Relegation

[matty1878]

Yep…A few teams have done us a favour recently. Need to exploit that starting with three points against Leicester

won’t be easy as they lost

but we have to

 

[matty1878]

We have got away with it the last few weeks to be fair, so much is going for us at the minute, would rather Burnley had lost off course but when your 1up, and have a pen to go 2up and miss it, then you know you have to take advantage of it

wednesday is massive

How many points do people think we need to stay up?

( I know more than Burnley before anyone says that?)

37 in my opinion.

The good thing is Wolves have still got a chance of Europe haven’t they?

They sort of have but they blew that 2 goal lead v Leeds aswell so not actually in that great run of form. Neves out is massive blow although Jimenez will be back.

Will be a low scoring game for sure. Burnley will obviously be targeting Southampton at home and Watford away as must wins.

34. Burnley are not getting more than 9 pts

They're actually unbeaten in last 5-6 games v Wolves (got a 0-0 in the away game in December) so they tend to match up o.k in that one. Wolves missing Neves and were really poor at Newcastle last match. Southampton very random team.

I think they'll get 4 points. Them winning both would be bit of a disaster given they'll still have Watford, Villa twice and Newcastle after that.

We'll see in 7 days.

Wolves are a very strong side defensively and Burnley don’t create
Many chances. So will be tough for them, Southampton went on a pod run, but proved yesterday, they’re a sold team. I doubt them 2 gift Burnley the chances we do

I feel we need 9 points from 8 games

 

[Toff33Blues99]

That means Burnley getting 11 in 7. Can you honestly see that happening? I can't

Reading this thread during games is hilarious. might as well have that Chumbawamba song playing in the background ?

Wolves conceded 3 to Leeds with one of the worst defensive halves by any prem team all season recently. I do take your point though, they are a very tough team to break down when 1 up as we saw at Goodison as they know how to kill games.

Could say the same about Palace and Brentford though. Brentford's form has been incredible since Eriksen turned up and Palace really made Chelsea work to score today and are in tidy home form.

Someone said earlier team wouldn't lose another game at Goodison this season....four draws would still mean a big risk of relegation unless there's an away win or two in the offing.

More in hope than expectation, but we'll consign Watford to the drop and in doing so more or less guarantee our safety.
A bit of poetic justice maybe as it was the reverse fixture that created the crap storm we've been in.

 

[Amokachi1995]

This time next week we'll have done 9 from 9, be sitting pretty and have killed the quadruple. Hopefully.

Yes please.

We just have to take one game at a time regardless of any results that go in our favour or not. Just think back to after we played Burnley, and now we have the chance to go 6 clear of them. Let’s just really get Goodison bouncing and hope we can get that win and then on to the next.
