How many points will keep us up?

The most worrying thing is that the original predicitions for the results are bang on at the moment.

Don't worry, I have only got the Everton game wrong so far and I have us down for 40 plus points.

And the original post had us getting 1 point from the final 15 available which seems very pessimistic.

I suppose its very easy to say this after the fact.
The truth is when I made these predictions, even the most diehard villans amongst us must have been feeling pessimistic. I more than anyone hope that we achieve more than 1 point from our last 5 games.

4 points from Norwich and Sunderland and 4 from Stoke and Fulham would keep us up imo. I reckon we could lose the other 4 games and stay up.

I agree. 9 would be better though. I do want those 8-9 points before heading up to Wigan though!

9 from the next 3 should do it.

4-4-2's take on it.

the worrying thing about that is that we are one game away from being relegated, such being our inferior goal difference. I really hope that 8-0 drubbing by Chelsea doesn't define our season ..

These are the next four predictions.

Liverpool - draw
Stoke - Villa loss
Fulham - Villa win
Man Utd - Villa loss

Who would take them now if given the chance. I would be tempted.

I think we can and will get more than 4 points from these games 2 home wins , draw at stoke.

Well, they certainly melo-dramatise it, but if we can continue our recent cautious recovery profile they have probably got it about right for us. Sunday is a massive game for us. Take something from it and our fortunes look favourable; take a pounding or wimpish defeat and we're right back in it. Statement of the bleedin' obvious I know, but ....

I agree. I have gone through it and it is a pretty plausible outcome. And probably a (pragmatic) dream outcome from top to bottom for most of us.

If by some wonder we can win this weekend I think we will do it fairly comfortably. Lose and it will be touch and go till Wigan in a straight shootout. Which I would back us to win still.

I've noticed this week that there have been one or two digs at us regarding having the cheek to play a guy who scores goals in Benteke. It's all pretty snidey - e.g. goals by Christian Benteke (again) or the crap gallery on the Guardian site - but now we're in a bit of form it's almost as if we've got to be criticised for not doing it in exactly the right way.

Why's it any different to Fletcher and Sunderland or Wigan and Arouna Kone?
