Webbo Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 50/50. Ask me again after Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovril Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 Still so tight. I reckon we'll now finish above QPR and Burnley but I still think Hull and S'land have a couple of surprise results up their sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilo Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 Quite good now. Avoid defeat at Burnley, something that would put us on 29 points, and we'd have five games to pick up five-six points for safety. Win it and we may only need one win from five to confirm safety. Looking at the run-ins of the clubs around us, I'd be surprised to see anybody needing more than about 35 points for safety. Of those five games, you'd only really write us off against Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom27111 Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 I voted 'pretty slim' last week, now I'm 50/50. The Burnley game is key. We need a minimum of 2 points from Burnley and Sunderland, in my opinion. I think we'll beat Newcastle and QPR, so as long as we don't lose both of the Burnley and Sunderland games, I think we'll have enough. I'd rather take 2 draws than a win and a loss. Sounds stupid because we'll have less points, but we can't afford either of them to gain all 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riyad_Suarez Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 I voted quite good in the initial poll just because we'be arguably the most favourable/helpful fixture list out of the bottom 5. I've stuck with 'quite good' as I don't want to get carried away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 I voted near to 100%, but only because there isn't a 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristianity77 Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 I think its slightly better than 50/50 now. We probably only need 2 wins from the last 6 to be safe I reckon. 2 wins and a draw I think would do it, with our goal difference as well would likely need multiple sides on 36 to send us down. I cant see enough teams being able to do that from the ones around us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see enough teams being able to do that from the ones around us. That's assuming the teams above us get less than that. There is this mythical 'points total' that we seem to be aiming for. We need to get more points than Sunderland and Hull in the last 6 games. That's nowhere near a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renart Posted 18 April 2015 Author Share Posted 18 April 2015 I voted near to 100%, but only because there isn't a 100%. The day that it is 100% then I don't think that it will be necessary for me to run a poll. I love your optimism - genuinely. Btw, I am heading to that rib place I recommended to you next weekend - I am salivating at the thought of it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I am heading to that rib place I recommended to you next weekend - I am salivating at the thought of it already. It'll always be necessary - some people wouldn't vote 100% even if we were mathematically safe. Great shout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Legged Beaver Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 I'd say we have a decent chance. The main thing is that it is all in our hands, which it didn't look like it would be a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 Quite good - it's entirely in our hands, we win vs sunderland and match everyone elses results the rest of the time and we're safe. As it is, I don't think more than 35 will be needed with Hull and Sunderlands run-ins, two more wins and a draw (preferably one of the wins against Sunderland) and we're safe I reckon.

Haydos Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 50/50. Ask me again after Burnley. This. 3 points on the board today but the big ones are against Burnley, Sunderland and QPR. Lose to those 3 and we're under it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesbrothers Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 West Brom killed my theory today, they're safe, so I won't count any chickens. Nonetheless, we should be confident now if ever. Have to avoid defeat at Burnley and we're in a great position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry - LCFC Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 I think we're the best placed out of the bottom five. I'd say we're a few percentage points above fifty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
