Next 3 games how many points?

Southampton a
Watford h
Everton h

I’m going optimistic 6/9

5 points

a draw against saints
a draw against watford
a win against everton

would be a healthy return from those 3 games

We have a good team spirit at the moment

We are capable of winning all 3 but we are also capable of losing them.

I would be over the moon with 5 points as long as the 3 come from the Southampton game.
Bo point beating teams like Everton or Watford but losing to Southampton.

I hate these simply because where we should win. We fail. When we are expected to lose we pick up a point or three

9 points would do for me, but I think more likely to be 3 or 4 points max. We need to be taking 4 points from every 3 games we play which would get us to around 38 points, probably the target to survive. I think 4 points would keep us on track, anything more a bit of a bonus.

6 points ,lose to Southampton but win our home games

6 points ,lose to Southampton but win our home games

Losing to Southampton would be a disaster. That is the big game the others are just bonus points

The next game against Southampton will be the biggest game of the season(they are all big games now) to be honest.
We need to come from there with something.
They will probably be feeling sick after Burnley nicking a point from the last kick of the game.

...and yet it shows that they're not good at playing right to the end, which we are

6 points ,lose to Southampton but win our home games

Cant see us wining away tho but i can see us winning most of our home games which i think will keep us up ,Burnley to go down

3 or 4 points i think we'll do well to get.

9 easy !

When I saw them v Man City they were abject.

Looks like they have improved though of late but is it a temporary new manager spike or permanent.

Makes as much sense as some of the other guesses!

Fancy us for 6 points out of these but a win against Saints will be huge right now.

Lots of people saying Southampton is a "must win" but actually if we get a draw just to keep them within 2 points and then take something out of Watford and/or Everton that would be absolutely fine. A win would obviously be huge but is it realistic ? I think it's our home form that will decide on whether we stay up or not.

If we lose against Southampton then we really need to be looking at getting at least 4 points in those two home games. It's just about holding your nerve at this point and picking up points where we can.

4 wins and a couple of draws does it for me (36 points) so it is certainly doable.

Simple as that. What we must do now is try for a "cup run". Each game we play we must try to win at all costs, irrespective of who we're playing. The mindset must be 150% to finish the "tie" in front.
That's possible ,irrespective of how games look on paper , as we know from famous cup runs including one of our own.
Certainly not how anyone should approach league games, but we've put ourselves in this position by wasting a few points against teams like Burnley and Huddersfield and so we need a slightly better performance in this second half of the season to make up for that.

Okay, I say 9 and I know that might not happen ,but that must be our clear intention at this stage . We need to win five or six games out of what's left really, so let's get on and get that done as soon as possible because each game that passes at this point takes away another bit of our remaining opportunity.

Anyone who's read my posts will know this is about the opposite to my usual stance but we've gotten ourselves into a certain position and there's no point in worrying about that or blaming anyone, except to learn from it for next season in the Premiership. We've got one way out now ,and we are capable of taking it , so let's go and do it gentlemen .

I think this could go to the last game or two of the season. I still believe as I have since day one, that we can finish in 16th or 17th place, which I think was always our most realistic target. I can't see Fulham or Huddersfield surviving, and after that it's any one of six to join them. A difficult time ahead, but I certainly think we can finish higher than Burnley, possibly Southampton as well. We are still in with a shout.

9 points and that’s our relagation ntroubles all but over with 10 games left to play

LAST 20 YEARS 36 POINTS WOULD BE ENOUGH 50% OF THE TIME.
37 POINTS..80%

it did look like being a very low total ,possibly the lowest required which would be 30 but its changed a bit over the last month or so . could be anything ?

Let's do that then

Not going to have Niasseagainst Everton mind, I’d say 6/7 out of 9

Let's hope not because that's Manchester Utd away !
I think you're quite right in your prognosis , and in fact we could have done better if we'd been a bit more professional sometimes, but I keep making this comparison with a cup run because we all know that's possible with a certain mentality.
We must INTEND to win, not just hope to.
