Number 6 Posted 18 April 2023 Share Posted 18 April 2023 Projected line for safety at the moment is 34, but that model seemed to have Southampton on 30 which seems generous. 33-35 would put us there or thereabouts I think. 35 is probably a reasonable target and has a decent chance of keeping us up.

The Bear Posted 18 April 2023 Share Posted 18 April 2023 The standard is so bad terrible and inconsistent at the bottom you don't need to win x amount of games. You just need one more win (or 3 more points) than the rest of them. Personally I think you can do that given everyone's fixtures left. I'm sure you'll get enough of a reaction to a new manager to get that. Just not against us please 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
String fellow Posted 18 April 2023 Share Posted 18 April 2023 Apart from the final-day fixtures which all kick off at the same time, I do often wonder if prior knowledge of all one's rivals' results helps at all. If it does, then maybe the penultimate round of fixtures should also all kick off at the same time, especially when the struggle for survival is so incredibly tight. Regarding City's best hope of survival, surely it'll be that they just require 3 other clubs to 'fluff their lines' more than we do in the coming weeks. As regards talking about being 2 or 3 points from safety - what does that really mean when there are still 7 matches to play? Even the clubs immediately above the line are in great danger!

kristianity77 Posted 18 April 2023 Share Posted 18 April 2023 From this point I'd happily take needing a win on the final day to stay up. Would make for a thrilling end . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had situations where we had everything to gain, and fell apart attempting to make it work. Let's get this done, we need to get the positivity in a run of games and we do not have to rely on the last game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidsworth Posted 18 April 2023 Share Posted 18 April 2023 Only scenario I see 34 pts being enough is if we beat those around us .. any sort of form from our competitors makes it very unlikely 34 will be enough, especially if some of those points are taken from us. Absolute must win against Leeds and Everton, then who knows. Will be great if that's on the back of a win against wolves, don't think we can get any further behind those above us tbh, so wolves hugely important in that respect.

Dan LCFC Posted 18 April 2023 Share Posted 18 April 2023 If you trust the bookies odds this was actually not a bad weekend for us despite losing, simply as we lost a game we were always going to. We went into the weekend 4/6 to be relegated and have come out of it 5/6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams tend to either pick up at the bottom or crash out. Rarely is there a middle way. Yet we've left ourselves in a situation where we have to hope / plan for forest and Everton getting 2 wins and 2 draws and as such, 35 points. Leeds to pick up 1 win and 3 draws, so 36 points. I happen to think West Ham are total Garbage..let's hope they only get a win and 2 draws. Leaves - as a minimum - 3 wins and 2 draws 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 18 April 2023 Share Posted 18 April 2023 I think within the game there's a respect for our quality but so many questions about the attitude. A win under a new manager, hopefully with a strong performance, and I reckon things will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 18 April 2023 Share Posted 18 April 2023 We're all over the place at the minute, No midfield, teams getting at our defense to easily. And struggling to score goals up top. Not exactly what we need going into must win games. We need Youri and Mads back to their best. The Defence to be strong and the forwards to be brave and better than they have been. Not much to ask for with just 8 games. That first win is so important and crucial to confidence and belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
