How many pts needed for Safety

[Death]

Currently as it stands with between 34 and 46

This.

Anything else is just pure unadulterated lollygaging.

40 points, I think Leeds will get 40 as well, Southampton 41, Burnley 41

 

[Markydys]

I think 40.
Assuming people are right and Burnley beat villa twice. Villa have Liverpool and city to play, and then Palace. They'll be wanting to beat Burnley at least once.
Either way, we need to focus on ourselves. If we can take 7 or 8 points, I think that may just be enough. If it isn't, I don't think we can complain too much.

My worry is that every time we put in a 'Chelsea like' performance, it tends to be followed up with a whimper. We MUST try to take a point minimum away at Leicester to stop the rot of 8 on the bounce and continue to instill a bit of confidence.

Might not be as high as we think you know. Leeds have got some real tough games and even more injuries and might not get that many points. Might end up actually being about 38 points.

 

[EFCPaul]

37 won't be enough I don't think. 38 is 50/50. 39 more than likely. 40 or more seals it beyond doubt.

I think we'll get 39 but it's Leeds I worry about. They've got a win in them out of their last 4 fixtures me thinks but if they don't then it's definitely them who goes.

 

[Gilbert..]

I think 9. Really hoping chelsea and brighton turn up at leeds. Funnily enough im more confident in brighton taking points off leeds.
Just have to spit in the face of the seasons abysmal away results at leicester and watford and turn up.

Leeds look like they couldn’t score in a brothel unless a referee gives a dodgy red card in their favour

 

[BrendanGOT]

We need 3 more wins to guarantee safety. 2 and a draw might cut it but I think Leeds and Burnley will get 40 points due to their late run of form and their remaining fixtures. So we need 3 wins or 2 wins and 2 draws to stay up on GD over Leeds.

 

[Grogu the blue]

My mind is changing every game, I think I even said 34/35 points a couple of weeks ago

Two games at home though where they'll create one heck of an atmosphere, they'll score in both of those matches I'm sure. We just can't afford for them to pick any more than 4 points max. We really need to be winning one of our aways, or at least not lose them. We shouldn't be either, it will be a knackered Leicester and bloody FFS. Arsenal is surely a write off though.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I dont know, maybe even 40

 

[billyblue80]

39/40 should be enough so we need eight at least. Which means we need a few results away. That Watford game is huge. Leicester too we need to play like we did yesterday sit deep and counter they will rotate after their semi

 

[Runub]

Just win the last five. Only way to be sure

 

[MikeH72]

I just can’t believe it’s actually going to take 40 points to be sure of safety for the first time in about 15 seasons.

Three wins. Thank god for bielsa’s leeds tactics.
