Will we stay up?
Looking at the fixtures I see a total of 37 points as a realistic target. We therefore may need to obtain a couple of remarkable results. Can we do it?

This is the season that our luck runs out, IMO. I think we'll pick up a couple of wins, but not enough.
I may have a bit of time tomorrow to have a look at the remaining fixtures of our relegation rivals, which may be enough to change my mind, but as of now, I think we're gone.
Brighton next weekend is pretty much the do or die. 3 points there Brighton are in the thick of it and we might keep in touching distance after the city Liverpool demolitions. Lose it and Brighton spring 5 points clear before we even play those 2 sides. Realistically we could be 5 to 9 points chasing 4th from bottom. Especially as Villa and Bournemouth play one another I think to.
Not sure the players have the metal for the chase and a few will be planning their exit if so.
I really hope I'm wrong tho. :ok:
And, regardless of what people say, I hate relegation so much, we lose any decent players we have and that means we're even weaker if we do manage to come back up. In addition, as someone who can't get to many games, I only end up seeing a handful of matches each season when we're in the Championship as opposed to being able to watch every game when we're in the Premier League.
Sorry, too long, simple answer, no, I don't think we'll stay up :weep: :weep: :weep:
(PS Unless we get a couple of good players in before the window shuts, but obviously no chance of that happening)
When Moyes took over in 2017 we were 17th
After one month we'd were 19th
After three months we were 10th
Huge game.
My glass is half full and when its empty I just buy another.
Who would’ve thought we’d be in this mess after the first few games.
