The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

[IFWaters]

If you look at the form, in the last 6 matches :

Villa 10 points
Leicester 8 points
West Brom 6 points
QPR 4 points
Burnley 4 points
Sunderland 4 points
Newcastle 3 points
Hull 2 points

I think Burnley will do better than that, but I see Hull and Sunderland being in the ****e now and one of the existing bottom 3 not getting to 34 points. I think 34 / 35 points will be enough to stay up.

I would say another 4 points and we will be there, but obviously until we get 40 no-one is really going to relax. I think 40 points should be our target from those remaining games. Its never acceptable for Aston Villa to get less than that.

Unfortunately both Tescos and the Geordies have done enough to save their skins this season already.

Hull
Sunderland
QPR or Burnley

The ones to drop for me.

[silhillvilla]

I'd quite like Burnley to stay up, whereas QPR can do one.

I'm never one to set a points target for us to get to. Until we're mathematically safe, or all but, I won't be able to relax.

[Des Little]

Anyone but us. And the quicker the better.

[Astral Weeks]

Leicester could stay up yet

How has it worked out that Leicester have five of their last seven at home?

Their home game against Chelsea scheduled for February was postponed

I still think the foxes are doomed. Hull have a terrible set of fixtures for the run in and the black cats are imploding. Despite Burnley working really hard, they struggle for goals.

[Clampy]

Leicester's run in is not too bad. I reckon it might be QPR, Sunderland and Hull.

[curiousorange]

Out of all of the teams I watched yesterday, Burnley are by far the most impressive. It doesn't say a lot considering they lost, but if they could score more their game against us could be a stroll in the park. As it is, they'll probably be down by then.

I did a predictor yesterday and had QPR, Hull and Sunderland going down. I had Leicester staying up on just 33 points. As someone pointed out yesterday, there are a few games between the bottom six which will suit us whatever happens.

So that's four teams going down, not including the bookie's 1-5 favourite, QPR.

A few games between the bottom 5 and provided QPR lose today the bottom 3 need to win at least 2 of their final 5/6 to even get to our current total.

[pauliewalnuts]

Leicester, Burnley and - to a degree - QPR are showing spirit and fight.

Sunderland look totally devoid of it.

It will probably be the 3 that are there now otherwise i think Sunderland are the ones who really wish this season could end now.
