[Football] Staying Up Points

[Perkino]

With the promoted 3 seemingly about to become the relegated 3 for the second season in a row. With just 10 (11 for Leicester) games remaining how many points will 17th need to stay up.

Personally I think the 33 points for Spurs, West Ham, Everton & Man United is unfortunately enough, but are Wolves safe already with 23?

Which God decided that in the season Man Utd were at their sheeeeiiiiiiiitest the bottom three would be so poor there would be no way the Red Rockets could be relegated.
Definitely not the God of Football (supporters)

Leicester will likely manage 3 points on the 12 April so Wolves shouldn't be even thinking of singing "we are staying up" quite yet.
Wolves are in the relegation mixer.

Leicester and Ipswich are around 0.6 pts per game so you’d project 23 if they match that.

Realistically they’re not going to lose 10 in a row. They’re a decent enough side. Bottom 3 are down.

every time this discussion comes up i’m reminded just how shite that derby side was. truly incredible levels of awfulness, the likes of which may never be seen again

Leicester could beat Man United, have shock wins at Newcastle and City, hold Liverpool to a draw…I’m not ruling them out completely if Wolves stumble.

Saints have less points now than Derby did at this stage

 

[Giraffe]

We were on 28 points on 4th Jan and I remember saying then I thought we had enough to stay up. The promoted 3 really have been woeful.

 

[Han Solo]

Said before the season that 25 points would be enough, see little reason to think different now.

Leicester could beat Man United

Wow!

 

[Sorrel]

Will it be any different next year? At least two of Leeds, Sheffield United and Burnley will almost certainly be coming up. Will any of them manage to stay up?

You can't rule out an implosion of a season for an established team (even us). It might take something like that for a promoted team to succeed now.

Their chances of staying up comes down to what Wolves does.

What is the lowest number of points that 18th has ever had at the end of the season (since it was a 20 team league)?

I’ve looked it up. Luton last season with 26 points. Time to change the tracker to a 30 point target?

Leeds might invest enough to give it a go although you’d be worried with Farke as their boss.

Sacrilege, the Tracker is King- its fine just the way it is. Provides a really good baseline from which to judge how the season is really going (good or bad)

Imagine if Rudd hadn't achieved those 4 points as Interim Manager for United. He has potentially saved them from a woeful season

our neighbours father is a real Leeds fan, and although he is happy where they are obviously, he says a lot of fans are waiting for the "Leeds, Leeds are falling apart again" period to kick in. They are certainly not confident that its in the bag yet

Hoping for a Utd financial discrepancy and a 10 point deduction….

The irony would be the City situation saving them….
