[Football] So who is going down with WBA and Sheff Utd

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Also, if you look at the form table, NO ONE has scored fewer goals than us over the past 5 games.

Having said that, I don't expect us to go down - we're too good!

I suppose the poll is quite specific and to aswer Brighton, that means you geneuinely believe that they are most likely to go down, despite having more points etc etc. I'm still puzzled that anyone would say we are the most likely to go down.

It's possible - that's unarguable. But the most likely? Not buying it.

Each to their own I suppose. But I strongly suspect that many of the dozen (now more) live a pretty negative and glass half full kind of existence, which must be a burden. (pulls on tim hat and waits for abuse)

Incidentally, I was looking at the stats for our first 12 games, compared to the next 12. Dividing our season into two is interesting, as Ryan was the keeper up to Game 12 (with the exception of the game away to Spurs)...

First 12: 10 points (For 15, Against 21)
Next 12: 16 points (For 10, Against 9)

As has been said before, our up-tick in form is mainly to do with sorting out the defence (and esp having a decent, calm, goal-keeper)

The form table for the past dozen matches has a bottom four of Shef Utd, Newcastle, West Brom and Southampton. And I think you can almost certainly discount Southampton as relegation candidates.

Although, ref Southampton - they have SEVEN points from their last 12 games....they have completely fallen apart!

I am staggered, utterly befuddled, that any Brighton fan would genuinely think that we are the most likely side to get relegated with WBA and SU this season.

Currently 12 people who appear to genuinely think, despite our game in hand, our points advantage and the relative form of these sides, that we will go down this season.

It explains a huge amount about the context of some of the utter miserablism that gets posted by some on here.

Couldn’t put it any better myself.

ONE point from their last SEVEN games.

I didn't vote for the Albion (I plumped for Newcastle) but I can understand why someone would vote for Brighton, bizarre as it may seem.

There are really only three teams that can go down (Burnley are too savvy and Palace too far ahead) so in a three-horse race, there will always be people who back one of the three, even if they are the outsider.

I see that the BBC was musing over Hodgson's future at the weekend, highlighting his poor record of 3 wins in 14 games and speculating on his future. That 'poor record' is exactly the same as Potter's. And while we're in a better position than the other two clubs, a team that has only won one game at home all season can never feel fully secure.

...and yet the bookies have us at 25/1 to go down and Palace at 10/1. Those odds are not a true reflection of the relative chances (in my view) but nevertheless........

Nor mine.

But I do think it's highly unlikely that either Palace or Brighton will go down.

However, I would point out that we're in the middle of a good run (which is sure to come to an end sometime) and Palace are on a poor run (which is sure to come to an end sometime) and they're still above us.

We could do it if we don’t start scoring goals.
Sheer madness tonight

 

[A1X]

We're nowhere near as safe as a lot of people on here seem to think we are

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Fulham, still.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

[saafend_seagull]

Coin flip between us, Newcastle and Fulham now. When is Wilson back ?

We are right back in it. We cant score and this is going to be a problem.

 

[portslade seagull]

Think the team are doing their best to make themselves favourites
