Points

[Brainy]

How many points are needed to save us from going down?

none were not going down!

[step]

No team has ever been relegated with more that 53 points so we need 54 to be safe, anything less and the chances of relegation increase

[Leonisco]

I think 50 should do it, Southend are currently on 39 with 7 games left, I doubt they'll get more than 11 points from those games.

I don't see why people are still worried though, yes there's still a chance but I reckon we're pretty safe.

[lcfc_jme]

I've gone for 50. Hopefully we can achieve that. We should achieve that. I wonder if 4 points from our remaining games is overly-ambitious for Kelly though?

I'd re-phrase that question accordingly:

How much of Milan's money is going to be spent on referees in the last games of the season?

[dandannieldanok]

52

[Flexx]

60+

[Leonisco]

60+

Bit high isn't it?

Basically you're saying that Southend will get 21 points from their last 7 games i.e. they're gonna win them all.

[DB11]

I think we would stay up we got no more points from the rest of our games...

I'd agree with that. A win and a hard earned point .

[lcfc_jme]

I'd agree with that. A win and a hard earned point .

Where are we going to pick the win up from though? I bet it'll be against a team that are doing well this season, such as Birmingham, but then we'll go and get spanked by every other team we've left to play in more spineless performances than even we're used to do. Typical.

[Guest Gist]

I think 50 points will secure safety the way things are going.

[Daggers]

Points make prizes

[Simon]

I think we SHOULD be safe now but I reckon 51 points should be enough- Even five points from seven games should be easily within our grasp?

[Thracian]

We might not need any because a point a game can sometimes salvage safety on goal difference but my guess is 50 should be sufficient.

Whether we'll get em is another matter.

With so many teams on a par with each other, the need to win and team spirit becomes important.

I'm not sure having a manager 90% of fans seem to want out, so many players the fans want to see leave and a big group of loanees pushing long serving City people out of the side is going to be condusive to die-for-the-shirt team spirit.

Whether being a long shot for relegation will instill enough urgency in the team is another question and whether our team is now good enough anyway, now others have improved and we seem to have gone backwards, raises yet another doubt.

We'll either cling on gratefully or get what we deserve for a season in which our standards have been way, way below those that should be expected of a Leicester City team.

4 points is all we'll get from our remainding games -- 3 against Norwich at home and 1 away at Barnsley. Thats it.

[Ultra]

McAuley will be back next week. We've missed him badly while he's been out.

So we should be able to scrape a couple more points in the last seven games.

Barnsley, Southend, Leeds, Luton and Burnley won't do enough to catch us.

Which means we're virtually safe already!

[Bert]

I agree Ultra. We won't not get at least 2 points in our next 7 games.

[C-man]

I think we need 52.

After today it is completely out of the question.

[holly]

anything over 50, however this could be asking alot judging by the past few performances

[MC Prussian]

One more than the team placed 22nd, because staying up on goal difference only is for sissies.
