Only 6 league games remaining until the world cup break and clubs such as ourselves basically get an extra pre season. How many points from: West Ham (H) Bournemouth (A) Arsenal (H) Palace (A) Newcastle (H) Liverpool (A) Surely we'd like to be at at least a point per game by then which would require 8. Doable? Hard to judge when we don't know when (if) Ralph will go but I'm going to go for 7. Even away from Ralph those West Ham and Bournemouth games look massive. Fail to get some positive results there and it might start to look bleak after Arsenal's visit.
After the run we have had we need an absolute minimum of 8 points from that. Either 3 wins or 2 wins, 2 draws. That looks a big ask, but that is what you get after 0 points against Villa, Wolves & Everton.
Honestly the way we are playing right now, I see 1 point from that. A draw with Bournemouth. If Lavia returns in the same form as he was maybe we could get a point from Newcastle at home
I don’t normally get involved in these but going for 6 defeats simply because of our performances against Wolves, Villa and Everton. And if we do pick up points I will use the excuse that I was going for the reverse psychology ploy.
Half glass full but being realistic, I’d normally say 6 but I just don’t have any confidence Ralph can turn this around / improve us, so 3. How ****ing sad is that ! W/o Ralph, haven’t got a clue but more likely to be better. Ps. Really hope RH proves me wrong because I have feeling he’s here till the WC.
West Ham (H) DRAW Bournemouth (A) WIN Arsenal (H) LOSE Palace (A) LOSE Newcastle (H) LOSE Liverpool (A) LOSE 4pts
West Ham (H) D Bournemouth (A) D Arsenal (H) L Palace (A) L Newcastle (H) W Liverpool (A) L 5 points.
I am in the 3-5 points region, if Ralph is sacked before the Spammers game, then I might go as high as 7
I suspect that Ralph would need at least 6 points to have any chance of keeping his job and that looks tough give our current form. The performance levels need to improve a lot too and there needs to be progression on the pitch and part of me still wants it to happen although the other half wants the suffering to end, both ours and Ralph's. I think that we'll probably get a win and a couple of draws which won't be enough.
10pts. Something will change. Either Ralph does or we get a new manager who will hopefully at least try something new.
2. Draws against Bompey and Palace. Can't see where we're going to get wins from as yet. I'm currently not hoping for any better because TIOON7 tells people it's the hope that kills you and I always believe what I read on the Internet.
I honestly can’t see where we’re going to get a single point, things really have got that bad! If Ralph, or whoever replaces him, can turn the ship around before the January window I’ll be pleasantly amazed. Without a proper DM and a striker who, you know, strikes, we are sunk.
I wouldn't be surprised if we took some unexpected points then returned to the less than dynamic current levels.
