[Albion] To Avoid Potter Bashing - Staying Up Tracker - 2020/21 - Game 38 Update - 1 OVER

[Giraffe]

All square again after the greedy ****er, super league traitors to a draw.

 

[Reddleman]

I was worried we would be behind the tracker going into predicted home wins against Leeds and West Ham which will be tough games. However now we are level gives us the opportunity to offset those potential dropped points against Sheffield United, Wolves and maybe Arsenal. Tonight was a huge point. Delighted and love this tracker.

the tracker never lies

This tracker is a thing of great beauty.

Bonus point as we head into three critical games for point accumulation.

Saturday is a free hit on the tracker, no points expected

 

[um bongo molongo]

I have a hunch we’re going to hit EXACTLY 40 points. Which would be aesthetically very pleasing for the tracker.

I think we will take 6 points from the next 4, to keep us on track Free hits for the last 2.

I think we might be playing in flip flops for the West Ham game

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

My feeling on here months ago was that 34 points would be enough, with our GD. I still think that's the case but would love three against Sheff Utd just to make sure!

 

[Live by the sea]

Think we need 37 points to be safe .

I think we might be playing in flip flops for the West Ham game

With our record against West Ham we could probably beat them while wearing flip flops

These next 3 games are where we should make ourselves safe.

Safer than we already are?

We are not going down.

I know. I just mean safe safe. Like officially. And yes, maybe even better than that (a win on Saturday puts us 1 point behind them.)

I still have my eye on catching them this season.

You're safe when the season ends, and you're outside the bottom three. This season, I predict (and have been predicting for a long time), the points total required to stay above the bottom three will either be in line with recent years (which has been historically low) or even lower than that. I'd be staggered if West Brom or Fulham can get up to the 34 points we're currently on. Even if they do and we lose all remaining games, we'd have to lose about 10-0 to City in order for Fulham (West Brom have zero chance of getting a better goal difference than us) to eclipse us. That's not going to happen: we're solid defensively. In short, we're currently safe.
Sporting Index currently have West Brom's predicted points total at 30, and Fulham 32.5

PS, the Tracker is great, but it becomes increasingly meaningless in the last quarter/third of the season, and should be renamed as a 40 point Tracker (which is what it is) rather than a Staying Up Tracker (see ^)
