40 points?

[BegbieAV]

Will 40 points see us safe ? And if so do you think we will get them and where will they come from. 18 games to go I think we need at least another 5 or 6 wins. Basically we need a miracle.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Me and Malteser head from Hot Chocolate believe in miracles.

Don't give up.

[BegbieAV]

Given up already

There's more chance of me nailing Kylie Minogue than us getting 40 points. Not a hope in hell - I'd be amazed if we got 30

How many points do ya think we will get? I think 37

[Greg N'Ash]

we just got tanked by wigan who are supposedly a soft touch.. Only team more powderpuff than us is the bindippers

[myf]

36 needed i reckon. 5 wins and a few draws will do us

Where will we get 5 wins from? We've won 6 in 39 games this calendar year. No chance whatsoever

[PeterWithesShin]

We'll get 43-47 points and be fine.

[BegbieAV]

PeterWithe r u mad ?

[levico]

40 points will be good enough for some team to stay up but it won't be us. I think we might just get 35 but I'm not optimistic about that.

The key on the amount of points needed to stay up will be this January. I'm sure 'Arry will be wheeling and dealing and with the draw of high wages and London, will probably hoover up the types of players we will need. For example, I expect Parker to be a QPR player by Feb 1st. So we need to improve our team with better players then Reading, QPR and Southampton

As for matches, at least when we lose to Swansea, our rivals should all lose as well although one of them could get a shock result. But we definitely need 3 points against Southampton now. A loss then could see a 3 point and +15 or more GD between us and 17th place.

If we end January in the bottom two or adrift of 17th, we are down.

[BegbieAV]

Trust me we are down !
