[Albion] Crucial phase of the season.... the next four matches - how many points?

[Bozza]

I didn't mean the %, i was more referring to the assessment/liability to offer such odds when you look at the prices of teams around us.

After these 4 games, points are going to be tough for some time during March/April. Even Norwich is not a given.

Ah, gotcha and I agree.

Watford are a best-priced 3/1. I think I'd rather be in their shoes right now, giving us a two-point (plus GD) head start over the remainder of the season, although I'll caveat that by saying I've not looked at their fixtures.

Newcastle are, at a best-priced 4/1, seen as twice as likely to get relegated as us which doesn't feel quite right.

I can only think that our upcoming games are heavily baked into our current price, and there'll be a big shake-up in odds, one way or another by the time next week's mid-week games play out.

I will go for an optimistic 8. Anything less and we are in big trouble.

Really? So if we beat Bournemouth and Villa, draw with an in form Watford but lose away at West Ham we are in ‘big trouble’ with those additional 7 points taking us over the 30 point barrier with more than ten games to play.

The drama and over reaction on here is unbelievable.

My take as well, cannot see us beating West Ham or Watford

I couldn’t see us beating Spurs and Arsenal, or salvaging a point against Chelsea, but we did. Anyway, I’m a glass half full sort of fellah so I will remain positive until such time that we really are in the

I assume they'd also rather watch the world burn.

No drama or panic, a calm study of our position. I admire your 'beat 'Muff and Villa'. Easy peasy.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

It’s a five from me.

 

[blue-shifted]

I've gone for a (I'd bite your hand off for and probably give away my first born son for) 9.

3 wins and a loss. Not necessarily to come in the games you would expect them to

5 for me. One win and two draws.

Hopefully somewhere between 6 and 8. If we only get a couple of points (or heaven forbid, even less) we really would be in deep trouble - potentially very slim pickings in March and April.
We should get 6 to 8, but I do wonder how much the team will be affected by the pressure, as pressure there will surely be. Let's hope Potter's team and Potterball prove to be able to cope with it.

Maybe they're using it as a proxy for Zero?

 

[Surrey Phil]

Full of confidence and faith in GP = 10 points!

 

[seagull_special]

7 points, win against Villa, win away at Muff (signals Smug Eddie's departure), nowt against the 'ammers and a point against Twatford

My thinking too.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

8 points - win both home games and draw both away.

8 would be nice, and undefeated for 4’games. Entirely possible as is 10, but sods law says 6. Anything less would be an underachievement and set the sprinklers off

 

[shingle]

5 points from next 4 games

 

[hans kraay fan club]

The next four games, are absolutely critical - not just for us, but for all the bottom teams. So many huge six-pointers:

18.01.20
Albion v Villa
Norwich v Bournemouth

21.01.20
Villa v Watford
Bournemouth v Albion

01.02.20
Bournemouth v Villa
Newcastle v Norwich
West Ham v Albion

08.02.20
Albion v Watford

In the words of Dianne Abbott - 17 points

Hopefully 9, Watford form is second only to Liverpool so I'd take a point from that game, the Moyes effect will have worn off by the time we play West Ham and that's 3 in the bag, Villa we're all over the shop until Mooy got sent off and look in real trouble, so 3 there, Bournemouth are gonners imo their Squad is simply not big or good enough to keep them up so 3 there, voted 9 but hoping for 10.

If it goes wrong and we only pick up 2-3 points then we're in trouble but i still think Potter is the right man for the job whatever happens.
