This is the season...

[Witton Warrior]

To think, Bournemouth have achieved something we've failed to do in 20 years - beating Man Utd in the league at home! And it's their first season in the top flight.

It's a bit like all the relegation talk that has seeped in over the past few years, climaxing with people now throwing in the towel with five months of the season still to play.  From just having a complex about one club we now seem to have a complex about every club.  Belief is the missing ingredient.

Fickle ay we...

[QuintonVilla]

Next 10 games for me are make or break time ... if we can't get 4 wins and at least 15 points from this lot and get to 21 points with 13 games to go then we are well and truly down ...

home to Arsenal (3rd)
away to Newcastle (18th)
home to West Ham (8th)
away to Norwich (17th)
away to Sunderland (19th)
home to Palace (6th)
home to Leicester (2nd)
away to Baggies (13th)
away to West Ham (8th)
home to Norwich (17th)

the games after that are much tougher but we will need to have rediscovered how to win to have any chance by then. At least the first 4 games are with the current squad.

We surely will win one or a couple of those, just for the fact we're due a win. However I honestly can't see who we're going to beat, I'm not looking at any of those thinking "we'll win that one".

Can't see more than 8 pts there. The only thing I cling to is that this time last season Leicester City were in fuck street.

Leicester were playing decent football and not losing by more than a goal though...

In response to Witton Warrior - not "fickle",  we're simply lacking in belief.

Under normal circumstances I would say 10 points from that list is not a crazy ask.

The problem is we are now at the stage where 10 points will not be enough. I think we need 15....

So even after a nine-match unbeaten run, we'd be on 21pts after 25 played.
It's starting to look like a bit of a tall order.
But add on a win tomorrow, puts us nigh-on a point per game, we're not done yet.

[ChicagoLion]

Look how many must win games in that lot,I can't see us winning many of them.
We have won once all season and we now need to win 5 out of the next 10.
It is not going to happen.

You're right it might
& every club around us might gain another 40 points this season too.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

we have taken 34 points from 49 games and all of a sudden we are going to start winning every other game?

based on what exactly?

if on 1st jan we are on 12 points we need 26 points from 18 games so pretty much 9 wins. can anyone realistically see this happening?

i thiink leicester were on 13 or 14 points after 19 games so we need to take at least 7 from the next 4

I actually thought Leicester were unlucky to be there and were actually playing some good football.  So much different to us .
