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

[KeegansHairPiece]

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

I should just check previous posts before I bother typing...

Going by recent form

 

[southstandandy]

Can't see us winning more than 2 to be honest, but think that will be enough with maybe a couple of draws chucked in.

My guess will be that we'll see the lowest points tally yet to survive in the Prem, beating (or lower than) the 34 that West Brom got in 2004 to survive.

 

[portlock seagull]

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.

Sorry, should have said going my recent form. The 65 shots = 1 goal etc

So depressing but probably right. We’re like an animal best out of its misery after four such seasons in the PL. Relegate and rejuvenate a la Norwich or Villa perhaps. Of course no guarantees but...?

One game at a time - we have a good chance against Leicester. Their team is rapidly being decimated by injuries.

But equally we ended a run with 4 games, 3 goals, 13 points. Probably a lot less shots than the last 3 or 4 matches.

Glass half full / half empty. My half is that we can repeat the 4 games 13 points at any given moment. The empty half we carry on as we are. It’s all very unsettling - like a pint that you wonder if the landlord has squeezed just 1 too many out of the barrel.

I’ll drink to that!

Leicester home not so sure, they have a few injuries, certainly got a chance and it's about time we did em

An animal that has never really been in the bottom 3. One that has 40+ points in 2 of its 3 completed seasons. That may well pull away from trouble again this season.

If we’re a wounded animal, then Burnley are along with Newcastle, Palace probably too. Fulham have done the whole promote, relegate, return, scored 5 less than us, won 1 less, not sure how good the theory is?

Those 40 point pints at the end of this season with the sun out, pubs open are going to be the best ever!!

 

[Hugo Rune]

Vs Leicester A - 1 point
Vs Southampton A - 3 points
Vs Newcastle H - 1 point
Vs Man Utd A - 1 point
Vs Everton H - 0 points
Vs Chelsea A - 0 points
Vs Sheff Utd A - 3 points
Vs Leeds H - 0 points
Vs Wolves A - 1 point
Vs West Ham H - 1 points
Vs Arsenal A - 3 points
Vs Man City H - 0 points

40 points in total & survival.

The home and away element has largely disappeared with the absence of crowds. It is more how we play rather that who we play. Our team has become more technical rather than physical and we have a chance in most games. It is down to us.

 

[oldboyroy]

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

Ah well I've only supported for 47 years so that counts me out.....

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

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!??

Sadly our support (on NSC) includes some folk with all the composure of Gunner 'Gloria' Beaumont given a rifle and invited to let Jerry see the glint of his steel.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

38 points seems very optimistic given out current inability to hit several barn doors.

 

[GT49er]

We'll be brilliant!








Whether we'll win any games is another matter!

 

[Weststander]

We’ll get 2 more wins and 5 more draws, giving us 37 points.

Then praying that Fulham’s expensive collection of pace & power (Lookman, Anguissa, Lemina, Cavaleiro, Maja and Loftus-Cheek) don’t get too many wins.

It’s in the balance. A far cry from our supreme confidence after the 3 wins.

Why is anybody surprised that this is a rollercoaster ride ?
Rather than a boring merry go round
We don’t do boring mediocrity

And more than a few from Dads Army as well
Frazier and Jones immediately spring to mind
