[Albion] How many points to stay up?

[Wardy's twin]

I think its 6th favourite. Huddersfield, West Brom, Swansea, Newcastle and Stoke are considered more likely at the moment.

Thanks for the info so the pricing is a bit misleading...

thanks Bozza , they obviously didn't see WHU play yesterday otherwise they would have pretty poor odds as well

I think there's value in backing all of West Ham, Southampton and Palace to go down, speculatively. If any of them get sucked in much deeper you'll have an easy lay to cash in.

And Watford who picked up most of their points at the start of the season.

God knows why some think 32 will be enough it isn't,. Clubs in the bottom 3 now have more points than those at this point last season. We are looking at 38pts to be safe providing our GD is better

37 for me

The Albion referred to in this as favourites to go down is of course West Bromwich Albion

When i did the prediction we ended up on 38 and finished 13 above palace. Huddersfield ended up on 31 point in 17th place. there is an awful lot of opportunity for teams in the scrap to take points off each other.

Aside from Swansea and Stoke playing each other no-one in the scrap has an easy last game of the season.

Not saying if it will or won't but do the predictor and see how many points gets safety. It would be interested to see what other people end up with.

Still think 36/37 will keep any team out of the bottom three.

I do this every year when we have something to play for ... which is just about every year!

You can see by orange wrong and green right just how tricky it is. At this stage of the season and as things get desperate for the lower sides and maybe more relaxed for the middling (not so many of those) and up top get sorted then I think results are even less predictable. I'd say that there's another 3/4 points to be had by those bottom teams so I'd got for 36 as being enough

I've got a hunch Watford might go and looking at upcoming fixtures you can see why Wagner rested a few v Man U

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

One thing is for sure - We need to win against either Stoke or Swansea.

If we don't do that, we'll be struggling to stay up.

 

[OzMike]

Possible 9 points in that lot, so 36 total in the end, which just might be enough the way other teams are playing.

 

[blue-shifted]

Lets look at this differently. So how many points do we need to finish top half?

I'm thinking 45 might be enough this year. Currently we're 27 points with 12 games left. We'd need 18 more, so that's p12 w5 d3 l4 from here. Clearly we'd need a couple of big results

The answer to your question is ...... I'm drinking Speckled Hen, (which traditionally makes me angry rather than optimistic, I guess they changed the recipe).

36.
Done and dusted.

Think 35 would have been enough, but think we’ll end up on 40.
