Sticking to the 40. No hopeless ambulance cases this season.

Norwich do looked doomed, but I wouldn’t put it past them to get some high scoring wins.

Yep, 40 to be pretty certain. We will struggle to get that many though imo. We will be in the mix for the rest of the season. We can’t kill teams off so will end up drawing games we should win and losing ones we should draw too often

39 with a strong goal difference. We need spurs, everton and Chelsea to come into form

If only we’d stop being open to silly goals and the counter. Even the apparently better defence against Villa, masked the fact that Grealish should’ve buried an opener at the NS end and another second half.

Our last 4 games on paper have been winnable but we've managed to only get 2 points.

Yep. And yet we've beaten Spurs at home and Arsenal away. The league is completely open at the moment. We seem to be better against the big teams under Potter. They can't play like Sheffield Utd.

Could be 5 teams on 37pts... [emoji23]

How soon is now?
40 will ensure safety as it generally does, I think 36 may be enough this season on goal difference. I think 36 will be a challenge though as we’re simply not picking up pints where we should. We’ll need a couple of unexpected wins to get over the line, hopefully they’ll materialise

5 more wins pushing past the 40 point total will see us safe. Plenty of games left to get these five.

Agreed, thinking it’s going to be a season when a team goes down on 40 points! Can’t see us picking up 5 more wins though, need to be more clinical.

Great to see the old points required thread back, albeit under it s new guise. Disappointed that we haven't yet had the discussion over whether we need one point more than 18th, or whether need maximum points 17th team has had, but surely it is out there.

Where's Triggaaar when required?

Our performance has warranted more points but obviously you don't always get what you deserve, I honestly think we will need 41 to be safe this season.

If we get Duffy back we could get plenty of pints in. :wink:
