[Albion] Next six games

[Audax]

My view is that if we don't have at least ten points from these games we are as good as relegated.

I think that is over egging it. We still have 10 games left after that, including home games against Leicester and Huddersfield. 10 points would put us on 33, so you're assuming we'll get less than 6 or so points from our last 10 matches.

I'd say 7 as a minimum, gets us to 30 points with 10 to play. Get anything above 7pts and I think we're in good shape, even 5 or 6 gives us a decent chance still. Get 10 (I actually put 11 as I think we'll do okay) on 33 points with 10 to play we will be still well clear of the drop zone, and we might even be able to sit back and enjoy the games!

I think "as good as relegated" is over-egging it as well, but I would argue that the next 6 games could see us more-or-less safe if we're able to put away the teams beneath us.

We could, in theory, get away with draws against the 5 beneath us and then pick up some points later in the season, but I'd be far happier if we get to the end of these 6 games and we're already pushing up towards 35-38 points. That'll allow us to play more freely through the rest of the season and possibly experiment a little with alternative systems for use next season.

The West Brom game could be influential re: transfers as well. Win that one and we look a better bet than if we lose it.

Going to go for 8 points. Wins against Swansea and West Brom. Not hopefull for anything against Southampton even though they are struggling.
