Mr Angry 1,554 Posted November 23, 2015 Watford feature in the next 3 games in the Mini League-away to Villa, at home to us and then away to Sunderland. I said at the start of the season that they would do better than people might think, still don''t think they''ll be in trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ca 1 Posted November 24, 2015 I dint see Watford being bottom 3 which is a shameStill think bottom 3 will be 3 of these 6 teams but am convinced there will be 3 beneath us lol Swansea, Norwich, Newcastle, Sunderland, Bournemouth, Villa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted November 24, 2015 Sunderland have both those tests coming up and Bournemouth have Chelsea and Arsenal away. It''s important that we play well in our games against Arsenal, ManUtd and Spurs for that reason.These are the matches remining this half of the season:Norwich: Arsenal(h), Watford(a), Everton(h), ManUtd(a), Spurs(a), Villa(h) Newcastle: Palace(a), Liverpool(h), Tottenham(a), Villa(h), Everton(h), West Brom(a)Bournemouth: Everton(h), Chelsea(a), ManUtd(h), WBA(a), Palace(h), Arsenal(a)Sunderland: Stoke(h), Arsenal(a), Watford(h), Chelsea(a), ManCity(a), Liverpool(h)Villa: Watford(h), Southampton(a), Arsenal(h), Newcastle(a), West Ham(h), Norwich(a) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 435 Posted November 24, 2015 What this underlines is, whatever Norwich City''s points tally at the end of March, there will be three weeks in April where NCFC''s fate will be in their own hands.Nine points will be on offer at home, against ''potential'' relegation rivals - a vastly different scenario that Hughton allowed himself to be faced with.With ''lady-luck'' stuck firmly in neutral, with no critical injuries within the squad, and with nigh on a full season''s PL experience behind him, I would back AN to secure three victories.

ca 1 Posted November 24, 2015 These games are all must win games, we need 15pts from these which will give us 27pts, so we need to pick up 13 pts from the other 20 games which should be achievable??Villa (h) DecSwansea ( a) MarchNewcastle ( h) AprilSunderland (h) AprilWatford (h) April Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted November 24, 2015 Easy to do CA. The Watford match next week is also very important if we are to keep in touch with them and Everton at home is also a chance for points. Any others off the big boys will be a bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie Borkins 1 Posted December 6, 2015 I must say it is tempting to sub Watford, who look coherent and pretty impressive, with Swansea.Much as this goes against the rules of the Relegation Mini-League©™, I will consider as a valid exception. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted December 19, 2015 Chelsea will beat Sunderland at home, they have to for their own integrity.Newcastle Villa - a draw please!WBA v Bournemouth I can imagine this will end in a draw.Swansea v West Ham - hammers need a win after a couple of poor results.

Mr Jenkins 0 Posted December 24, 2015 Interesting that none of the promoted teams are in the bottom three at Christmas, I suspect that''s quite unusual.The last time none of the promoted teams were relegated the next season was the season we last came up 2010/11, lets hope it''s a good omen.

TheRock 170 Posted December 30, 2015 That is interesting to see Bournemouth bottom. Its all well and good beating the top teams, but you must win the games involving the teams around you to stay in the league. Blackpool in 2011 were a prime example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xymox 7 Posted December 30, 2015 Promising table with 12 out of 15 but 9 of those have come at home so will be more interesting as we see some of the reverse fixtures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted December 30, 2015 We have a 100% home record, true - which is encouraging. On current form you would expect 10-11 more points from the remaining games.[img]http://s13.postimg.org/9k9dimfnb/rml.jpg[/img] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
