Relegation

[Fansince1988]

Has the pending result of the Leeds vs Norwich game been discussed? Sorry if it has. A draw would be in our best interest correct?

Norwich win wouldn’t be terrible.

Looking at Burnley fixtures we have some horrors in comparison. they will get out of the zone.

This is what I was hoping for, to reach 37 points. We need 15, and in the middle there, a run of 6 games unbeaten. Very very tough, but I think it's the only way.

• Man City - home L good result if we don't get battered - update: good game, uplifting maybe, but then the next one we did get battered!!
• Spurs - away L
  
  need a 6 match unbeaten streak - very hard!
  
  
• Wolves - home D
• Newcastle - home W **
• Watford - away D**
• West Ham - away D**
• Man U - home D
• Palace - home W **
  
  Imagine if 5 points out of the last 7 games still keeps us safe. Wow.
  
  
• RS - away L
• Chelsea - home D**
• Leicester - away L
• Brentford - home W
• Arsenal - away L
• Burnley - away L
• Leicester - home D

(Copied the fixture list from a @LouReedwalkonthewildside post last week)

Won’t need 37 points to stay up this season. Maybe 32 / 33 will be sufficient this year

Yeah, just edited my post looking at latest standings.

But Burnley do seem to mess up against the poorer teams, then surprise everyone with a good result against a bigger team. Who knows what will happen. One thing it will be interesting.

Think a Norwich win would be preferable. If we don’t get anything from Wolves then leeds would be four points clear of us then.

We need to pull our finger out and get some points. Can’t believe we aren’t in the relegation zone yet to be honest.

I think tonight's results gave us the relegated teams. Norwich, Watford and Leeds. Leeds, playing a mid-table team at home, didn't have a single attempt on goal in the first-half.

I think they will survive, hopefully it’s Leeds or Brentford to make up the other and not us. I’m not looking forward to the next game as we really do need a win.

There is so much crap about, I wouldn't be surprised if they allowed 6 teams to be relegated this season.

We still need to get above then though.

Just so undecided on that one. I think Burnley are a bigger threat. They are weapons grade escape artists.

Same. But im thinking i dont want anyone around us getting any wins. If brentford win they will be 8 points ahead of us before we play. Despite the games in hand, i dont want to see that.
Ah fck it. To many ifs.
Just need to win some games.

Even though Norwich are losing games, they do make a bit of a fight of it. Leeds don’t so hopefully Norwich put up a performance atleast draw.

 

[Wat Tyler]

We'll be fine.

NINE points from our last NINETEEN games says we won’t.

 

[KenyonLedford]

DON'T ANY OF YOU FIND IT A BIT JINKSY TO HAVE A THREAD WITH THIS TITLE AND TO MAKE ABOUT FIFTY PAGES LONG FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

 

[Parker]

Thank god the other teams are trying as hard as we are to get relegated.
