queensguardfox Posted 5 April 2015 Author Posted 5 April 2015 Sorry, forgot... We're f u c k e d!! More like it good effort!
weller54 Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 Toon look poor Excellent.. We've got them to play!!!
Nalis Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 Latest predictor I've done (assuming a Sunderland win) is us on 33pts in 17th ahead of Hull (32pts) , Burnley (32pts) and QPR (30pts). Sunderland on 36pts.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 We'd better beat Newcastle as well judging on that show
Leicesterpool Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 Thanks for nothing Newcastle!!!! Newcastle looked really poor, since Pardew left there you could say there performances have been relegation form.
fuchsntf Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 If city can end with any decent run, achieving 35-37 pts, then,only then can we hope that if our survival competitors, run-ins stay as difficult as they are looking at present. Then it could look like this:- Palace, Villa, even Newcastle will ride it out, 15-17...WBA,LCFC,Burnley doggingly holding on, with between 35-38pts. 18........Hull...............33-35pts 19........QPR..............33-35pts 20........Sunderland. 32-34pts lets face it,.... its sort of wow, but why not, fans job is to belief the impossible. Obviously, any of the othe teams picking up 2 suprising or non expected 3 pointers, outside the couple one would expect, Then we are down. City's remaining 8, where I believe city fans hope we produce the points, WBA............1pt Swansea.....3pt Burnley........3pt Chelsea.......0pt Newcastle...3pt Soton...........1pt Sundlnd.......1-3pt QPR..............3pt.
GingerrrFox Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 I still think Hull and Sunderland will go down with the games they've got left.
Bristol fox .... Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 New manager syndrome has departed the villa, me thinks they could be the biggy to go?
daddylonglegs Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 New manager syndrome has departed the villa, me thinks they could be the biggy to go? Correct. United obviously a difficult game but Sherwood is a phoney and is about to be found out. Think one of Hull, Sunderland and Villa will go down and 2 of the promoted sides. I actually think the worst 3 teams in the league this year have been Hull, Sunderland and Villa. What do they offer the league? So boring. Overall I would say that although we've gone full retard defensively a lot, we've had a go. Burnley the same. QPR have also done OK this year, and I'd rather the stay up than the other 3.
KFS Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 We needed 2 clear wins on our rivals anyway. Today isn't too bad given next week's games. We need performances like yesterday from now on though. Keep us in it come QPR and I'd back us to do it.
Salieri Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 Correct. United obviously a difficult game but Sherwood is a phoney and is about to be found out. Think one of Hull, Sunderland and Villa will go down and 2 of the promoted sides. I actually think the worst 3 teams in the league this year have been Hull, Sunderland and Villa. What do they offer the league? So boring. Overall I would say that although we've gone full retard defensively a lot, we've had a go. Burnley the same. QPR have also done OK this year, and I'd rather the stay up than the other 3. Defo agree with this, hard to say which but at least one will plummet. We just have to make sure we are the one out of the current bottom three that takes advantage and given the run in(s) we have, we've got a decent shout.
Stevosevic Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 I've had a review of the fixtures and I can't see it happening. Every win we've had has been a real struggle, I just can't see us getting 4 in 8 games.
iancognito Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 With Sunderland getting Advocaat in and Hull having the hardest run-in I've always thought they were the ones to aim to catch. It's still do-able but the games are running out.
Aus Fox Posted 6 April 2015 Posted 6 April 2015 Win against Sunderland, QPR, Burnley and Newcastle and. QPR will need 10 points from 6 games, Burnley 9 from 6 and hull 6 from 7 to catch us. That's if we lose against WBA, chelsea, Southampton and Swansea. Not easy, but not impossible to win those 4 and make it very difficult for those around us.
shailen Posted 6 April 2015 Posted 6 April 2015 Results will go for and against us anyway. We have to focus on our fixtures. we do have a game in hand, yeah I know it's Chelsea but if we could get a point, or even 3 it will bring us right back into the mix. Make no mistake this is going to the wire, but we have to make sure we put ourselves back with the pack sooner rather than later. 35 points may be the magic total this year
HighPeakFox Posted 6 April 2015 Posted 6 April 2015 I'm getting a headache trying to work out what our rivals will do. For me, it's about the players - if they think they can win games, then they will win games, and all will be well. For so much of this season I don't think that belief has been there (I was worried after the miracle 5-3 as it was just so unreal), but I get a sense that something may have clicked. Yes I'm an optimist, can think of worse things to be
Sunbury Fox Posted 6 April 2015 Posted 6 April 2015 Have to say that that win for Sunderland feels like a big blow after we finally got a win ourselves. I'm sure the players will feel the same. Gaining 7 points on Sunderland in only 8 games is a v big ask, even with a game in hand and a game to play against them. That said, for me Hull remain the team we're most likely to catch out of those outside the drop zone. Everytime you look at their run in, it makes you wince. The problem is they are still 6 points ahead with a much better goal difference....
queensguardfox Posted 6 April 2015 Author Posted 6 April 2015 for NP to get 7 points from the next 3 games would surely put him in run in for manager of the month aswell.
ian_marshall Posted 6 April 2015 Posted 6 April 2015 Just seen Vargas is out for 10-12 weeks for QPR ending his season. Good news in my opinion as he has looked lively in his recent games for them.
st albans fox Posted 6 April 2015 Posted 6 April 2015 for NP to get 7 points from the next 3 games would surely put him in run in for manager of the month aswell. an 86th minute winner takes us from first win in three months to 'Pearson wins mom award'. Only on FT!
