn't be a danger to us.

Holloway Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I can understand the management/players taking it one game at a time but as a fan I find myself looking at the table/fixtures daily Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Eight wins and couple of draws out of the last 13 games needed imo for fourth, not impossible but highly unlikely considering just about every team still has something to play for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 70's a good target for 4th tbf, albeit way way above where I thought we'd have been aiming this season. I thought we'd be looking at aiming for 60 points next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there's much calculation going on, probably just based on the hunch that Chelsea and Liverpool are well capable of going on that sort of run.

andyc35i Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Brighton could really get 4th place this year. They’ve been great all season and are just a brilliantly coached side - so much better this year than Spurs and it’s crazy how they’re not above them already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not worried by them. Edited March 15, 2023 by Geogaddi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Personally think Brighton will fall away as the season goes on due to fixture congestion and being a bit naive against better opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They smashed Liverpool and Chelsea already this season and beat Man Utd at OT. Think it’s more Hope than anything that they fall away personally, they are as likely as we are currently to get Europe imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ahead is a bold claim, personally think it will come down to the game between us and them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
