Will we beat last seasons ACTUAL points total

[RomanReigns]

i can see alot of draws in those final 7 games

We threw away too many matches early on to finish close to 50 imo.

It's kind of irrelevant anyway - important thing is we're safe much earlier than the last few times out and we have a new stadium and potentially better finances to look forward to.

Southampton will best us at home. Nailed on. Already relegated, no pressure, will show up. The scoundrels

Everton that.

Don’t think we will. If Moyes gets to 25 points from 19, then we would at least have been on track to if we hadn’t had the previous manager setting up for relegation.

(50 points would have been 10th last season, so Moyes getting half that total in his games would be excellent considering everything I’ve been told about how crap our players are and that they could never finish top half).

What does he need to get to 25 points out of interest?
(could check myself i suppose)

He needs 7 points, which is easily achievable

We'd earned the same number of points this time last season - we just never felt safe because of the deductions;

We went on a tremendous run last season from April, I can't see us doing that again, no.

Tremendous run or easier fixtures
I'd bet on Moyes getting 15 points from those fixtures

Dyche.

Dyche's PPG: 0.9
Moyes' PPG: 1.5

Over 38 games, we'd end on 57 points with Moyes' PPG and 35 points with Dyche's PPG.

This pretty much lines up with both of their whole careers, yes.

Think that sums it up pretty well, although it would be nice for Moyes to get a couple more wins under his belt sooner rather than later, just to keep any grumbles away

It almost certainly enough to finish top half this season though will it? And seeing as that is what would be relevant it would make 'everything you've been told' right.

I think the maximum is 9 more points from the remaining 7 games which would put us on 44 points.

Before Moyes came in I would have been very happy to be where we are now, on 35 points, 15 points clear of relegation with 7 games to go. But it does feel like we are sleepwalking towards the end of the season, we have been the draw specialists this season. I am hoping with Ndiaye coming back in we can change that and get back to winning matches again.

I would love us to win the 3 remaining home games and give Goodison a decent send off for the fans.

 

[TraffordBlue]

Had my eye on that previously but can't see it now. Too many draws recently and tough fixtures coming up.

I think a great target for Moyes and the players would be to finish 13th, ahead of those around us. Seems realistic but will be tough. Really hope we don't allow Wolves to overtake us given how far ahead we were.

Moyes has 18 points from 36 available.

Pereira has earned 23 points from 45 available - very impressive and marginally better than Moyes.

You carry on pretending that we could do no better than what Dyche managed. CBA getting into it again.

And the moyes fans will lap it up as we make it 4 months without a victory.

I'm not pretending that though am I? I've literally said dozens of times that Dyche was underperforming and Moyes has improved us? You've said stuff like Moyes would definitely have won the games against Brentford and Bournemouth and so really it proves we're a top half side in an alternate universe - which when you consider he's won 2 out of 8 home games and literally lost to Bournemouth at home is an utterly ridiculous take - so I can see why you probably don't want to talk about it more.
