Relegation Possibility

[JUAN PABLO]

I'm more worried about AMC being with us next season.

[Eigentor]

I think will get:

Wigan 1 pt (29 pts)
Blackburn 1 pt (30 pts)
Fulham (h) 1 pt (31 pts)
Bolton (h) 3 pts (34 pts)
Arsenal 0 pts (34 pts)
Chelsea (h) 1 pt (35 pts)
Liverpool 1 pt (36 pts)
Stoke (h) 1 pt (37 pts)
Man U 0 pt (37 pts)
Sunderland (h) 1 pt (38 pts)
West Brom 3 pts (41 pts)
Spurs (h) 1 pt (42 pts)
Norwich 3 pts (45 pts)

P 38 - W 9 - D 18 - L 11

45 points and we'll finish somewhere between 12th and 15th.

I'm ashamed of the anti football bollocks that's associated with this club. I can't consider myself a proud villan with this going on.

If you desire Championship football that much, I know somewhere you can go to see it....Oh wait a minute, I'm just getting what's going on here.

[SoccerHQ]

We won't go down.

McLeish may be god awful but he can at least beat relegation teams, we have beaten Wolves, Blackburn, Wigan and Bolton home and away this season.

In any case I reckon 35 or 36 points will keep you up this season.

[BedsVillain]

13 points from a possible 39 at home & only 14 goals scored = relegation fodder IMO

[TonyD]

Can I just point out, after 25 games last season, Blues had 30 points. We have 28. With a better squad. Shit is not the word for the job he is doing. If they can drop from 30 at this point last season, we can from 28.

Bugger that is sobering stuff.  The next 4 games are make or break.

[Chipsticks]

It should be regarded as an important issue, but I get increasingly frustrated each time this topic gets posted, which is always around this time for the least 2 or 3 years.

We won't go down, the teams below us are far worse than us, and I will make a bold prediction and say that they will amass a much worse set of results than we will in the coming months.

Thats what i thought.

[Eigentor]

Btw, if we extrapolate from our record so far this season, we'll get 9 wins, 15 draws and 14 losses - which means 42 points. I don't think that's  entirely unrealistic. Even if today's performance was very poor, it's more likely a continuation of the pattern of performances like Spurs, Liverpool and Man Utd -- not a complete downturn in form.

Next four league fixtures will make or break our season:

Villa:

Wigan (a), Blackburn (a), Fulham (h), Bolton (h)

Others in the mix:

West Brom:

Sunderland (h), Chelsea (h), Man Utd (a), Wigan (a)

QPR:

Fulham (h), Everton (h), Bolton (a), Liverpool (h)

Blackburn:

Man City (a), Villa (h), Wolves (a), Sunderland (h)

Wolves:

Newcastle (a), Fulham (a), Blackburn (h), Man Utd (h)

Bolton:

Chelsea (a), Man City (a), QPR (h), Villa (h)

Wigan:

Villa (h), Swansea (h), Norwich (a), WBA (h)

Trouble is we have only won SIX games this season:

Home against Blackburn, Wigan and Norwich.

Away against Bolton, Chelsea and Wolves.

Four of those against the current bottom four. Poor poor poor.

We're a tempting 16/1 with Willhill to be relegated.

Oh fuck, that's horrible reading.

[Steve kirk]

Relegation is a possibility and I am like the rest of you very worried but I think we will be ok, we usually find an unexpected result or two a bit like Stoke and Chelsea away which gives us a cushion before the fuck ups that follow, we then win another (Wolves away) followed by more dross and on it goes.
Our superior goal difference is worth another point, we win 1 in 4 and I expect us to continue with that kind of form and end up about 13th/14th.       

[Legion]

There are far worse teams than us currently lower than we are. We'll be fine. Top half just like last season.
