11 wins needed

[scousefan]

Orlandi says we need 11 wins from remaining games which must be about right. Which of the games can we win? I have put a * next to the ones I think most likely. Note that my final (and therefore most difficult choice was the Palace game

Hull (h)
Blackburn (h) *
Cardiff (a)
Burnley (h) *

Huddersfield (h) *
Bristol city (a) *
Bolton (a)
Barnsley (a) *
Crystal Palace (h) *
Notts Forest (a) *

Charlton (h) *
Leicester (h)
Middlesborough (a)
Peterborough (a) *
Blackpool (h) *
Leeds (a)

Wolves (h) *

I can't see us getting 11 wins tbh.

 

[Baaaald]

I did the same exercise earlier. Couldn't get us to 11. Can't see us beating palace or burnley plus forest and Blackpool might have had a kick up since appointing new mgrs. Although chances are forest may have sacked another one by the time play them!

 

[fozzie's headband]

I don't think we'll need eleven wins personally.
W 9 D 4 L 4 would give us 73 points and I think that this could be enough for 6th place and achievable.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

We've beaten Leicester before at the AMEX, can't see why we can't do it again.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

We will only get the 11 wins by changing the style of play with an orthodox 4-4-2 and a faster , accurate passing game.

 

[leigull]

7 or 8 wins max reckon

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

I don't think we'll need eleven wins personally.
W 9 D 4 L 4 would give us 73 points and I think that this could be enough for 6th place and achievable.

I'd almost agree with this - think we can only afford three defeats, leaving 9 wins and 5 draws.

5 losses, 7 wins and 5 draws so 26 points to add to make 68 in total, but I could be wrong.

 

[the wanderbus]

We wont get eleven wins because we'll chuck too many points away by defending too deep when winning and concede stupid last minute equalizers.

 

[KZNSeagull]

We will win them all. Maybe.

 

[upthealbion1970]

Reckon we will win at Leeds

 

[SeagullSongs]

I can only see us winning 7 max.

7 W
6 D
4 L

Taking us to 69 points.

 

[StonehamPark]

We've only won 10 games so far this season, so f*** knows where we're going to get another 11 from!?

 

[fleet]

We CAN win all the home games and pick up a good few points away from home too. The question really is will we?

Hull (h)
Blackburn (h) *
Cardiff (a)
Burnley (h)

Huddersfield (h) *
Bristol city (a) *
Bolton (a)
Barnsley (a)
Crystal Palace (h) *
Notts Forest (a) *

Charlton (h) *
Leicester (h)
Middlesborough (a)
Peterborough (a) *
Blackpool (h) *
Leeds (a) *

Wolves (h) *

Those are the only I am confident we can win, obviosley we're capable of winning all of those but some of the games I don't think we will.

Ive got us down for 11, controversially not including Palace at home either.

Managing to get a win away to Cardiff in a couple of weeks would be a huge result too.

 

[T soprano]

We've only won 6 out of the last 24 games so to win 11 from 17 games is going to be a tall order

 

[Barnham Seagull]

If we won more than 5 I would be supprised!

Defence and goalkeepers are looking dodgy at the moment.

 

[dandanthebrightonfan]

17 games to go, the last 17 league games we've won 5! so on form alone we've got no chance,but we can all live in hope
