Thread: How Many Points needed?

  1. #1

    How Many Points needed?

    Farke has said he think as few as 5 are needed to ensure we stay up.

    Not sure that will either be enough or more importantly is setting the bar high enough.

    If my explain the cautious safety first at all costs approach.

    He seems determined to make this go down to the wire when we could be safe by now if he had played more attacking football using the whole squad.

    Nowhere near enough, in all honesty I can?t even see where the next goal will come from let alone any points, wolves and Burnley should be 6 points, no worries, but I just can?t see it happening.

    The lack of goals changes the whole points scenario. Farke in incorrect on number of points needed.

    if we aren't scoring we don't win the wolves, burnley or spurs games. I think going to take 8 points and I don't think any of our remaining games are gimmes. we draw a lot of "gimme games".

    Wolves & Burnley = 6 points
    All the other games leaves just 1 point to get for 40 points in total.

    I?m calculating on the fixtures that Forest have to be that much more difficult.

    We need at least two wins…we will get, maybe he’s feeling a wee bit of pressure we all know what us fans are like! He does too! For the most part (imo) the players are out there giving it there all..he has brought that in once we settled into the prem.
    No easy games either, mind you they never were! A winner never stops trying.

    He's as clueless in that respect as he is in team selection and tactics. If we surivive and he is retained, book your place for relegation shootoiut this time next season, guaranteed!

    Spam have a manager who has grey matter between his ears. It's no certainty, but I'd bet Nuno with a decent squad who are playing for survival against Farke and a squad who think they have already survived

    So another 5 draws then.
    His aim from day 1 was to finish 17th.
    If he succeeds it will encourage him to raise the bar to 16th.
