Will 32 points be enough to keep us up?

[ollyhoops]

As much as we might play better against the top sides only beaten 1 & drawn with 1 of the top 7
beaten Chelsea and what a mess ther're in and drew with newcastle at home.

Lost to Man city,Man utd,Liverpool Newcastle Arsenal & Spurs. Not so sure on your optimisum but we live in hope!

Dave, we have a lot of home games to play, plus we do tent to raise the bar against higher clubs and we were unlucky with man city/liverpool and arsenal etc..

I guarantee you, the teams below will not reach 32 pts. ;-)

[Hertford Hoop]

32 will be enough even 29 but 3 other clubs have to get less though and we'll be fine

Seriously I think we will get more than 32 points, 36-39 I think we'll get and safety

I dont see any reason why we cant achieve that. Thats actually cheered me up. I even think Sunderland and WBA are winnable.

[SpankwiR]

Then again it looks like we could get relegated at Chelsea.

Oh dear god no.

Check the history books, a couple of teams at the bottom always get a run of form at the end of the season and pick up unlikely points, this year will be no different. I'm certain that nobody will be staying up on 32 points.

Agree, but there's not usually 5 teams that have been so woeful at collecting points as per this season. I think there will be teams that pick up, and think they will be us and Blackburn. Although i don't neccesarrily think 32 will be enough, i wouldn't be surprised if it is.

[vblockranger]

Wigan and Wolves to go down..and 1 out of us Bolton and Blackburn. Thats why its essential we pick up 3 points Saturday

[stainrodisalegend]

Think there is too much expectation about three points. Most teams at the bottom aren't picking up any points, period. After Everton I'm slightly more confident that we have enough under Hughes to grind out a series of draws and imo that might just be sufficient. We finally have a full squad (Faurlin aside) and hopefully players have been told in no uncertain terms to avoid stupid red cards. Yes we have a lot of tough fixtures but Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool are all at home. Possible to get three points out of those. The only fixtures where I'd be amazed if we got anything is away to the two Manchester clubs and possibly Chelsea (who knows how they will respond to recent upheaval). Key thing is to avoid defeats and in particular heavy ones that bust morale and goal-difference. Since Fulham ages ago we haven't been tonked by anyone but most of our rivals have. We are well drilled now and think we have enough to look competitive against all but the top two.

[acricketer]

We'll just scrape it with 31 points on goal difference.

[jmelanie]

The main thing is that the team start to make an effort and avoid stupid mistakes. So far this has cost us far too many points. People keep saying that we are unlucky. I think that we are actually lucky in that there are teams in the premiership this season which are not really premiership standard. If this was not the case we would already be down. There is still time for us to improve and the players should have now had time to gell and hopefully the results will follow. Also people complain of players being injured, this again is something which happens with every team and this is why you need 25 good players.
