Points target for the next 11 games ?

[LCCFox96]

At the moment we are on 6 points and twice we have pushed a bigger side than ourselves very close, so we are arguably unlucky not to be on at least 8 points out of 12 points in that respect. 

 

I'd be looking to win those home games try to knick as many points as possible on the road. It is conceivable we could 25+ points but I'd be pretty pleased with 20 odd points.

[Guest]

40 points.

 

[coolhandfox]

I would like 20 points from that, however think 15-18 points more likely! 

 

Anything above 1.5 points a game is good, even thing above 1.8 points is very good.

Bournemouth ( A ) - We never do well against these. They come back from 0-2, scoring twice during added on time to win. Foxestalk performs it's annual "Maybe Eddie Howe would be a good manager for us" routine.  Lose 3-2.

 

Huddersfield ( H ) - The "Ben Hamer derby" sees two own goals scored by Wes Morgan after Amartey is sent off. Bloodcurdling screams are emitted from Foxestalk. Lose 0-2.

 

Newcastle ( A ) - They shithouse a last minute before half-time winner, which slides in off Ayoze Perez's hair.  Lose 1-0.

 

Everton ( H ) - Their moneybags signings come good. Lose 1-2.

 

Arsenal ( A ) - Özil rediscovers his mojo and Arsenal's season is kick-started.  Lose 2-0.

 

West Ham ( H ) - They're awful, they have no cohesion. They are getting relegated, so naturally they turn it around against us. Lose 1-3.

 

Cardiff ( A ) -   Warnock's anti-football sees them play for another 0-0, then they are awarded a very dodgy late penalty by that nice Mr Moss. Lose 1-0.

 

Burnley ( H ) - Our team with only 3 tall players meets Burnley's no nonsense 

 giants and the ball hardly touches the ground as we concede 3 goals from corners. Dyche mentions transfer budgets in his gloating post match interview.  Lose 1-3.

 

Brighton ( A ) - A Knockaert brace, as our 4-6-0 formation flops. Lose 2-0.

 

Watford ( H ) - Watford, by now 3 points clear at the top, squeak a victory, like we did to them when we were pushing for the league. Lose 0-1.

 

Fulham ( A ) - Schürrle the dagger and Mitrovic the bludgeon show [and here, at last, comes the point of this post] that THERE REALLY ARE NO EASY GAMES AT THIS LEVEL. Lose 2-0.

 

  Everything on that list is plausible ... except Özil rediscovering his mojo ...

[gurru991]

Thirty-Three 

[lcfc sheff]

anything above 6 wins would be ideal

[The Doctor]

I'd hope for a 20-25 point return from that. Ideally some coming from Everton and Arsenal, from what I've seen so far this season I think the three of us are battling for 6th

[420Hashish]

Beat them all. Those teams are shit. 33 points or no deal. Take it or leave it.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

It's very important that we get maximum points from at least two thirds of them, if we wish to finish high enough to have a chance of playing in Europe next season.

[Royston.]

Just done the math and its 14 points

[Devonfox1884]

Bournemouth ( A ) = 1-1 Draw

Huddersfield ( H ) = 2-0 Win

Newcastle ( A ) = 1-0 Loss

Everton ( H ) = 2-2 Draw

Arsenal ( A ) = 2-1 Win

West Ham ( H ) = 3-0 Win

Cardiff ( A ) = 1-1 Draw

Burnley ( H ) = 3-1 Win

Brighton ( A ) = 2-1 Loss

Watford ( H ) = 1-1 Draw

Fulham ( A ) = 3-2 Win

 

19 points then

So, zero points,then.

 

Or maybe 33 points.

 

Looking forward to finding out.

 

One of my fave ever posts. Funny and daft but with an important message. Cannot believe people are talking about us walking all over teams just because it's not the top 4, no games in this league are easy at all.

17 points. 

[Fox42]

Seven wins from our next nine.

 

[Tielemans63]

We had an easy run of fixtures last season which was going to secure us our Europa League spot if you remember.

 

 

Leicester fans should know better than anybody that you can't predict anything in football.

[Jattdogg]

21 points

[the fox]

I would say the soft spot is 20 points. We will drop some imo but 26 points from 15 games ain't half bad. It leaves us with 21 games. Worst case scenario is hitting 46 points by the end of the season, and the best (imo) is somewhere in the 60's (which would be great and and a very possible European spot) 

 

But if we run the table on this 11 game scenario, we could be looking at 39 points with 21 games in hand. 

[jonthefox]

I think all the home games are winnable, even Watford, who’ll stumble eventually. Our away form will determine what kind of season we have.

Win your home games, draw your aways

I actually rather think it is our home form that will determine what kind of season we have...

It was pointed out by a podcast that you’d think teams in Leicester’s position would go all out for winning their 13 home games against the rest outside of the top six. 

 

Thats 39 points - you are then only about another ten to fifteen points onto finishing 7th or 8th

What a horror show. I think I've got selective amnesia because i didn't remember that 5-0 drubbing by Palace, until now. Just goes to show how shit we play against average teams. Was expecting 20pts but looking at those results, we'll get around 12-14pts.

[RowlattsFox]

I predict we will have some good wins, some frustrating draws and disappointing defeats. Its the nature of the Premier League for teams like us.

 

This run of games will show whether Puel has solved last years problems, particularly at home.  I think we've improved generally but lack of creativity is still going to be a problem.
