[Albion] What's the points target by the time we play Chelsea on Dec 16?

[hans kraay fan club]

The TARGET is 32 points, you'd hope.

European plaice

It was exactly this type of crab that made so
many vote leave. What’s wrong with good old British plaice? [emoji35]

With regards to points I reckon we’ll end up on 19. Draw v Wolves/Cardiff beat Palace/Everton. Roll over and have our bellies tickled by Burnley, Leicester and Huddersfield.

Wolves (h) - 3
Everton (a) - 0
Cardiff (a) - 3
Leicester (h) - 1
Huddersfield (a) - 0
Palace (h) - 3
Burnley (a) - 1

11 points I reckon.

Surely we can get at least a point at Huddersfield - in 9 games they've only scored 4 times, and let in 18...

Think we’ll be floundering, getting about 11, with a ray of hope that it’ll be enough at that stage.

So long as we can be on a perch above relegation?

11 for me too, although different combination. 22 Points by then would be delightful!

You'd hope so but we've had zero luck up there in recent years. I won't be getting my hopes up.

 

[Weststander]

32.

Anything less and we may be out of the CL places race.

In which case CH should seriously consider his position and do the honourable thing.

I'd say nowhere near 40 the way the season has panned out ... so far! My feeling is we need to get 34 points max, so are already 32.4% of the way there with only 23.7% of games played ... happy days!

As lovely as that would be, an unbeaten run of NINE matches is the stuff of fantasy in this league, for all but the very top sides.

No - I meant that the target after the period the OP stated. (11 points now, plus a maximum of 21 from the next 7)

Yes, spotted that just after posting, tis' a tad ambitious!

Palace had an unbeaten run of 8 games last season.

We need a diver.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

6 more points this half of the season is the minimum needed to give us a fighting chance of staying up.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Palace had an unbeaten run of 8 games last season.

Point proven.

Achievable for the likes of City, Chelsea, Liverpool or the mighty Palace.

Not for the likes of us.

Yep. Our longest last season were 2 x 5 games unbeaten in Oct/Nov, and again in Feb/Mar.
If we win on Saturday - its our first ever run of 3 winning games in Prem.

 

[Machiavelli]

So 11 points from 9 games, and after some very tough early fixtures, some that on paper at least look better in next 7 weeks.

In terms of opportunity, surely a real chance to get a slug of points on the board that could make a huge difference to the final table. Obviously it doesn't always work out as we saw towards end of last season, needing those big results against Arsenal, Spurs and Man Utd.

Next 7 fixtures: Wolves (h), Everton (a), Cardiff (a), Leicester (h), Huddersfield (a), Palace (h), Burnley (a).

I think 11 points from those 7 giving 22 from 16 would be decent, could even end up better.

Worth also reflecting that after these first 16 games, we'd have played nine away, and only seven at home. If we get to 20, we'll be in an extremely strong position with 12 further home games.

 

[Rugrat]

I'm in the 11 team

As a couple of others have said, the opposition is also important. Even though 11 would be great, if it was 9 points with three wins v Huddersfield, Cardiff and Palace, I'd certainly take that.
