The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

[Toronto Villa]

I reckon Leicester will do them next week also. They are in a world of trouble.

Way I see it we need 4 points and they will come from West Ham and an already relegated Burnley at home. I think Everton next week will be a draw aswell and we'll finish 37 points this season.

The other results today were disappointing but if we can get 4-5 more points this season than I don't see Sunderland picking up another 6-7 points with what they have left.

[IFWaters]

Two wins and 38 points would mean that ....

Burnley have to win all 4 ..... v v unlikely to be level with us
QPR have to win all 4 to finish ahead of us, only 10 points from 12 and they would be below us

So I think that definitely means we would be above those 2 ....

And would mean that Sunderland would need 8 points from 15 against Southampton (h), Everton (a), Leicester (h) , Arsenal (a) & Chelsea (a) .... and with their goalscoring record - 4 in the last 6 games, I think thats really unlikely.

There it is then, all boiled down, TWO WINS

I'd just worry about Sunderland now, all the other teams seem to get a win just when they're in major trouble by playing Palace.

Sunderland have Leicester and Southampton at home and Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea away.

To me there's massive pressure on them to win their two home games which judging by them losing 4-0 to us and 4-1 to Palace I don't think they're capable of.

And bare in mind as it stands now they need to gain 3 more points than us to finish above us, if we win next week they'll need 6 more points this season and so on.

Burnley and QPR are already down for me, Sunderland will be the third one.

Leicester are on their best top flight run since 1966.
That really has put the cat amongst the pigeons and kept us involved.

I agree, I think the following will pick up like this WBA -1, avfc- 3, s'land-2, hull-3, qpr-3, burnley-4, Leicester-7 and Newcastle -4..... Table therefore will be ;

Newcastle- 39
Leicester- 38
WBA - 38
Hull - 35
Avfc - 35
Sunderland - 32
Burnley - 30
Qpr - 30

I'd fancy four points from next two games and safety post West Ham.

1.1 points per game in prem under sherwood. I'd be surprised if we win next two given our home form. 4 points would be great and we'll prob beat Southampton as we seem better away

You reckon we're going to lose (not just fail to beat, but lose) to three of Everton, Southampton, West Ham and Burnley?

Wow.

Wow.

Or he may think we'll lose 1 and draw 3.

[silhillvilla]

We really need villa park rocking next Saturday. We just can't afford another flat performance and atmosphere similar to the Swansea home game.

Also true.

Totally agree. Beat Everton and we'll probably finish with over 40 points. Lose and we'll prob get 35/36 which will be touch and go. It's sad that we're heading for lowest points total after our recent performances
