Why apologise for such optimism?

Actually, I think we'll get 10 from those 9. I ought to say 10 from 10 because the 10th game is at the Emirates. A point a game will do us fine.

5 points wouldn't actually be that bad when you consider the opposition are probably clear favourites in many of those fixtures. It'd be great if we could get 8-10 points as that would put us in a fairly comfortable position for the run in. More than that and I might start to get dizzy. On current form it's hard not to think the worst.

Sadly I think we will struggle this season but if we do get 5 then with the current lead over Everton and West Ham of 7 points then that is just about ok. Personally I think 5 is ambitious maybe 4 and we do have a nasty run coming and how will we handle the following matches. Remember the bottom 3 are there for a reason and not all of those below us will catch us.
Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course). |

Chelsea Honestly, it does look quite grim and I'd hope we'd turn one of those 1pts into 3pts, but it's quite desperate. 4pts in these upcoming 9 games, coupled with 7pts from 12 games (including Forest and Fulham) is beyond poor. However, a few good results on the bounce spin it all around as always. Tough times and Vieira is under pressure, so he must react and adapt or face the chop in 6 weeks or so if the above happens.

I'm gonna put a slight spin on it for optimistic purposes. Don't expect points versus Liverpool or City. I'm quite sure of that. Old Trafford result possible but certainly doable against Utd at home. I think we might nab a couple away wins against 'lower ranked' sides however for some retention of belief. Always prepare for worst vs Seaweed. Chelsea ( A ) = 1pts
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

The crucial question is will another 18 points be won over the remaking 21 matches of the season to get to the ‘magic’ 40 points safety target? The next 9 games do look daunting at the moment, but should 5 points be the outcome it will leave 13 more needed from 12 matches. Surely this should be achievable with games against many of the weaker teams in that time - but it could be close. Then knowing Palace they could just as easily hit a purple patch and get to 40 points with games to spare and we will all wonder why we were worried, as has happened a few times in recent years

My gut feel is that teams will probably be OK with 36 Points & a decent goal difference - its been a long time since that wasn't enough - Originally posted by Vectis

We have 17 from our last 12 games of am I misreading your post?

Chelsea ( A ) = 0pts 8 points. Not an overly positive or negative assessment. We'll see.
