Premier League: Relegation Race

[AndyWolves]

Obvs if we beat Sheff United and the shit then it's no bother

 

[PuntsWolf]

Fulham, Burnley and Brighton in our run in. We lose those 3 and it's squeaky bum time imho

What sycophantia says...

If we lose 9 of the last 10 then yeah we deserve to go down. As long as we beat a Sheff Utd team who have thrown the towel In though we will probably still stay up!

 

[YoungWolf]

We are about on track for 46-47 points I think. Even then, 12 points from 10 games wouldn't be brilliant if we wanted to finish the season well.

 

[Tony Towner]

We are 9 points clear with 9 games left for the team 3rd from bottom and another 4 teams between us and that team. After we lost to Albion 10 games ago it was 10 points having played 2 games more. We weren't going down then and we aren't now.

 

[AndyWolves]

I'm not saying we are going down, I'm saying it only takes a few results to go wrong for us and we'll be in the mix.

If we lose to Fulham, Brighton and Burnley - which is certainly in the realms of possibility it'll get a bit squeaky.

No chance Nuno will start experimenting until we are 100% safe.

 

[jd1981]

It’s highly unlikely but not impossible, a lot of ifs have to occur for us to be in the fight. If you’re 9 points clear you’re not in the battle as soon as that drops below 6 points then you’re. We’re not very good but should have more than enough to get at least 6-7 points minimum from remaining games.

It doesn't matter if they beat us in a singular game.


What your proposing is those sides along with Newcastle, collectively, put together runs of form which better whatever our own run of form is.

Burnley have just beaten a very ordinary Everton side.

Newcastle have injuries to their three most important attacking players who have scored or created what 65% of their goals and have the worst metrics for just about every measurable statistic in the league.

Brighton are down there because they couldn't finish their dinner and regularly play war crimes like Dan Burn in their XI.

Fulham look the most likely to get out of it right now, to a certain degree Scott Parker has learned on the job and they seem to have a reasonable defence with at least something going forwards.

We have our best defender returning and one of our better attacking options returning. We aren't pulling up any trees and we have obviously glaring problems at the moment but we're miles off relegation.

 

[Del Woppio]

I think people are over-egging the relegation danger in an effort to defend the approach we've had to football this season tbh

 

[Tony Towner]

I think it's a combination of lockdown overthinking and Wolves fans typically looking for doomsday scenarios to either claim 'I told you so' or in most examples to ready themselves for the pain.

On this occasion it's horsepoo though

No one is suggesting we’re going down, no one is suggesting we’re in the mix at the moment people are just warning against complacency.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

We will get at least 40 points. There is no chance of us going down. People shouldn’t even be stressing about it.

 

[AndyWolves]

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not saying we will get relegated. I'm saying a few nasty results and we're in the mix.

If City have a bad run of form and United win all their remaining games then United will win the league.

Next two games are Liverpool and West Ham. I'm thinking we'll probably get 0 points from those games.

Then it's Fulham - I can see us losing that one given how well Fulham have been playing

Sheff United next - we should beat them

Then Burnley and West Brom - I'm taking nothing for granted in those games

Then Brighton - they have the potential to create lots of chances

Then Spurs - they're better than us

Everton and Man United to finish - both could need something for European places.

A slightly pessimistic view, but hopefully explains why Im a little nervous

 

[AndyWolves]

If City have a bad run of form and United win all their remaining games then United will win the league.

Not really comparible to us though

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s about as likely.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Since we lost to Albion (which we shouldn't have, we had enough chances to have buried them by half time, plus their first goal wasn't even a penalty) our form is:

P9 W3 D4 L2

It's not like we aren't picking up points, we are. That's just mid-table form, we are currently a mid-table team.

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah, we are just chugging along at the moment. It's not that much fun but unless we do change formation (pls try the 4231 again Nuno) - it will be more of the same I think til the end of the season

 

[prawnking]

As Lincs said, we have problems but not enough to be in danger of going down. Most teams down there have inferior quality, big injury lists, poor managers or a combination of all three.

It would take a huge mental collapse for us to get dragged into matters at the bottom, and I can't see that happening with Nuno, even in his current frazzled state.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This week's Brucie presser pearlers:

"Can we now get 17 or 18 points now in the last 10 games like we did at the start. That would be wonderful."

You got 14 points from those games Steve and didn't deserve to get them. Luck's run out, fella.

You get a bad run, and ours was December/January. Over the last seven or eight games, only Man United and Chelsea have beaten us.

Wrong, Palace have also beaten you in the last seven games. Which was your 6th defeat in 7, which later became 8 in 10 and you haven't won since.

Does he just think no-one will check? Not even my team and it pisses me off.
