See below. An easy ready to use "we are staying up" tracker.

In short we all know we are going to get hammered by the big teams, we therefore have to look at those as "just for fun".

Basically to stay up we need 40 points (probably less, but bare with it).

The easiest way is to beat all of the worst ten teams from last year at home and draw with them away.

If we do that we will have 40 points. I am including Newcastle and Huddersfield in the bottom 10 by the way.

If you lose all of the others you end up with the following results.

Bedwetting on NSC as we only get 9 points from our first 10 games.
Talk of Europe when we hit 23 points in mid December.
Talk of relegation gain by the end of January.
Then NSC goes crazy after we reach 38 point with five matches to go
NSC bedwets again as we take just 2 points from the final five matches, players on the beach, not trying etc etc etc etc etc.

As long as are close or ahead of this tracker, it will have been have a good season. Enjoy!!

Can you please add an extra column, ready for the ACTUAL cumulative total, for quick and easy reference through the season, so we know whether to be WETTING or not.

Great work. Can you factor in a surprise win against one of the big guns at some point though please?

Nope, that needs to be a genuine bonus to make up for our likely failure to beat Stoke and West Brom at home.

Simple. Effective. Genius.

Too kind

For sure, will do once we get going. I may even throw in a graph or two just for you. We don't want to be below the bedwetting waterline.

Brilliant.

And as an aside, I need a lie down just looking at the fixtures. It's still not really sunk in...... :albion2::albion2::albion2:

Perfect.

Perhaps a little RULE applied to the 'actual' column, too, so that the cells fill RED when we're behind the required 'run rate'.

I think you're underestimating [MENTION=3734]Giraffe[/MENTION] somewhat if you don't think this will be bounced at least 37 times before that.

Ouch. But perfectly true :)

Seriously doubt we won't get an away win somewhere along the line.

Did you see us play away at all last season? The wins we got were narrow and sometimes lucky against much lesser opposition than we will be playing soon.

I'd like to think one will come at Selhurst though.

Strange, but looking at the teams listed like that doesn't look so bad. The occasional Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea but most of the teams are no less mid table hangers on than we are.
