Kevin Carr's Gloves 4949 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Taking the Fulham results over the last 10 games and averaging out the points. If they continue then they are on course for 28 points this season. I’m not worried about Sheff utd or west brom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 11894 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 There are 8 games left where we should be able to at least not lose. We should be able to get at least 10 points to be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the match thread Alex rightly pointed out Fulham only need 4 wins to catch us, thing is they will probably only need three as we will roll over for them. I think one of the bottom three will put in a decent run at some point, hopefully not fat Sham's team. If Burnley start getting our luck it could be squeaky bum time.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I cannot see Burnley being involved in a relegation fight as the season progresses.With Chelsea and Man Utd as our next opponents,and with Wilson looking like he’s going to miss those games,damage limitation could be the order of the day.The Saint is due an ‘injury’ which will force him off during a game.

Gman 29 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Wilson out for the next 6-8 weeks. Is lal Dwight going to get a chance or are we going to watch “the turning fridge” aka Joelinton fall over his own feet until we are soundly relegated? Personally I’d like to see some tactical innovation by Bruce, play Miggy as a false 9 with ASM & Fraser either side but you know, it won’t happen so... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1837 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 It's got to be Gayle for me, even though I don't think he's good enough he's much more likely to score than Joelinton or Carroll. It's a fucking good job we beat Everton and Southampton or I would be extremely worried now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 26353 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Is this not going to be the week when Joelinton can rightly say he is getting the hang of this football lark? Edited February 11, 2021 by Dr Gloom 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 17238 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Bruce said that Joelinton wasn’t a striker the other week so expect him to be thrust in there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 17238 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Saying that, they have to keep putting him on the side closest to the bench so they can talk him through games so probably not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 39233 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I’m no doctor but maybe trying to play him for every minute in seven matches in less than three weeks mightn’t have been the best idea? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Brucey’s had a transfer window to bring a striker in and to shift one.He didn’t so if Useless Joe is selected over Gayle,Carroll and Anderson then he needs to fuck right off with any excuse regarding Wilson being a big miss so he’s had to fill his place with Useless Joe..

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I still think Fulham can get out the bottom three.With Frazier and The Saint in the team,and Lascelles out the team,we’ll still cause teams the odd problem but without Wilson,we don’t have anyone whose really interested in getting into the box.I’m far from confident that we’re in no danger of going down.

They're 8pts off 17th on 15pts, they've won 2 times this season, their points per games is 0.68. If Burnley and Newcastle keep roughly the same PpG(1.08), they'll end up on 39 and 41points respectively. For Fulham to get to 39 points, they need 24pts from 16 games, which is 1.5PpG. More than double what they've managed so far. It's a win every 2 games. If Newcastle and Burnley lose the next 10 games in a row, to catch us Fulham would still need to significantly improve their return to about a point a game just to catch us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post.Again I’m worrying where the goals will come from whilst Wilson is missing.If we edge towards the bottom three,say five points clear,do we have the characters in the team who will be up for a relegation fight.With a fully fit squad we probably have enough to keep the gap to 10/12 points but we’d still need a goal scorer for that.For me Gayle has to be the man to replace Wilson with Frazier the supplier.Frazier misses more games than he plays unfortunately.An injury to Frazier then the opposition only need to double up on The Saint well away from their box and we’re knackered.Clark and Dummitt have to play in central defence.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Fixtures Everton v Fulham. Chelsea v NUFC Burnley v Fulham. Man Utd v NUFC Fulham v Sheff Utd. NUFC v Wolves Palace v Fulham. WBA v NUFC I wouldn’t be surprised if Fulham picked up more points than us looking at those fixtures.We could easily lose those fixtures if Useless Joe is up front.
