12 games to win (6 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

To hit the 50 point mark, I’m struggling to even get to 12 wins from what we’re serving up and I doubt we even win all of these. Anyway:

Plymouth H and A
Pompey H and A
QPR H
Luton A
Stoke H
Oxford A
PNE H
Hull H
Cardiff H
Millwall H

Then try and scrabble some draws from all the others. For a side that gets 0 points from Derby, Swansea and Sheff W, is it possible?

Survival

Survival

Ah right , this thread is not something worthy of my time then

You don’t think we’re in a battle to stay up yet, which is fair enough. I do so where we get the points from is a valid question

We will not be struggling to survive

How many teams lose the majority of their home games and aren’t in trouble? 4 home loses in 7 games is pathetic.

We still have 16 home matches

We won't be relegated

 

[Matt smith]

Well probably actually get the points against better teams

be tough to get the points required though granted

Perhaps not, but its difficult to see where the points come from based in what we've seen so far. Our points per game so far would see us on 49 points - which would likely see us relegated.

How many points do you think we will end up on, roughly?

Depends which Coventry bother to turn up at this point

It's not at all difficult is it .

We've just take 7 points from our last 4 games

Sunderland
Sheffield united
Burnley

feasible we’ll be the bottom 3 after 17 games

 

[pusbccfc]

I don't think we'll be in a relegation battle but I maintain we could quite easily get dragged into it.

We are very fragile.

The reality is it's highly unlikely we lose all 3

5th place Millwall and 7th place West Brom both away from home after Cardiff at home.

It's not going to be easy.

How many do you think we will end up on by the end of the season?

I'm not sure tbh , we have a transfer window in January aswell .

We will be fine

Didn’t realise Millwall were decent this season, will probably write off a result against them. Sorry, I think this team is in real trouble.

It’s embarrassing how poor we are when looking at how much we’ve spent

Honestly I'm really surprised that you 2 of all people are panicking

 

[Matt smith]

Panicking because I’m watching this team play pretty shite week in week out

losing to derby and Sheffield Wednesday at home

 

[Evo1883]

We've been pretty good last couple matches tbh

 

[pusbccfc]

We've been pretty good last couple matches tbh

We were awful away at a very poor QPR side.

We played well against a poor Luton side and benefitted from the late red card.

We beat a 10 man Boro side and at 1-0 we were hanging on.

I think we all got a little carried away by the last two.

No that’s fair completely agree

You can’t defend tonight

Luton aren't a poor side irrespective of position , we were very good before the sending off against boro and won 3-0 .. at no point were we hanging on

They are currently poor. Still below is in the table.

I didn't watch their game last night but they were supposedly pretty poor against Cardiff.

Not only feasible but extremely likely I would suggest.

It was highly unlikely we would lose to Derby and Sheffield Wednesday, at home,

 

[Matt smith]

Put it this way we’re in a relegation battle.

 

[skybluecam]

We played absolutely crap for long periods tonight but should still have won the game. As I've said elsewhere, the 11 that finished in the 433 would've pumped 3 or 4 past them. We're never getting relegated.

 

[djr8369]

I’m in two minds. Agree on paper we should be no where near relegation but we are constantly bullied by physical teams. Every team that presses us and kicks us about a bit we struggle with and every team in the league can implement that game plan.

Put it this way we’re in a relegation battle.
