Looking like 3 from 6 as predicted by most

[GreasyChipBeattie]

So who's it gonna be?
I'm confident we have enough to stay up, probs on about 35 points.
(Table as it stands with Everton 0-0 with Arsenal after 20 mins)

Thoughts at this early stage?

So that's say 10 wins and 5 draws from the remaining 33 games. Very wishful thinking, I don't think we'll get anywhere near that.

What do you reckon bb?
It's only 10 wins and 4 draws by the way

 

[Frank the tank]

We have to make sure that if a team outside of us burnley and luton is so bad they drop in to the bottom 3 that we are the ones that take advantage of it

So far though i cant see that happening

I think Wolves & Bournemouth will be fine.

It's 3 from 4 in my opinion and I haven't seen enough to convince me that we will win the required number of games.

Taken a lot of heart from our start though. We're not just making up the numbers.

 

[Roygbiv]

I don't think we have much chance of getting into the 30s but long term things aren't looking too bad. If we keep most players we look a lot stronger than last time we came down and next season could be a lot of fun.

I actually don’t think we’re any worse than Everton, Luton and Burnley for a start. However, I really do think our lack of activity in the market has cost us.

Said it a few weeks back, all well and good saying we’re waiting on our targets but we don’t have many winnable games and we threw 3 of them away in the first 4 games with our delayed transfer activity. Even if the team starts to gel in the next few weeks, with our fixtures well likely be 10-12 games without a win and relegated already.

Such a shame, I don’t think we’re awful (like Luton) but if we had 38 games we’d at least given ourselves the best chance!

We have to beat at home
Fulham
Burnley
Bournemouth
Luton
Forest
wolves
villa
all at home as an absolute minimum
then away

Everton
Luton
and try to get a few draws along the way

We will get a couple of unexpected wins along the way. We always do.

True but we have to target those games for 3 points

 

[Nick Jansky]

I think we target every game for 3 points.

 

[wak1889]

I think we target every game for 3 points.

I mean by attacking and not playing 11 men behind the ball and hoping for a counter attack goal

Luton looked quite good at Fulham tbh and i think they're more mobile and athletic than us

I predict that we will finish bottom two by quite a distance but as long as we can keep the players together we can give its go in the Championship next year

 

[SwissBlade]

5 games in. The league hasn’t even started to shape up yet

 

[Pollingtonblade]

35 points? Tell me what glue have you been at

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

I know Fulham have some points now, but I see them dragged into the mix. We will start to get results, but maybe not for another month or so. We need to get our 30+ points and just see how others do. It's way too early. Bournemouth, Wolves and Everton will be there in the mix also. We are forming a good team with spirit and creating great chances. For all Spurs attacking flair, Wes made some good and routine saves from shots mostly outside the box. Did you see them one on one with Wes in the first 95 minutes? We had 3 chances virtually only the keeper to beat, we all feel we were robbed by the stupid 12 minutes extra time. Our players were dead on their feet. We couldn't bring on replacements anything like the quality Spurs had in extra time. Cramp was setting in on so many of our team. Remember, this was Spurs away, and we could and should have had a result.

 

[Bladezz]

I think it will be the lowest point total to stay up.

I think it will be the 3 that are there that will go down.

 

[Pintor75]

Lets hope Arsenal beat Everton for a start , keep em in the mix

I don't think that Luton are awful and they'll pick up some surprising wins. They played well yesterday and were unlucky.

1 nil to the Arsenal

 

[Stegosaurus]

Hi Stegosaurus here,

This could be one of the lowest total points for the bottom 3 in history.

I can't see Luton getting more than 10 points. Burnley won't crack 20, and I think it's between us Bournemouth and Wolves for the last spot.

Everton will be ok--they have a good team, they're just stuck with a footballing dinosaur as manager. Once they get rid of Dyke, they'll be fine.

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

This team is much better than the crap one that went down in the lockdown season. So I’m still optimistic. But we won’t stand any chance if we keep conceding late.
