[Albion] Win on Friday and we're safe

[Justice]

We will loose the next three games, won't it be exciting!

That's the spirit.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I'm yet to be convinced that Southampton will win at Everton or beat Man City on the last day.

So 5 points maximum for Southampton and worst pragmatic case is it'll go down to goal difference.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

... Can all the other teams really keep winning?

They can ... they won't..

Imagine staying in the Premier League by beating Man United.

Will win . If CH takes the shackles of just a little please .

But that’s irrelevant because Huddersfield will have lost all three and be down anyway... presuming Stoke occupy the other spot.

That is what prompted this thread really. Wouldn't it be MAGNIFICENT.

(Especially as the guy who sits next to me is a self-confessed Man U fan).

And goals for ? Why am I not surprised you left that out?

Arsenal 67
Albion 32

As I said, we cannot compare ourselves to Arsenal who are apparently having a season from hell if their entitled fans are to be believed

Huddersfield have won 1 in 7.
Swansea have won 1 in 7
Southampton have won 1 in 9
West Ham have won 1 in 8

And goals for ? :

IF ONLY HUGHTON WOULD GO FOR IT AND SHOW SOME "AMBITION" eh Icy !!!

Once we are safe I bloody hope he does, absolutely no excuses if he doesn’t, well imo anyway

Not sure why, but as good as that is I've a feeling our goals against tally may go up after playing City and Liverpool away.

Please don’t try and ruin Chailey’s argument

`the point is to illustrate Hughton's record at creating well organised teams that ship few goals.
But yep . thanks its occured to me as well.

Southampton will not have to beat City if they beat Everton and Swansea to give them 38 points. If Swansea beat Bournemouth and Stoke they will have 39 points. A single win by Huddersfield and West Ham puts them on 38 points. It looks a big ask for Huddersfield but Chelsea and Arsenal are not looking invincible and they did beat United earlier in the season.

Is there a single Albion fan that would argue with that? It is the lack of ambition away from home that is so annoying! For example, against Burnley there were a few occasions that we broke really quickly and then slowed it right down when we could have actually run at Burnley before their defence got back.

Not conceding goals is a massive achievement but we could have scored more with a little ambition, not sure why you can’t take this on board

Has anything that he has done since being our manager (and before, if you believe Norwich fans) indicate that he will put out an exciting, attacking team - it's just not in his DNA it seems. I'm not criticising him, just saying that those who want the shackles taken off for our final games, I suspect, are going to be sorely disappointed. We'll see.

Yes, there have been occasions when we have ripped teams apart playing attacking football in spells. Maybe not so much this year but he can set up like that.

Agreed. Yes sometimes we have been very defensive away from home but it is a policy that has by and large worked. I don't think anyone can really accuse us of not attacking the opposition at the Amex. Contrary to what some people are saying, there's been some great entertainment.
