I think we will be ok in the end. I fully expected us to at some point be in the bottom 3 for a few games. Its really what happens the next 4 or 5 games that will determine whether or not I will be worried.
I think it will be much like that, a shame Bruce has put an over-emphasis on the next few matches though as it adds a bit of un-needed pressure
The lack of Diamé & Snodgrass is looking troubling now Very glad Curtis looked more like himself vs Chelsea since he and Chessie will have one of the best strikers to take care of on Saturday in Bony. Swansea aren't great away and for me this is a huge match. We need to make up the thrown away points to some extent and with the loss of key players the others will have to be at their best over Christmas
How many wins do we need ? The fact is we have only won 2 games so far , we need to start winning soon ie. next 3 games
Last season Bruce said 10. We probably need a few less based off the number of draws we are getting but one would think based off what Bruce said last year we probably need 9 wins, maybe 8 if we are real lucky.
9 more wins would give us cock on 40 points, but I think that'd be too close for comfort this year, so 9 wins and 4 draws from our last 19 games will do me . So if we win our next 3, we'd be on 22 points, another 6 wins would see us to forty, as we'd still have all the teams we'd beaten to play again, it'd actually make for pretty decent reading.
We have won 2 from 16 games so far so to expect us to win 9 from the next 22 is a big ask. We will have to hope that our fellow relegation strugglers are going to do a lot worse than we do.
I meant 9 or possibly 8 total so it would only be 7 more wins, 6 if we are lucky, plus we would still need a few draws.
out of the next 4 games I see us getting 6points, hopefully 7 at a push. If we don't win at least 2 I think we are in serious trouble
