I hadn’t looked at the table in a long time and had no idea how close we were/are to being 13th instead of 8th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Brentford taking something off Man Utd would be nice just to keep 6th on the table for a bit longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 End of March comparison against expected points total for sixth; taking into account relative difficulty of fixtures. We sit three points below where we should be for average PL season sixth place finish. We need to find 19 points from 9 games (2.1 ppg, which is pretty much what we amassed in the 36 games in 2022 calendar year) to be in with a shout of sixth. We'd also need Man Utd to drop below 1.6 ppg (can't see it...) plus West Ham and Brighton (also Wolves and Chelsea) to continue pretty much as as they have been/not mirror, or better, our upturn in form.

SUPERTOON Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Still think we will struggle for top 7 with the way we defend. It really is a massive concern with the amount of goals we concede, and with how easy we are to score against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I think we get around 60 points, no idea where that would put us but any type of Europe next season would be class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just worked it out and the average points total required for 7th, over last 31 seasons, is 58 (57.51). 8th place average is 54. If we do manage 60 points that would almost guarantee 7th.

Beth Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 We're not getting 6th like, especially with Dubravka in goal. 7th is the aim and 5 wins from the last 9 should be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be winning all of those and can also get a result against spurs and Utd palace Brentford Brighton burnley Sheffield Everton should all be 3 points. fulham I can see being a draw maybe. wouldn’t be surprised if we got something from spurs Am I crazy for thinking 5th isn’t impossible if spurs and united choke a bit and we pick up 18 points off the easy matches above and maybe 1-3 off the others. spurs play arsenal, liverpool, west ham and us. Of those only arsenal is a home match for them. Divided play liverpool arsenal Chelsea and us. we would have to be near perfect but stranger things have happened.

A draw, for instance 😂😂😂😏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had a favourable run in since we came out of January, this extends for the rest of the season apart from the odd game here and there. If we carry on with the same form since then we will finish with about 57 points, although there is no reason why we shouldn’t pick up more than that as our form from February to now has been hit and miss. The good news is there is no team playing like Brighton and Villa did last year chasing sixth and seventh spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 We will get battered off Man United away like. That's 6th gone. Right now I wouldn't fancy us to go to the likes of Brentford and get a result. If we finish 7th we are for the most entertaining run in ever. The main reason we should be hopeful is because West Ham are well capable of losing games.
