12 points  and a happy FoxesTalk 

That’s more optimistic than getting 12 points including Arsenal away 

[Dr The Singh]

Lose the next 4, Coops fate is probably sealed.

Takes me back to those Claude Puel days

Let’s face it whoever loses the Everton game is getting sacked 

[Dan LCFC]

We can't just draw our way out of this.

 

Arsenal we will lose without any shadow of a doubt.

 

From Palace, Everton and Bournemouth I want a minimum of 5.

 

You just know we'll draw with Everton.

Surely need 9/10 points from that lot minimum? Ideally want 11/12.

This is exactly what I fear it'll be. If we're on 2 points from 7 I think Cooper's got to go.

 

Although it's double the tally we had last time after 7 games and the manager survived that.

Probably all wrong 

I'd say the same 4 points

If so, he's gotta go! Zero inkling he'll win us any points all season if we can't pick up some in our next 4!

[RowlattsFox]

If we are being realistic we need to be looking at 4 points as minimum. Need to beat one Everton or Bournemouth at home at least. Potential for 7, maybe even 9 if we play well.

He already has. In fact if there’s something you want to put any hope in Kristansen, it’s the brilliant performance he had v Arsenal and Saka on the last occasion he played them. 

Lets hope you are right and he can stop him playing, Otherwise it's going to be a long afternoon.

Be a long afternoon regardless - they are incredibly effective on set pieces and have danger all over the pitch.

Minimum 4 points else its already over

We need a minimum of 9 points from those.  

 

We could do with being unbeaten against the likes of Everton, Forest, Southampton, and Ipswich.

12 points if we are going to stay up comfortably this season.

1 point from Everton. Cooper sacked. 

 

Big Sam in.

 

Melt down

Yep. We'd be 10 games in and still have to play Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea and even the likes of Newcastle, Brighton and West Ham in those remaining 9 games (for that half of the season). 13 points after 10 games is good isolation but not so much when it's going to be a slog to get to a point a game in the other set of fixtures.

Comfortably beaten against Palace with the scoreline not showing it (I think it'll be another 2-1 defeat).

 

Really scrappy win against Everton. A bit like the 2-1 against West Ham in the Great Escape season.

 

Another comfortable defeat that won't look so bad to the neutral against Arsenal. A 2-0 with us registering something like 0.03 xG.

 

A statement win against Bournemouth. Real masterclass from El Khannouss. Mavididi to score. Something like 3-0.

 

Borefest at Southampton. 0-0.

 

Forest to be a barnstorming 2-2. First game on MOTD. Late, late equaliser from Edouard.

 

Ipswich to be a narrow defeat in a game that could have gone either way. 

 

 

8 points from these to leave us on 9 from 10. Probably about 15th.

Massive run of games. Take away Arsenal, then they are all beatable if we turn up on the day.

 

It would be nice to think the recent news of our win over the league Re the points deduction will be a massive weight lifted off our shoulders.

 

We need to beat Everton - Absolutely no two ways about it.

 

Palace away will be tough, but more than winnable.

Yeah, but I think the reason the OP specifically chose the next 4 is because there's another break after those 4, so do the next 4 results determine Cooper going/staying given the run after the 2 week break before playing some massive games.  If the next 4 are a shit show it makes sense to cut ties with a 2 week break where a new guy can at least have some time before he's going to have to battle through those potential 6 pointers.  So the next 4 should be crucial to Cooper at least.

[Gevans_97]

I think people are underestimating Palace, they were one of the best teams at the back end of last season and didn’t have a lot of their usual XI for pre-season/start of the season. 

 

I think they will come back firing after the international break. 

Bournemouth too is a tricky game. The 11th-15th section of the Prem has dramatically got better over the last year or so, realistically we need to focus on beating the 4/5 others at the very bottom and then trying to pick up some shock results elsewhere.

that being said, we need minimum 4 points here. Not having a win after 7 games would be incredible demoralising for everyone.

[Gazza M]

We need to keep ticking along at a point per game for me as we progress. So really expect us to take 6 from next 4. (The home matches most likely.) 

[Corky]

Thumped by Arsenal, comfortable loss at Crystal Palace (2-0 or similar) and two home draws.
