Nuts that Leicester are probably down. 86% chance now.

I mean, our fall has been depressing, but Leicester have dropped like a stone attached to an anchor.

In the last three seasons they have finished 5th, 5th, 8th - and now they are all-but gone.

The whole squad has mentally checked out and they played a cone in goal for 75% of the season. Imagine we never gave them 4 points as well

 

[Gilbert..]

They held their own against Newcastle but were horrendous against City mate. A fair result would have been 10 - 1 to City, whereas 3 - 0 was a fair result against us. I am not saying we are good because we aren't, we are both crap. The only point i am making is some people seem to have this preconceived idea that now that the firefighter is there, everything has changed and they are suddenly going to get 4 points from 2 games when the fact is that they have got 1 point from 2 games under him so far and were abysmal in one of those games.

They might get some points but they also might not. There are no given's and the guy's last experience in the PL before his retirement was getting relegated and that could definitely happen again.

I think it has changed though. The fella doing his best spanish frank lampard impression going changed it. Not to the point they will be anything great. But it def makes them more a threat to Everton.

Proper laughing at all the fear of Leeds because they appointed gravy man to try and keep them up. Probably the same people who said he was awful when he was here.

They are absolutely gash and will be lucky to get a point out of their last 2 games.

I'm concerned at how much people are looking at this Wolves game as one they're certain we'll get at least a point in.

Since start of the year Wolves have lost at home to Leeds and Bournemouth, which obviously isn't great. However, the other 7 home games they played in that period against Villa, Palace, Brentford, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool and West Ham, they won all of. They also didn't concede a goal in any of those games.

Compare that to the fixture Leeds have at West Ham who will have just come back from a European semi final and it has me very nervous

I would say win at wolves and are staying up is simple as that

Understandable, but we got a point at Palace, Forest, Leicester and had a freak win at Brighton, so it’s not inconceivable that we can get a point there.

Re Leeds, you are not factoring in that they are absolutely turd and highly unlikely to win there.

 

[richardo675]

Better to have more points on board at this stage of season with 2 games to play

 

[Yarrgh]

I've crunched my numbers and now I can't tell what's going on as they are all in bits. I think it means double relegation but don't quote me on that.

That's some Moshiri levels of accountancy that!

im seeing nothing from Wolves, agreed.

We then move on to Bournemouth. I just hope its still in our hands at that point. It probably will be, but you never know.

and they went from just surviving regulation to winning the league the following season.

Indeed. Preferably about 50+ more points.

Hardly anyone is banking on a win at Wolves mate.

Everton are second favourites in both our remaining games.

We need a monumental effort to win one.

TBF, I dont think many have lost sight of our reality.

 

[blue61]

Sky will be hoping Leeds get a point at West Ham and we lose by one goal at Wolves. Same points, same goal difference and a 'best result on the final day' scenario. We need to make sure that doesn't happen.

Would have agreed with you on Leeds until I watched them on Saturday, they were decent. I'd back us to beat Bournemouth if we needed to, but equally if Leeds better our result this weekend, it may take it out of our hands. Would I prefer to be playing Wolves or West Ham away this weekend? Actually don't know

 

[davek]

Leeds: they are the ones we now need to see off.

I cant see them winning a game away at West Ham no matter the circumstances or a game at home against Spurs.

Let's get our rational heads on here and accept that Leeds are a terrible team who've conceded 71 goals already this season.

There's maybe a draw for them at West Ham...MAYBE. But they wont get more than that IMO.
