[Football] FINAL 12 GAMES - How do you think we will do?

[Jeremiah]

With just 12 to play I would put the games into these brackets -

Won't get any points- Chelsea (A) Man City (H)

Unlikely to get any points but might sneak a point - Leicester (H) , Man United (A) Arsenal (A) Wolves (A)

Should get a point , might even win - Southampton (A) Newcastle (H) Everton (H) Sheff United (A) Leeds (H) West Ham (H)

I will say W - 3 D - 3 L - 6 = 12 points taking us to a total of 38 points and just safe

Do you agree ?

 

[Bakero]

38 would be wonderful.

 

[albionfan37]

Let’s hope we get the 38th game as we might need it

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Isn't there 12 games to go or has the home game against Newcastle been cancelled or something?

 

[studio150]

283 shots on goal, and XG of 31.13 with 12 defeats all by a single goal.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

I reckon we'll end up with a little under a point a game for the season, so I expect 11 more points to take us to 37pts which I think will be sufficient.

With just 11 to play I would put the games into these brackets -

Won't get any points- Chelsea (A) Man City (H)

Unlikely to get any points but might sneak a point - Leicester (H) , Man United (A) Arsenal (A) Wolves (A)

Should get a point , might even win - Southampton (A) Everton (H) Sheff United (A) Leeds (H) West Ham (H)

I will say W - 3 D - 3 L - 5 = 12 points taking us to a total of 38 points and just safe

Do you agree ?

Apart from Citeh in their current form, it's possible we could pick up a point/s anywhere assuming we remember where the goal is ... no idea on final points tally but think we will be safe.

Yes sorry - you are right -

 

[Pevenseagull]

4 points from Wolves, Southampton and Sheff U

5 points from the other games listed

= 35 points,

fortunately we've got Newcastle as well and we'll win that 5-0, piece of piss

38 points

 

[Mancgull]

12 games to go. Three wins and three draws will do it. Home game v Newcastle, away at Southampton and Sheffield United will be massive games. Nothing easy though. Think that 37 will probably be enough. We need a win ASAP to take the pressure off a bit.

Some of our best performances have been against the top clubs. I actually would say the Leicester, Chelsea, Man U & City, Arsenal and wolves games are ones we are likely to get a couple of wins and draws.

4 wins, 4 draws, 4 defeats for me. 16 points, 42 pts.

I think the same with Burnley and Newcastle also on 37. We'd be safe on that with the best goal difference of the three and Fulham below us. In the unlikely event of Fulham escaping, Burnley to be relegated on goal difference.

 

[portlock seagull]

I think we’ll muster 260 shots, so whats that, about 4 goals left to score before the season is done. If we’re enormously lucky we’ll get four 1 nil wins so 12 points max. But realistically I think we’ll get four more draws. So four more points. Meaning we’re almost certain to be relegated. Btw, this isn’t being negative, it’s just applying the empirical evidence of our season to date. I also predict Brighton will be the 1st ever team to have a win reversed the following day. Plus a ref to be abducted by Aliens whilst we hold a 2 goal lead in the 89th min, causing the match to be abandoned. Obviously we lose the replay. Anyone who thinks these scenarios are just ridiculous clearly hasn’t been following this club 40+ years so shut your face...

 

[oldboyroy]

Already predicted on another thread, who would of thought we'd be doing all this after we'd left Anfield with 3 points a few weeks ago!??

Er, anyone who’s supported this club more than 5 mins?!!

 

[London Irish]

Very tricky to get wins against Everton and West Ham in current form. We need 3 wins and the games are Newcastle, Leeds, Southampton and Sheffield. Can see us doing our usual loads of draws and it going to the last 2 weekends

Do you agree ?

In all seriousness rather than look at this through the opponents we’re playing, instead apply 4 more goals scored (which is about right for 11 remaining games) to whichever games do you think they’ll occur in and then whether we’ll get any points from consequently? Ie if the opponents score 2 against us, it’ll mean certain defeat. Remember, you’ve only got four goals to play with and the very very best can hope for is 4 four 1 nil wins. Basically if you believe that’s possible, who can we score a goal against AND keep a clean sheet? Because that’s almost certain the very best we can now hope for with 11 games to go. We have proved this beyond all doubt so don’t go dreaming of scoring 2 or three goals in a single game. That’s called fantasy football. Nope, you’ve got four goals to play with realistically over these 11 remaining games so pick them wisely and truthfully for where you think we might pick up points from?

Why only four? We've scored 26 in 26 games - so we have 12 to play with surely?

 

[Lethargic]

We have more chance of beating Man City/ Man U/ Leicester than we do Sheff U the way we play.

I think we just need to shoot a bit more and we will be fine.

We have scored 1 goal per game at 1 point per game, so by your own logic we should score 12 more goals for 12 more points for a total of 38.

Even just in 2021, we’ve scored 8 goals in 10 games for 13 points. So we might expect 10 goals, 15 pts and hitting the 40point mark.
