Points needed to stay up

I love that these threads appear after we've lost a game. I do wonder if other fanbases are as bipolar as ours....
It’s absolutely pathetic and a massive overreaction.

Imagine thinking 42 points will be needed to stay up :lol: :lol: :lol:

The current bottom 3 are averaging below a point a game, West Ham will need to win 7 games in 15 to get near 41 points, they’ve won 5 games all season.

Definitely looking down again now like after being foolish enough to start looking up!

They all seem to be winning regularly now down there and we've won what 2 in the last 12?
If we beat Burnley next week, the chances are we'll be 7th-8th in the PL and 16 points clear of West Ham and 10 clear of Leeds.
 
  • Most points in a season while being relegated:
    • 42 games: 49, ( )
    • 38 games: 42, ()
  • Most points while bottom of the league:
    • 42 games: 40, ()
    • 38 games: 34, ()
49 wow. Ok, maybe closer to 42 then..

How many points do you think West Ham will need?
 
I do still apprehensively look over the shoulder as it’s an ingrained safc style scenario 😂 and I do expect one of the bottom lot to grit their teeth and put pressure on those above.
 
I answered it, 35 points.

You didn’t really, you said how many they’d be “lucky to get” rather than what they’d need.

But, ok so you think West Ham will stay up on 35 points? You really think Forest will only get 9 points from their last 15 games? That would mean their ppg would need to halve for the rest of the season from where it’s been. Don’t think I agree. I think West Ham will need 42 and therefore that’s what we should aim for as quickly as possible.
 
How many you reckon this season.

Feels like it's going to be much higher than previous seasons.

The pessimist in me is still keeping an eye on how far we are from 18th.
Totally with you on that. I believe we could be panicking if don't get some on board soon . I believe 41/42 this season

Yeah hence why I said they will need 35 points and will be lucky to get near it.

I don’t think Forest will be 17th, so it’s irrelevant what I think they will get.
