[Albion] Points to be safe this season

37 should be enough, it was for 7 seasons in the 2010s. 38 almost certainly will be, otherwise at least 3 of the teams below us would need to pick up more than 1ppg until the end of the season and we'd have to dip under 1ppg - this is assuming none of the clubs above us nosedive into getting less than 7 or 8 points from 13 games.
The bottom bottom 6 or 7 is very competitive this season but as a result none of us seem to be able to put a run together, I think 19th place will be a few points off the pace but 18th will be tight

Indeed, too many over confident posters in here me thinks.
IF we survive it will be by the skin of our teeth.
38, for me Clive.
Desperately close for us between 17th and 18th, I fear.

This. Does amaze me how some think that we will suddenly win 5 games all of a sudden when the pressure is on and we have stuttered and given away points all season. I think , as last year, this is too close too call.

I'm kind of hoping that Watford's new manager bounce might be starting to wane a bit, l know they were unlucky to lose yesterday, but generally their results seem to be tailing off a bit.
Still, now l've said that no doubt they will put that right next Saturday.
Yep, that's done it.

That has been some turnaround since the 0-9. Not convinced we have enough experience or quality to do the same.

Or Danny Ings.
We have also drawn 8, so for a start we can say that 3 wins and 4 draws is more likely than 5 wins - 13 points rather than 15.
I think that for the first year in a long time you may actually need 40 to stay up, everyone's picking up points, the top six, other than one club, are dropping points and it's very tight in the bottom between Watford and Palace in 14th it's only 7 points. 39 may see you safe and 40 will.
As always, 40. A waste of thread really, we all know the rules

36 to survive with anything else being a bonus.
Don't know where this talk about winning 5 games is coming from, will win maybe 2 and make the rest up with draws.

That was last season, not good enough this year IMO.

Yes. Why do people always ignore draws?
The 3 wins and 4 draws, as you say, still allows us 6 defeats.
Personally, I don't think we will lose all 4 of our remaining big 6 home games, so we can still afford a bad result or two. Better if it isn't against Watford or other direct rival though
If we are very, very lucky then, with the Bournemouth defeat today, 36 points may be enough.
Palace is always a 'must win', but this time it is doubly so.
After that we need to look at getting the remaining required 6 points from the Norwich and Newcastle games.
It's too close for comfort now.

I don't get this. So do you think we're nailed on the lose all the games you haven't listed? All of them?

And we'd be very lucky to stay up with 36 points.
No, I'm not predicting anything. I'm projecting that we'll win a couple more games after palace, and the 2 games mentioned are the ones which to me seem the likeliest we'll pick something up.
