Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 16, 2013 What do you deem an acceptable points haul?Villa, Chelsea and Cardiff at home, Arsenal and Stoke away.Really from that, i''d like 6 points, i don''t care how we get them, but that''s what i''d take, be it wins v Chelsea and Arsenal and drubbings in the rest, or the more predictable wins v Villa and Cardiff and drubbings in the others.I predict 5 points though, 4 at home and 1 away.

Ginja 26 Posted September 16, 2013 We might scrape a point away at Stoke, beat Cardiff, 7 points I''m guessing something like this:Villa - WChelsea - LCardiff - WArsenal - LStoke - DI have a bad feeling Villa will beat us again though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colneycanary 0 Posted September 16, 2013 I have a strong feeling that Hughton and his team, won''t be here much longer unless there is a major improvement in our play. I think McNally''s patience is wearing very thin at the moment. There has been no improvement since last season. Our run in at the end of season is terrible, so if we are not well clear of the relegation zone come March, we are down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 16, 2013 If we play rubbish but grind out 2 wins and a draw from the next 5, then surely we''d still be happy?Imagine:0-0 west ham0-5 Chelsea and Arsenal1-0 Cardiff and Villagoing for the win at home is going to be massive this season.I don''t think McNally''s patience is ''wearing thin'' in the slightest. If we lost the next 5, then it might be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colneycanary 0 Posted September 16, 2013 And I''m going for 1 point! A draw against Villa, then lose the others.If anybody was to predict the first 4 games it would beEverton drawHull winSouthampton winSpurs loseSo we are already 3 points off what most people would of predicted!

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 16, 2013 Us winning away from home was always a tall order, i hope we''ll nick 3/4 wins on the road this season and a few draws, but realistically, we have to rely on our usually solid home form. This isn''t just us, but all the bottom 13/14 teams best chance.I had us down for 5 points from the first 4 games. and we''re a point off that. If we can win 8 at home and 4 away, that gives us 36 points and combined with 10 points from 10 draws, we should be fairly comfortable.I''d say we need 4 points from the next five as an absolute minimum though. Anything more than 7 would be a massive bonus in my book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
