hirstysboots Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Forget: Wolves, Fulham, Preston - they’re zero points. Sunderland, Leeds, QPR, Hull are all away so it’s anyone’s guess. If Sunderland still haven’t won a home game by the time we go there they’ll beat us convincingly. That leaves Reading and Norwich at home, both winnable, but equally they’re games we could lose. My heart says 12 points, my head is saying we might scrape 3. It depends greatly on who is going to be fit, especially as Leeds precedes a two week break. Bannan, Van Aken, Hutch, Fessi fit for Easter weekend, we might just get out of this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always stay up because of worse teams if there had been 21 teams better than us last season we would have gone down PS 4 points from last 9 games, enough to stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm an Essex Owl Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Think we'll get three draws at best possibly two. Reading, Sunderland and maybe Hull. Genuinely don't see how we get a win. Both performances this week (against very poor opposition) were frighteningly bad... Hope I am wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) 3-5 - don’t see us winning another match this season. JL’s system isn’t working with the players he has and like so many managers, there is no plan B. ..we’ll stay up by 2 points due to the dross below us Edited March 11, 2018 by Earlsfieldowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxing_day Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Impossible to say. With that 11 yesterday 3 to 6 points. Add in Bannan, hutch, ff, jva for those games and 15 points is easily attainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookieisdown Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Still not quite sure how this has gone quite so pear shaped as it has in the past three weeks - because the performance against Villa if replicated over the final nine games would be good enough to get us ten points or so. The two glimmers are that poor though we were yesterday, especially in the second half, I did think we were better than we were against Ipswich. And just two more games this calendar month.

Dronfield Blue Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 4, which should be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Personally I would probably keep the current squad for the Leeds game and hope to get a bore draw. That would give 3 weeks for the likes of Bannan, Hutch, Van Aken and Forestieri to get fit for the Easter weekend games, Preston (H) and Sunderland (A). Where maybe we could get a win from those two with the better players back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfsmith Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 It could be an exciting end to the season exactly as in 2008 when we played Norwich at home for the last match and needed to win to ensure Championship safety. 'The final goal sparked wild celebrations at a sold-out Hillsborough as the Owls ended a wretched season on a high note - and Burton was the hero of the hour. A crowd of 36,208, the biggest in the Championship this season, was a fitting send-off for the Owls and popular manager Brian Laws, whose side has been decimated by injury throughout the campaign.'

Sonny Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 8 points clear, 9 if you count a vastly superior goal difference. 9 games left, Sunderland, Birmingham and Burton at least 8 points behind and haven’t got close to averaging a point a game so far.

pride_of_the_road Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 After the international break we should have most players back bar the ones out for season. Get back to 4-4-2 as well! April should be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookowl Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 With Bannan, Hutch, Forestieri and Van Aken due back any time it should be possible to get 9 at least. If they don't come back maybe a lucky 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
