The next 7 games will tell the story - how many points?

[Chimbo!]

Tough set of fixtures but every team has them at some point during the season.

Having gained a point at Liverpool we have made a solid start. Newcastle and Stoke at home are games we are favourites to win (although with Spurs you never know ala Wolves). That leaves United at home and away days to Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea. If we want to stay in the top 3 then realistically we would have to beat Newcastle and Stoke to reduce pressure on the other games and take maximum points at least once in a match we will not be expected to. If we remain unbeaten as well then even better so:

Liverpool (a) - 1 point
Newcastle (h) - 3 points
Arsenal (a) - 1 point
Man Utd (h) - 1 point
Everton (a) - 3 points
Stoke (h) - 3 points
Chelsea (a) - 1 point

That would give us 13 points which would be a strong return on those fixtures... However, I am being optimistic.

14, an average of 2 points per game.
We are not going to win the league but anything over 12 will keep us nicely placed for third because we will have taken points off those around us and have a several points advantage over all those beneath us.

More crucially if we go into the last 8 games in third with some daylight
our run-in looks 'easier'.

Liverpool (a) - 1 point
Newcastle (h) - 1 point
Arsenal (a) - 0 points
Man Utd (h) - 1 point
Everton (a) - 0 points
Stoke (h) - 3 points
Chelsea (a) - 0 point

The worst I can see us doing with everything going on with England.

The FA shouldn't touch Redknapp if he produces results like that! :razz:
