Next 8 Games (GW1-8)

alderz

And we're back! I've cut the season into chunks - games 1-8, 9-16, 17-24, 25-31 and 32-38.

Remember, this IS NOT a prediction game. This is simply saying, from this batch of fixtures, what is the cut off point between good and bad. You could go one further and say what is the cut off between good, decent and bad if you want to, but basically you need to say the minimum number of points that think is acceptable after this run of games.

So, our next 8 games are:
1. Bournemouth away
2. Chelsea at home
3. Brighton away
4. Luton away
5. Man City at home
6. Liverpool away
7. Sheffield Utd at home
8. Newcastle at home

10/11

Good - 14 Decent - 11 Bad - 6.

OldCastleSwift

The minimum for me is 10 as I'd be expecting wins against Bournemouth, Luton and Sheff Utd a point from either Chelsea or Newcastle.

9

9 just about OK. The minimum acceptable.

chicagohammer

9 is the number that I am unfortunately expecting from this listing, more than that and I will be very happy, less than that……………..

OutcastLondoner

Agree with Lukerz - 10/11

thornburyiron

I’ll say 9

HainaultHammer

Respect the point. 8

jay_in_cpt

I expect 9, Any less will put some pressure on Moyes IMO.

PrestonHammer

10 for me.

buffybegood

My expectations for the season are pretty low, 8 would just about be not dreadful, but I suspect we'll struggle to get that many.

IronHerb

Pint? 😂

Depends on expectations. If you want mid-table mediocrity, then 9 or 10. If you want top half gotta to better. At win half for 12.

Whitehorsehammer

With Chelsea Liverpool Man City Newcastle and our bogey team Brighton 9 would be the minimum.

nychammer66

I expect nothing from city or Liverpool, but Chelsea were rubbish last year and we’re home to newc so points are possible. As for Brighton, that game actually determines our season, imo. Lose again and it’s same old. Need to beat them to show progress.

IronHerb

The question is what would you be happy with, not what would you expect, predict.

nychammer66

12 = happy
10-11 = ok
<10 = oh no, not again….

We’re you perhaps a headmaster at one time ?😉

BerlinHammer

Minimum - 9
Think we will get 7 though.

So another relegation fight then.

MrsGrey

OMG, is the season only 8 games long this year!?

Another one of the new rules...

Fortuneseeker

MrsGrey, Didn’t you know David Moyes is being judged on a game by game basis. 😁

MrsGrey

Be honest. For some, the judgement has been made and nothing will ever change their opinion.

alderz

Maybe that’s another question.

For the MoyesOut people, how many points for people think Moyes is the right man for the job? For ProMoyes, how many points for you to turn MoyesOut?

Lukerz

Tricky as a tough set of fixtures

DJ Hammer

I can’t see past 7
