How many points will keep us up?

[SoccerHQ]

Could be as low as 32 points needed to stay up

I dont think so- there will be some shock results along the way - i would hope for 38 at least to be safe.

Yeah but don't forget the teams down there will all be playing each other aswell....Reading v QPR, QPR V Southampton, Wigan v Norwich etc.

I don't see it this year, the divide between the top 5-6 and the rest of the league is too big right now, which means every position outside that is low on points.  34-35 will be enough to keep someone up, I'm fairly certain of it.

We dont want to start lowering our sights - lets aim for at least 38 and if it turns out less all well and good.
If you offered me 35 points at the end of the season i wouldnt take it - i would like a bit more.

35 would do us. That said,  I don't think we will get 30

If we got 35 that means reading would need 12 points from 12 games to send us down- i think we need more .
The fact that reading have taken 10 points from their last 5 games including todays result suggests asking them to get 12 from 12 is not that big an ask.

It would also mean newcastle and saints would need 8 points from 12 games to finish above us - no i do not think 35 will be enough at all.

Reading's final 6 away fixture are Man. United, Arsenal, Everton, Fulham, Norwich and West Ham. Can't see them getting many points there. If they get points at Fulham and Norwich that will send both of those teams in the shit.

It would obviously be advisable for us not to lose at their madjeski as they'll see that as one of their winnable remaining games.

We'll get 37 points and stay up. Put your house on it*

I will tell you now. Not a prayer of either.

Looking at the fixtures I think we get 38 points min.  More likely 41. 

This all depends on a home boosting win tomorrow.

I think Reading have had a lot of luck lately, and we have had none. These things have a habit of evening out over the season, and I think Reading may have had all theirs in the last few games. I thin we may have 2 or 3 scabby last minute wins in us yet.

Live in hope!!!!

Just been round to Tony Saprono and he said he knows your address.

I actually think we will go on an unbeaten run which started at everton and will continue for quite a while. No I'm not joking

I do too.

[junxs]

You two have checked who we are playing in the 2 fixtures after WHU right?

[LeeB]

I don't like all this shit.

Take it one game at a time, you could drive yourself mad thinking of permutations and you'll never get it right.
