Between now and January

[RowlattsFox]

Obviously January is going to be massive regardless of whether Pearson is in charge or not. How far adrift are we going to be? Let's take a look at the fixtures of those around us.

Us:

Man city (h), West Ham (a), Spurs (h)

Hull (a), Liverpool (a)

Burnley:

Soton (h), Spurs (a), Liverpool (h)

Man city (a), Newcastle (a)

Hull:

Chelsea (a), Swansea (h), Sunderland (a) Leicester (h), Everton (h)

QPR:

Everton (a), west brom (h), arsenal (a), palace (h), Swansea (h)

Palace:

Stoke (h), man city (a), soton (h), qpr (a), villa (a)

West brom:

Villa (h), qpr (a), man city (h), Stoke (a), West Ham (a)

Even at my most optimistic I can see us getting no more than 2 points.

[LCFC Rennie]

2 points at most for us I think.

[Focks]

nil pwa

[theessexfox]

Burnley don't have it easy either jeez.

[whoareyaaa]

I think we will get 7 points from this lot somehow.

[Carl the Llama]

Fortunately I can't see the others pulling far enough away for us to be a lost cause in January.

[LCFC Rennie]

I think we will get 7 points from this lot somehow.

You really are on Cloud 9.

[Raj]

...spurs and hull our only chance of points...2 at best!

[ScouseFox]

qpr could be a long, long way clear of us and burnley come then. they could easily win their 3 home games whilst i can't see burnley or us getting a win between us. 

[Fox92]

Need to beat Hull because I can't see us picking up anything from the other games.

[lgfualol]

Lose Lose Lose Lose Lose 

[kristianity77]

3 points for us out of that lot I think.  And I reckon we will be 6 or 7 points from safety come the start of Jan.

[AKCJ]

I look at all of those fixtures, not just our own, and wince.

 

It's a ****ing tough league.

[Guest ttfn]

The key for us is getting into that home stretch of fixtures with a fighting chance. We've got an absolutely fantastic run-in for our last 8 fixtures, 5 of which are at home. If we can get to 25 points by then, I think we've got a chance.

 

But to do that we'd need 15 points from the next 15 games, including games against Man City (twice), Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Spurs (twice), Arsenal and Everton.

Have we, from Albion onwards our form against these sides has been...

LLDLLDL.

[Dan]

Write-off. We'll get a point against Spurs and lose the others.

[Phube]

I'm hoping for some serious reverse psychology here.

Our first 5 games were a shocker. We got 5 points.

Next 8/10 games were 'winnable' We get 5 points.

Fingers crossed.

Hate to break this to you but we got 8 points from the first 5...

Proves my point even more!

[ealingfox]

With West Ham's big man up top, crosses and set pieces style of football i could genuinely see us losing by 5 or 6 goals there.

[Harry - LCFC]

If we just hold our position until January I'd be quite satisfied with that.

[Cropwellfox]

Little doubt after today and the next two fixtures that we will be bottom of the table at Xmas and odds against staying up be come extremely slim. Real shame but we will go into January pretty much nailed on to go down

[Webbo]

Bottom?

[Tuna]

WOuld be nice if we played a team who had a mare against us. Own goals, sending offs etc etc.

[Eddy Kellys Heroes]

What bottom?
