Will we need 40 points ?

Still think 35 would just about do it.

Can't write off any teams yet though, so hopefully end up with a handful more than that
 

It is hard to judge.

What usually happens is that you end up with mid table teams who are safe playing with their flip-flops on waiting for the summer. Of our remaining fixtures there is only Fulham who fall into that category.

The interesting thing this season is that there isn't really a mid-table. Teams are either fighting for Europe or battling relegation.

There's only really 4 mid-table teams: Villa, Fulham, Chelsea and soon to be midtable Palace. And we'll play two of them.
 
I think 36 I don’t think Southampton will pick up a lot more. Also forest have some hard fixtures and they have stopped winning at home. I think they finish 20 and 19.

The last spot is the worry for me. I was hopeful Bournemouth would have fell away with Southampton and forest finished 18th. But that last spot could be us Leicester Leeds wolves and Bournemouth I think West ham get safe and Palace are nearly there already. If we win tomorrow I think we will find ourself finish comfortably mid table with Palace and West ham.
 
We certainly should be aiming for 40.

If you fall short of 40, then you’ve probably got enough to survive, in the basis you’ve hit 38-39. We reach 40, and we’re safe though, it’s as simple as that, I reckon it could be 38.
 

The optimist in me is believing we will beat Spurs and draw against Utd, but deep down I fear two defeats are on the cards for us.

Our remaining games are...

H - Tottenham Hotspur
A - Manchester United
H - Fulham
A - Crystal Palace
H - Newcastle United
A - Leicester City
A - Brighton & Hove Albion
H - Manchester City
A - Wolverhampton Wanderers
H - AFC Bournemouth

The games in green are the ones I'm confident of getting three points from, the ones in orange I think we could get a point at best, and the ones in red I think will be losses. So around nine to twelve points, which would give us what? 35 to 38 points at the end of the Season?

Mind you Leicester City will no doubt have a new manager in place to give them a boost by the time that fixture comes around, so they could become a lot harder to beat. And yes, I do realise that I have us winning none of our remaining home games:eek:

You really think we’ll suddenly win 3 consecutive away games..?
