[Albion] How many points do you think BHAFC will end up with ?

[Surrey Phil]

I'm hoping come the last few games teams like man u, Liverpool etc have confirmed where they have finished in the league and decide that the players going on world cup duty be rested

I think you are right and we may have to change the formation slightly and go for bust in one of those games!

I think that by then the only position sorted will be Man City as champions so they will not rest players, least of all for England World Cup venture.

Can't remember Izzy Brown touching the ball really. Izquierdo was my reference.

Well why did you call Jose Izquierdo 'Izzy' then, when Izzy is Izzy Brown?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I said 37 before the season started, and sticking with that.

Will it be enough, who knows.

 

[DavePage]

42 for me please

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

43..

 

[ac gull]

36

stay up on goal difference

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Oh goody, another poll....

Oh, hang on.....

 

[Guerrero]

36.Hope it's enough.

 

[OzMike]

It's a real shame that we have to 'right off' 6 of the last remaining games, that's 18 points.
I know that they are the top 6 teams, but come on.

I call them both Izzy, hopefully soon it will be just one though to avoid confusion (and that Jose BTW)

That's why an NSC poll opted for Izzy (for Brown) and Jose (for Izquierdo), to avoid confusion.

 

[OzMike]

Just enough, I hope.

Ah I missed that one, will try to use Jose going forwards, cant promise though, I rarely talk about the other Izzy

I agree that you're right that we probably only need one of the Izzy's (and not the Izzy one!)

 

[Withdean]

That league table missed on round-38 games a season.

 

[Albion my Albion]

How about a poll?

I know that they are the top 6 teams, but come on.

Writing off all 12 games against the top six is effectively condemning us to relegation.
It leaves us having to win every other game to stay up and that is not going to happen. Most of the others ( outside the Big Six ) have nicked points here and there and some have even won games ( Huddrsfld v Man Utd...Palace v Chelsea ) We are going to lose at City and Liverpool, that is a given, so we have to have a right go in the four home games. Better to get hammered in three of them but sneak a shock win, than defend in numbers and end up with one draw and three losses ( or even four losses )
The big boys know we will be hard to break down but they all know that we are prone to mistakes, particularly at set pieces. They play the patient game and eventually pick us off. So far, we have been far too predictable in our approach. Our only chance is to try and surprise them. Not easy but any points gleaned from these six matches could make the difference between staying up or going down.

 

[Gazz15]

35-36pts.

We are going down of that there is little doubt, week by week our position is weakening.

The failure to sign a striker last summer will be the deciding factor, now it seems that just about every other side needs the same 'fix' at the same time.

Exactly the same thing applies to the team's below us, who will have to win more games than us.
