Rayvin 5223 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I mean I almost said, 3 pts and a draw either way around for Norwich or Burnley The former have won 2 of their past 5 games though, their form isn't that far off ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at our fixtures for the rest of the season, I reckon they're thinking something like this (0=loss, 1=draw, 3=win): 1 - Everton (A) - rescheduled 0 - Southampton (A) - rescheduled 0 - WHam (A) 1 - Brentford (A) 3 - Brighton (H) 0 - Chelsea (A) 3 - Palace (H) 0 - Spurs (A) 1 - Wolves (H) 1 - Leicester (H) 1 - Norwich (A) 0 - Liverpool (H) 0 - City (A) 1 - Arsenal (H) 3 - Burnley (A) (comes to 15 pts but still) Personal I think we'll get more against Everton, Southampton, West Ham, Brentford, Spurs, Norwich and Arsenal than you've put down.

Obviously I hope we do, but I don't think we know enough yet to be certain. Our home crowd has been superb recently and has definitely helped get us over the line in a couple of those games, Everton in particular. How will we do away from home? Maybe we'll do great, but I think it's still too early to tell. If you're right then of course we're going to cruise through to safety though, so I very much hope you are.

Rayvin 5223 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 For what it's worth, I actually think we'll end up midtable too - it's like the difference between gut and brain for me, this. I feel like we're basically home dry, and yet when I sit down and look at the games, my optimism isn't reflected in the match outcomes. I'm actually kinda looking forward to seeing how wrong that post with results is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually kinda looking forward to seeing how wrong that post with results is. We’ve been radicalised/driven into the cult of “we are shit” after so many years of unrelentingly fragile performances, where wins have largely been thanks to luck in an otherwise shit performance. We can’t quite allow ourselves to take what we have seen of late, i.e. genuinely solid performances as truly what we are now, and just maybe it won’t turn to shit again. Test will be the response to the next reverse on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44887 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 It's the update you've all been waiting for. Watford and Burnley both narrowed the gap between PPG required and Current Mgr PPG with wins. We were bang in line with what we need to get to 36 points (1 point per game). Norwich further adrift - Dean Smith is just about clinging onto that 0.9 PPG at 0.86 rounded up - that boy is on his way to 0.8 any time now, and his team are on their way to the Championship. I've replaced Hodgson's PPG achieved with his actual (rather than season to date, as it was last week). 4 points from 4 games, he's got so far, so early days and that could go in either direction fairly quickly. Hopefully I'm including more than 4 teams from next week - I bet you can't fucking wait. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was worth a tenner I thought not particularly generous odds I don't think considering there was every liklihood we could've been adrift in bottom 3 by the january window. as it is we weren't and are definitely looking upwards rather over our shoulder. hope I'm wrong but I reckon you'll fall a couple of places short with your bet. however had we signed mitrovic instead of wood.....

A bit late to this but howay, what a pile of shite. We're unbeaten since Christmas, we xan still grind out results without our 3 best players. Less than 10% chance of us going down imo.

Rayvin 5223 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Will take criticism on those judgements only from people who made their own I'm really pleased with that result, happy to be wrong. A bit concerned Burnley suddenly look decent but it's just one game I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 I’m 70/30 in the sausage party. Beat Brentford, which we should on current form, and it’s 80/20. I’d be more confident still if Watford and Burnley hasn’t won yesterday. It seems like the teams below us might be more of a concern than those above us. I can see Brentford definitely getting dragged in to to where Burnley could find a way out of it - they usually do. I never thought Everton would be bad enough to go down but they look terrible so perhaps Gemmill was right after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think Watford and Burnley, and even Norwich tbh, aren't dead and buried just yet. The teams above us could quite quickly find themselves dragged into it with very little warning. We've closed the gap on the teams above us, just need to keep moving forward there really. Everton, Leeds, Brentford and IMO Palace should all be careful. It'll be really competitive this year.

Just strolling around while Southampton dominated them. Lampard saying "it's going to take time" after the game - errr Frank, I've got terrible news for you. BTW only 80% confident of stopping up if we win at Brentford?! Have a fucking word with yourself man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
