v6rat Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 Whether Pearson stays or not, we need to probably win 9 or 10 matches to stay up. So lets have your predictions then where the wins are coming from. I got to 4 and gave up.
Matt Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 Can't see us winning anymore than 5 and I don't even know where they are gonna come from but it'll be 5 at the very best.

So lets have your predictions then where the wins are coming from. I got to 4 and gave up. I reckon 7 or 8 would be enough with a few draws thrown in. However, that means not losing more than 9 more matches - yeah, course! just a win this side of new year and 5 new faces in jan could sort it out. But then again, what about the tactics? (5 new faces - yeah, course!) I have a suspicion that we will invest quite heavily in jan but whether this will be enough to reverse the tide and give us a fighting chance remains to be seen.
Guest kristianity77 Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 I think its 8 wins we will need with a few draws thrown in. Take out 4 games for Man U, Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal and it means we are chasing 8 wins from 17 more games to stay up. Absolutely no chance. The Man Utd game was a 1 in a 100 game. We play that game again 99 times from 3-1 down with 30 to go and we lose. It was a total one off weird situation (albeit a good one). Even the Stoke game was a smash a grab where we didn't play well. No one could realistically complain if we were sat here with 0 wins this season. So the chances of winning 8 more, none.

Monsell1976 Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 Can't see us winning anymore than 5 and I don't even know where they are gonna come from but it'll be 5 at the very best.Very generous saying 5, but with you 5 at best
Babylon Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 Whether Pearson stays or not, we need to probably win 9 or 10 matches to stay up. I don't think we do at all, Sunderland and Hull have only won two games, Burnley and Palace three. We need to get a couple of wins more than them over the next part of the season and up the amount of draws we get to match theirs. So you could potentially stay up with 5 wins and an decent amount of draws.

Harry - LCFC Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 But 5 wins and a decent amount of draws means a low amount of losses, and we are losing every single week more or less. But often not by much. We need to improve but I think it's quite possible we'd have got a few more draws had we been playing only a little better in the last twelve.
LCFC FOX Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 QPR, Villa, Stoke, Palace, Hull, Newcastle, Southampton and even Spurs I'm confident we can win these, most probably not all of them but a lot of them. We are better at home and hopefully our luck will change. Burnley, Sunderland , Hull and West Brom away we could steal some points too. Then there is Arsenal, United, Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Everton and Spurs away. Well I expect us to lose all of these but maybe we'll pick a point or two against these lot.
MooseBreath Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 Season form so far suggests 34 points will be enough to stay up. That's 24 points required from 21 games. 8w 0d 13l 7w 3d 11l 6w 6d 9l 5w 9d 7l 4w 12d 5l 3w 15d 3l 2w 18d 1l Take your pick.
RizLCFC Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 When you look at it like that 'win 10 matches' I'd say it's impossible for us to achieve and survive, for me at the moment, we are as good as relegated. I can't see us winning 1 game let alone 10. It can all change I know, but I'm not holding my breath. We need to try and get at least a win from our next 3 fixtures. Lose to Hull and that is definitely that!
davieG Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 You can't judge it on what's happened so far. If we are to do it we'd need a complete change of fortune. I'm sure the Newcastle fans couldn't see where the next win was coming from before they played us and I doubt many of them foresaw their charge up the table. It can be done but will be difficult and no more or less likely with another manager or Pearson in charge We cant do much about other than stick with the team whoever is managing it and hope
Babylon Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 But 5 wins and a decent amount of draws means a low amount of losses, and we are losing every single week more or less. I know that, I'm just saying that saying we need 10 wins is just wrong. You could win a lot less than that.
Bettsj2 Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 Can see it being a record low amount of points to stay up. Some very bad teams this year.
Kitchandro Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 Why are we doing this to ourselves? No point analysing it, we're goners.
Harry - LCFC Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 Why are we doing this to ourselves? No point analysing it, we're goners. I'll buy your ST off you if you don't want it anymore...
Kitchandro Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 I'll buy your ST off you if you don't want it anymore... Tempting.
Raj Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 Win 10 games!!!? In THIS Premier League season???!! You nutter!!!
ScouseFox Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 if we win ten more premier league games in my lifetime i'll be amazed
Harry - LCFC Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 There's no way we're going to need ten wins to survive. Don't know why people are taking this suggestion seriously.
Babylon Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 I'll buy your ST off you if you don't want it anymore... I'll give you £50 to take mine. It will still save me 100's in drowning my sorrows money after the game
ScouseFox Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 There's no way we're going to need ten wins to survive. Don't know why people are taking this suggestion seriously. realistically we are going to need to pick up nearly 3 times as many points in the second half of the season as we have in the first.
Fox92 Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 We've got three massive chances with Hull, Villa and Stoke but I can't see us winning again if we set up like we have been recently with one striker up front. We won't beat Spurs, we won't beat Liverpool.
Harry - LCFC Posted 21 December 2014 Posted 21 December 2014 realistically we are going to need to pick up nearly 3 times as many points in the second half of the season as we have in the first. So we don't need ten wins then. Thank you. Picking up thirty points (not that we're likely to need that many) doesn't require us to win that amount of matches. Six/Seven is a solid bet I think.
