I know we have a few of these but I think the next 6 games will decide if we stay up or not. So, what are your predictions?
A) Hull (draw)
H) Stoke (win)
A) Newcastle (lose)
H) Bitters (win)
A) Sunderland (win)
H) Swansea (draw)

I think we'll get a massive morale boosting win versus Hull and essentially set things up for Lambert to keep his job for sure for yet another season. It will be followed by decent performances to get the required points to see us clear.
-
Hull win
Stoke draw
Newcastle draw
Baggies draw
Sunderland lose
Swansea win
All of which could be unraveled by Tuesday night.

Hull Win

Albion Win

Swansea Draw

Just looking at the fixtures until the end of the season. April's a shit month - Man United, Tottenham and Man City away and home to QPR. So the next 6 fixtures + QPR (h) will decide how much of a scary May we have.
-
Draw, draw, lose, win, lose, win.
I'd probably take that now if offered.
-
A) Hull - nil-nil bore draw
H) Stoke - two-nil defeat. Like a recovering alcoholic, we don't do doubles.
A) Newcastle - we're shit here even when we're good. And we're pretty fucking far from good. Three-nil loss.
H) Bitters - a goal! A goal! We'll only draw one-one though due to someone like, oh, let's say Cleverley, getting stupidly sent off.
A) Sunderland - they must hate us because we never do Newcastle and quite often beat these. We will again, a corner-turning two-one win.
H) Swansea - an early lead, have we really turned the corner? Nope. One-four.

Interesting that the previous posts range from totals of 5 to 11 points. I go draw, draw, lose, draw, lose, draw. Do I win a 'most negative poster' prize?
-
We need to win at least three of those games.
-
Not necessarily. I'd take two wins and four draws.
-
Ok we need at least 9 points.
-
Looking like a few draws there for me, certainly no one would bat an eyelid if we draw at home to West Brom and Stoke for instance but we desperately need to win ideally two games.
We need to be over 30 points at the end of that run which on current form is a big ask but can be done for example if we win on Tuesday. It will look a look easier then.
I agree if we are in the bottom 3 after that run we will do down as look what we have in April, away games in Manchester and at Spurs. We need to have a decent buffer over the bottom 3 going into that month.
-
Need to win at least two. I have a good feeling about Hull now the goal hoodoo has been removed. Win that and the world is our oyster ;)

Worth noting the next 6 games for the "rivals"
Leicester
Arsenal v Leicester
Everton v Leicester
Leicester v Chelsea
Man. City v Leicester
Leicester v Hull
Spurs v Leicester
QPR
Sunderland v QPR
Hull v QPR
QPR V Arsenal
QPR V Spurs
Palace v QPR
QPR v Everton
Burnley
Burnley v WBA
Man. United v Burnley
Chelsea v Burnley
Burnley v Swansea
Liverpool v Burnley
Man. City v Burnley
Hull
Hull v us
Hull v QPR
Stoke v Hull
Hull v Sunderland
Leicester v Hull
Hull v Chelsea
Leicester are totallly dead and buried. They have no chance.
If Burnley don't win tomorrow they look dead in the water aswell. After that they also have Spurs, Arsenal and Everton.
Wildcards are QPR with new manager syndrome but amusinly their easier games are away from home where they're bobbins.
Think Hull will go on a bit of a run now and pull clear so would help us if they could beat QPR and Leicester while they're at it and play out a draw with us.
As I've said if we are in the bottom 3 after next 6 games I can't see anything other than relegation as in April we have to visit Manchester twice and Spurs so we really need a buffer going into that month from the bottom three.

Good analysis SHQ.

Yeah very useful. Our relegation rivals do have a nasty run coming up.
I have a pretty bad feeling about Hull though. By ref decision or some idiocy I think we will lose which will put me into complete meltdown.

6 straight wins would be nice. When did that last happen? Early 90's ?

Early 1890s, probably.

I think we managed five under MON? The run incorporated the agent ridge well game and a 4-0 at Blackburn.

That's actually made me feel a lot better. It's quite possible that Leicester, Burnley and QPR only get about 4 points each from that lot, so if we could get 9 from 18 things wouldn't look too bad. He says, trying to convince himself!
-
Those fixtures of the teams down the bottom favour us and Hull I reckon. It would be interesting to see Palace, Sunderland and Albion's fixtures too.

Post of the day.

I will stick with the predictions I have made to the end of the season. I think we will have a decent spell over the next few games, followed by a largely barren April, leading to a fairly nervous May.
A) Hull - draw
H) Stoke - draw
A) Newcastle - lose
H) Bitters - win
A) Sunderland - draw
H) Swansea - win

Last game of the season. Aston Villa v Burnley. Winner stays up, loser goes down. Both go down if drawn.
-
Benteke rediscovers his form, we win all six and finish the run with a positive goal difference.
I am also going on holiday to the Big Rock Candy Mountains, where you never change your socks, and the little streams of alcohol come trickling down the rocks. The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railway bulls are blind there's a lake of stew and of whiskey too, you can paddle all round it in a big canoe.

I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours!

if that prediction of 3 points for the next six is correct there is no way it's going to the last game

All wins. 25 scored, 0 conceded. A blaze of glory to kick off Cesare Prandelli's Villa career.
-
A 1-0 win
A 1-1 draw
A 0-0 draw
A 2-0 loss
A 1-0 loss
A 3-1 loss
I have absolutely no idea how to match the scores to the games bu think we will manage to scrape 5 points and 3 more goals

Good run of fixtures for us, this
A) Hull W
H) Stoke L
A) Newcastle D
H) Bitters W
A) Sunderland W
H) Swansea D
Three wins from safety.
-
4 draws v Hull, Stoke, Baggies and Sunderland.
-
I hate these threads, because everyone's optimistic predictions are generally fucked over by reality.
On paper it's not a tough series of fixtures, but be prepared for lots of disappointing 0-0 and 0-1 scorelines.
-
Hull win
Stoke draw
Newcastle loss
Albion draw
Sunderland loss
Swansea win

1 a draw against Sunderland.

Does it still not snow or rain there, and the wind never blow? The sun shine every day?
Bag me a seat on the bus!
-
Randomlly put six in but how the hell we are going to get them I haven't got a clue.
Will go
Stoke - Draw
Newcastle - Lose
West Brom - Win (but wouldn't surprise me if they get something)
Sunderland - Lose
Swansea - draw
Most teams near the bottom would be happy with those next five fixtures, but for us it looks scary! ::)
-
Looks like most called tonight's 6 pointer wrong. The way I see it is we simply have to beat stoke and albion now. Just struggling to see where a point will come from though
-
Be interesting to see how we do if we can get someone in before Stoke which should be possible....
if these previously hopeless teams like Palace and QPR can start winning games when they change manager, surely to McGrath we can win a game or two in the next few weeks or do normal rules not apply to us?
We did have reasonable starts under Houllier and McLeish aswell.
-
Can I re-evaluate?
-
Can I re-evaluate?
I'm told teachers are constantly re-evaluating! You're right though, a new manager could have a significant impact. Not necessarily saying it will be good though.
-
Could it be any worse?
-
Not much.
-
Will stick with my six for now. But if we make the right appointment it could be more.

What the hell, I've just gone for 15.
