Off Topic The Final 14 Games

[Hannah1989]

24 games in, 36 points, possible chance at Europe and an FA Cup run is on the cards.

Not too bad for a club that wasn't going to win a single game in the PL this season, no one would want to sign for, we would be down by Xmas and rival Derby's point tally. Bit silly really

Here we are, though, 8th in the league, 5 points of Man u in 4th,

14 games left, 42 points (which if we won each one we would be on 78 points)

The remaining games are

A- Arsenal ( Possibly blue away kit?)
H- Liverpool
H- Fulham
A- Bournemouth ( defo blue away kit)
A- Leeds ( stripes?)
H- Brighton
A - Visitors
H - Spurs
A- Villa
H - Forest
A- Wolves ( could they be relegated by then)
H - Man u
A- Everton
H - Chelsea ( if we are safe (LOL joking) & we have secured European football the SoL will be rocking)

Out of those 14 games, I can see us winning 7/8 of them.

RLB has stated our first target was 40 points, this will now be increased to 50 points.
14 points from 14 games would represent a little bit of a drop off but the better clubs / coaches will know what we are about now and will give a little more respect and I think that is quite reasonable, if a little unexciting.
However, watching Sadiki and Talbi in their interview last night I think that we may achieve a higher points return.
My prediction is a solid 18 points..

Yes, I'm still playing safe

I can't see us relegated even before we play at Wolves mind.

Confidence and psychology being so important in the game, think the Liverpool game could decide our direction of travel. Avoid defeat and we have a target to battle for. Lose and the season could just drift away.

 

[Nads]

Diarra is like a new signing based on last night and now team have to deal with him working off Brobbey.

We get plenty more points yet.

 

[rowley]

Somewhere between 12 and 22 points for me. Higher end if injuries are good to us.

One thing I do think is that teams often look confused against us. Even we, watching all the games, don't know which way we'll play.

We are extremely well coached and prepared and appear able to switch mid game with barely a blip, and often to very good effect. This changing in games often brings carnage at the back, but we've done it very well so far

Most teams would rather play someone else. .

I don't think there'll be any drifting mate, even if we go on a bit of a bad streak, which happens to most teams. . They have the bit between their teett this lot

I`m more "glass half empty" when it comes to predictions and SAFC...I think I see us not losing more than 4 - we ought to win 5 or 6 so we`d get draws for the others (no **** Sherlock!) so an extra 20-23 points for me - we`d then finish on 56-59 points which last season would have seen us finish 8-9th...

Ridiculously, we were to finish below 10th it would feel a bit disappointing for the season we`ve had...

 

[Juanito Caminante]

Currently averaging 1..5 points per game, so on that basis I’m going safe and predicting 21 points from the next 14 games (although I do think that could be exceeded now we have all players back at our disposal)

to be honest, i would be happy with 14 draws, 50 points is an okay return for our first season back and keeps our unbeaten home record intact.

RLB loves to make his in game changes and they are usually effective if not often noticed, i think this is the reason teams don't fancy playing us...as fans we have seen how the team is set up and how it nullifies the opposition, plus i am happy to let them think all these teams just 'had a day off' when they played us.

maybe we have had our bad streak during the AFCON yet we still got points on the board at a time when (let's be honest) we expected to turn up and hang on.

...and unusually for me i appear to be quite optimistic

50 points is superb for a newly promoted team. Decent chance we reach that figure
