    Points from remaining games

    Will we honestly manage to get enough points to keep us up? I'm pretty sure we won't reach 40 points. Here's my guesstimate.

    Man Utd (H) - 0 points
    Bournemouth (A) - 0 to 1 points
    Liverpool (A) - 0 points
    Southampton (H) - 3 points
    Tottenham (A) - 0 points
    Huddersfield (H) - 3 points
    Leicester (A) - 0 to 1 points
    Arsenal (A) - 0 points
    Everton (A) - 0 to 1 points
    West Brom (H) - 3 points
    Watford (A) - 0 to 1 points
    Chelsea (A) - 0 points

    TOTAL: between 9 - 13 points would be my best, most precise guess. Not a very solid point gathering that.

    Looking at the list and trying to guess like that is daft,there are too many variables involved.A lot could happen between now and our last game of the season.Things like players in form/managers leaving etc..
    I think we will get at least one point on sunday..

    Don't know why trying to rationally assess our chances is such a daft idea. Of course there are variables, it's football ffs. I don't actually have a crystal ball, I'm just trying to aim at a realistic gathering of points for the remainder of the season and I wanted to hear what everybody else thinks. It's going to be tight, that's for sure.

    Trying to assess our chances aren't a daft idea,trying to predict a a twelve game acca is...
    Try doing a seven game one on Strurday over the top two divisions and see what happens...

    Oh and on second thoughts put a pund on,cos it will probs come up.Not being funny but I find the footballing gods to be the most,awkward of all..

    At this point, we need to upset one of the top 5 to stay up. We usually play Spurs pretty well.... ?

    For me, our survival depends mainly on how our new signings perform (especially Kenedy and Slimani) and secondly if players like Ritchie can regain form. Diame is doing his bit already.
    If nothing changes I don’t expect more than 6 or 7 points.

    we've picked up 10 points from the last 8 games losing only to city.

    we picked up 14 points from the 1st 9 games despite losing our opening 2 fixtures.

    the shame is that in between we had that run, where we only got 1 point from 9 games.

    as long as we don't repeat our one bad run of the season, then I see no reason why we won't stay up, 38 points could be enough this season.

    the team are pish, but at least they are trying, the last 2 relegations we had good players who couldn't be arsed.

    correct... the one point in 9 games coincided with lascelles injury.

    we're still waiting for Merino to get fit again too.

    we Will be ok.

    Also it coincided with Ritchie’s decline too.

    Maybe with some real threat down the left from Kenedy he might rediscover some decent form.

    Dunno if I am clutching at straws, but if we only have 1 channel for supply to Slimani opposing teams are gonna cotton on quick and close him down.

    We need someone in the middle and someone on the right to offer some kind of threat.
