[Albion] To avoid bed wetting - the staying up tracker - 2018-19 Game 36 update - 5 below

[Goldstone1976]

We'll finish on 36 points and stay up

Yep, but for the first time in 4 seasons, my pre-season prediction of where we'll finish (see left <---) will be wrong.

Fail to win tomorrow and it will be the most behind we have been all season, and only once behind before and that was on the first day!

I had a bet on a Top 10 finish!!!! ;-)

Ah. Is there a cash-out option available to you? You might a Crystal Palace return on your money...

A normally clever guy and his money are easily parted.

To be honest if there was in Dec I'd have taken it!

67/1 ew on us winning the FA Cup!

and a yankee with City, WBA, Lincoln & Notts County (don't ask)

I thought about doing City, Villa, Sunderland and I can't remember the other ... my laziness saved me £10.

Always seems a good value bet to me, was around a tenner to pick winner of each league, I normally add an FA Cup bet, enjoy looking at it all year and won on three out of four league winners last season, so ended up with around ten years worth of free bets!

It's still mathematically possible.

Southampton +5
Palace +3
Newcastle +3
Albion 0
Burnley -1
---------------------------
Cardiff -7
Fulham -12 (R)
Huddersfield -22 (R)

Southampton +5
Palace +3
Newcastle +3
Albion 0
Burnley -1
---------------------------
Cardiff -7
Fulham -12 (R)
Huddersfield -22 (R)

Always a very reassuring post.

Would look a lot tighter if we lost to Cardiff though:

Southampton +5
Palace +3
Newcastle +3
Burnley -1
Albion -3
---------------------------
Cardiff -5
Fulham -12 (R)
Huddersfield -22 (R)

 

[Giraffe]

Well given the board is sprayed with urine right now this seem a little bit pointless. Lets hope that's what Cardiff will be in their last 4 matches.

We are below the tracker for the first time since the first game, and by 3 points! Crisis, it's a crisis!

*I still think we will stay up. Stay dry fellas and lasses.

 

[LlcoolJ]

Well played Giraffe.

The other team comparison:

Southampton +5
Palace +3
Newcastle +3
Burnley -1
Albion -3
---------------------------
Cardiff -5
Fulham -12 (R)
Huddersfield -22 (R)

So do I buy plastic sheets or an "I told you so" T-Shirt?

 

[pb21]

If you look at that we were essentially meeting expectations, at least on paper (I know West Ham, Newcastle and Wolves wins were 'lucky'), until the Southampton home loss.

Arguably we have been playing pretty shit for a while, i.e. since end of Jan, with West Brom in the FA cup games and the capitulation at Fulham, but until then it wasn't causing too much of an issue.

I do wonder if something happened around that time.
