Without the ten points reinstated, how confident are you we will stay up?

[ForestBlue]

A team that can lose twice at home to Luton in one season is far from assured of staying up.

Defensively we should be capable of staying up but our lack of goals puts us at risk.

 

[Khalekan]

I am pretty confident we will stay up as things stand right now.

Luton’s next two games are United at home and the RS away.

So I am looking to the game versus Palace next week to lift us out the bottom three…and that without any points returned,

The big thing of course is the threat of a further reduction…if that comes without our ten already stolen points returned then I really think it is curtains

 

[Eggs]

….my fear is a further points deduction but without that I think we have a chance of surviving.

 

[roy vernon]

Went with evens, if it stays as 10 points deduction in total, even after the second charge has been heard, then, I think we are in with a decent chance of surviving.

 

[jonnyboy316]

No because we would be staring at another significant points penalty

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I think 10 or less deducted we’ll stay up but an additional deduction would be tough!
However, of the teams we’ve played twice, we’re already three points up on playing them first time (we lost to Spurs, Fulham and Villa first time round) so we’re actually on for a stronger second half of the season than the first which exceeded expectation…

I think it’s hard to say unless we know if the second charge is brought in. 10 might be ok but anymore this season and we will be down I’d say m. They’ll probably give us 5 back then take 5 back off us.

Also depends on forest sanction.

Ignoring 2nd sanction and Forest sanction I am very confident

 

[peteblue]

We will not get the 10 points back, we may get half, then they’ll hit us again with another 5…….

 

[Chegsy]

I hope it’s settled before the last home game of the season so the whole ground can give the PL a big [Poor language removed] you.

 

[paultheblue]

If it was a straight fight from now and we don't get the points back I would say it was evens.
With another potential 10 point deduction still hanging over us and the uncertainty that comes with it I fear will be to much for the players and the club.
Summing up if we don't get at least 6 points back I think we are down

 

[Tilling]

We can still stay up even with the 10 point deduction - we've got the best backline of the 5/6 clubs that are all fighting the drop and that has already reaped dividends in the performances this season, even despite having the worst performing finisher in the league (and I've got a lot of time for DCL, I think he brings a lot more to the team than goals).

The second charge will be crucial, not only because of how it affects us, but if Forest get stung too - they've got some really tough games to get through in the next few weeks, and a 6 point deduction for them (and not for us) will be a real body blow to them.

We stay up even with the 10 point deduction.

We go down with the 2nd breach.

4th best defence in the league.

Desperately need Doucoure back for our attack.

 

[TheNinja]

We stay up even with the 10 point deduction.

We go down with the duplicate breach.

Fixed mate

 

[Micky_T]

We all know that however many points we get back from the appeal of the first charge they'll take them straight back off us for the second charge.

So our current points tally and league position is what we have to work with. Fingers crossed we can claw our way to 35 points and we'll be OK.
