It’s going to be a similar cut-off to last year 33/34 points needed, 36 at most and our second half fixtures look more likely to yield points as the home games are theoretically “easier”...so if we have 18 points or more after Arsenal (and haven’t lost to all of Cardiff, Hudds and Palace) we will be on course.
If as some are suggesting we get 9 points from the next 7 games we may not even be talked about much in the relegation stakes come the new year...? Let’s take each game as it comes and enjoy the ride

It would be nice to get sufficient points to be going into the new year in 10th place. If we achieved that then there should be some margin for a poor spell that we will undoubtedly go through before the end of the season. I am currently pretty optimistic that we can do that.

6 more points this half of the season is the minimum needed to give us a fighting chance of staying up.

Still on track for 27
I said I'd be happy with 12 before the run, it looks as though I'll have to upgrade that to a minimum of 15 at present, especially with Cardiff and Huddersfield to play.

Can’t see us winning any of them on paper - so anything is a bonus!

Lucky we play on grass then.

I'd think we'll be around 18 points by Chelsea.

I'm sticking with my prediction of a low points cut off. The top 6 have all spent fortunes and upped their game post-LCFC title with some great new managers so that they harvest almost every point, then at the other end of the table there's some dross unable to defend.

So...a draw at Burnley and we'd have our 22 pts!
