What do you think?
 
Can't see us winning at Newcastle, but can see us winning at Wigan and Reading. Would also say 1 point at Sunderland.
 
Good to see some sense (from my point of view) with regard to these four games vs Chelsea, Everton, Utd and City. It's concerned me how many people in recent days have been targetting about four points from these games - because when we inevitably don't get them, any backlash from those fans would be completed unwarranted.

That could easily be this season's top four (albeit not in that order) come May.
 
Think you're a bit optimistic with some of those 3 pointers, but then again, I'd be disappointed if we took no points at all from the top clubs, considering we face most of them at home.

There are enough points on offer obviously, just need to keep this decent form going and we'll pick up enough of them.

To be honest that's mostly quick guesses/hunches rather than anything vaguely informed, partly because I couldn't be bothered to weigh up each game and because when you're looking more than 2/3 weeks into the future it's a complete lottery as to what form/position etc. those teams will be in.
 
Personally i can see us getting 0 points between now and the Qpr game which would make that game and the Norwich game very important. If we could sneak a win at wigan it would be a massive bonus.

Agree to an extent. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we didn't pick up another point between now and the QPR game. Obviously hope we do though!

(Think I said on the other thread that I predict us picking up one point during this time)
 
No need to worry. We're a completely different team to the one that started the season. We'll get some unexpected points off the big boys and finished mid table. :)

Surely you don't think we will lose our next 6. I'm very confident that won't happen!

Be prepared to see the boo boys out and going against Adkins. Things are going to be a lot different in 5 games time to how they are now. Still think we'll make it though.
 
Having given Man city a game at their place, why wouldn't we at least be hopeful at ours? We should be going into every home game expecting at least 1 point.
 
I agree that i wouldn't be to surprised if we did pick up a point or 2 against the big boys but i would see it as more unexpected than expected.

While you can never predict the form of teams coming into these games so far down the line I do think our points total will be somewhere between 44-48. Still sticking with my 14th place prediction at the start of the season!

End points: 44 )I am always optimistic hence we will only lose 2 games :) Of course we will lose more but hopefuly will win more as well to counter that. Biggest hope is that we thrash West Ham and make Big Sam run out of Wrigleys. Not so sure we will beat them though because we aren't brilliant in the air.
 
I wouldnt assume that 38 points is the target, especially if the bottom two are well adrift. I'm looking for 40pts minimum but its going to be a long struggle to get those 19 points

That's only 16 more points and 37 total, but its a lot of draws, to get to safety we need to turn a couple of those into wins. We may need a bit of luck and a couple more dodgy penalties.

I hope and pray we can, but realistically taking each match in isolation and considering league position and form I think they are the most likely outcomes, I do know that no-one (especially not me!) will get them all right so points will be dropped and gained. I hope we gain more than we drop against my predictions.
 
No point in guessing what the results will be from here to the end of the season. Anything can happen, why not enjoy each game as it comes rather then worrying about the rest.
