Relegation

[Bluestar]

Things are not quite as bleak as they were, but it’s still squeaky bum time.

 

[Mr K.Dilkington]

It is a little heart warming to see how quite this thread has become since the Leeds game. A very promising performance indeed. Does this mean that the majority opinion is now that we will comfortably stay up? I will be honest with you, I think this is still going down to the wire due to our run in. Bad results against Southampton and City could see us right back in the thick of things

Wait till we lose to Southampton, this will be bumped like crazy.

Not confident but the performances against Leeds and Brentford gives me hope that we can pull it out of the bag and get over 40 points

 

[UltraVires]

All of the fixtures listed in March are winnable for me if we play like we did against Leeds

You do know the teams below us and Brentford all have the same or similar fixtures?

 

[davek]

4/5 more wins and 2/3 draws will be more than enough to survive this season.

 

[Paulie]

4/5 more wins and 2/3 draws will be more than enough to survive this season.

I reckon it'll be as low as 33 points to survive.

 

[ToffeeTim]

4/5 more wins and 2/3 draws will be more than enough to survive this season.

15 more points roughly I reckon - 4 wins + 3 draws

Only United is an easy three points; the rest are tough...

 

[Saint Domingo]

On paper, good chances of Burnley Watford Norwich and Brentford all losing this weekend.

Even a draw would be a decent result at Southampton for us if that all happened.

Hopefully Mr Moyes can help against Newcastle too.

I'm thinking 34/35 points would likely do it, but we need to push it up toward 40 to be cast iron safe.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I still maintain that even if the away form continues to be crap we'll generate enough points at home to get comfortably safe.

 

[Paulie]

I'm thinking 34/35 points would likely do it, but we need to push it up toward 40 to be cast iron safe.

Yeah definitely, it's going to be a low amount this season.

We need to turn defeats into draws. 3 draws is the equivalent of 1 win and 2 defeats. It keeps the tally ticking over.

 

[Del-boy]

Trippier is a blow to Newcastle. ASM usually plays about five straight games then also gets injured for a bit. Can see them being back in trouble if that happens.
