[Albion] Where will we finish this season

[Guinness Boy]

16th seems to be about par. A hard run in now but there are certain games I really fancy us in, Leeds for example.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

IF we have finally got some confidence in front of goal, we could do well. Have gone for 13th

 

[Invicta]

Got two excellent back to back wins. Our approach football deserves at least six more points. BUT we are still bang in a relegation scrap, have never won at OT, never got a point in the league against Chelsea and have to tame Euro-chasing Everton.

Got a draw vs Chelsea on New Years day last year

I agree with this https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/premier-league/ but wouldn't be surprised/ would love it if we could finish above Palace as well.

I’ve been following that table, they still haven’t updated since our result last night.

Looking forward to see the difference that makes given the model predicted us finishing on 43pts (1% chance of relegation) before our game.

A heady 14th

 

[Bob!]

We'll move ahead of Burnley and Southampton. None of those below will overtake us.

I'd love us to catch Palace too - the gap's really only 4 points as we've got a far superior GD.

Either way, the Albion players have earned the right to look up the table just as much as down.

Nope, it's definitely 5 points.

If we had another 4 points we'd be a point behind them.

 

[Swansman]

16th. Too many difficult games to hope for more I think.

 

[redoubtable seagull]

16th with Fulham behind us and the Toon down with the Baggies ‘n’ Blades.

Of course... AliJ

 

[Seasidesage]

No idea way too many variables to even guess.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Happy enough with 17th but if we can push on I'd say 14th/15th is quite possible. Reckon we'll be around the 41 points mark.

 

[Frankie]

Like to think we could overtake Saints Burnley and possibly Wolves , Potter said he wanted to better last season so the aim must be 42 points , it's quite possible but also in reality we're not quite safe yet so I'd be happy with 17th but hope for 14th .

Nope, it's definitely 5 points.

If we had another 4 points we'd be a point behind them.

Sorry, I probably didn't explain myself very well here.

I meant to say that the gap was really only 4 points to Palace. If we could pull back 5 points on them, we'd be ahead on GD.

But regardless of how one looks at it, I'm sure all Albion fans would love us to finish above Palace.

With 27 points up for grabs, it's still possible.

 

[Sheebo]

With back to back wins for the first time in a long time I looked up the table rather than down, so realistically where do you think we can finish this season?

I've set my sights on 12th


Team P GD Pts

10 Arsenal 28 8 41
11 Leeds 29 -2 39
12 Crystal Palace 29 -16 37
13 Wolves 29 -10 35
14 Southampton 29 -15 33
15 Burnley 29 -15 33
16 Brighton 29 -4 32
17 Newcastle 29 -20 28
18 Fulham 30 -15 26
19 West Brom 29 -37 18
20 Sheff Utd 29 -34 14

A long time? Didn’t we weeks ago beat Spurs then Liverpool?!

So the gap is 5 points then.
If you think the gap is only 4 points, you’ll still be behind us, even with a better goal difference

No, the gap is only 5 points if GD isn't relevant...which of course it would be if both teams were level on points.

I'll concede that we may be seeing things differently here. And I'm happy to agree to disagree.

But that doesn't take away from the fact that Albion's better GD of 12 over Palace is unlikely to change dramatically in 9 games and is worth at least a point.

Great comeback!

(If you couldn't understand it, you just needed to say.)

I don’t think you understand it !!
The gap is 5 points, not 4 ,
5 !!!!!!!!

Purely on points, yes, I'd agree that the gap is 5.

But that's not what I was arguing.
