Forest are realistically the team we can still rely on to fall away over the last 8 games. Even if we lose to them, we’ve still got the capability with our remaining fixtures, especially compared to the run they’ve got.

They’ve got 3–4 difficult games back-to-back in the last five. The only real gimmes look like Burnley and the final game of the season.

Villa – H
Burnley – H
Sunderland – A
Chelsea – A
Newcastle – H
Man U – A
Bournemouth – H
 
Wolves' next two games are Spam and Leeds.

Thank god for their recent run of form.

They could really help us out. 🤞

*they got us straight after that, so can be shit in that game please.

In the EPL they have not won since Jan 25.
Last 7, D4 L3.
My guess is this form will continue and NF will draw 4/5 more, maybe win one and draw 4. Max points 7.
I reckon we need and will get at least one win and 3 draws to finish above them.
Be handy if that win came this weekend.
Great that we have all 3 strikers fit and Tel and Xavi and others are due a goal.
 
This is clearly unlikely but I don’t think wolves will think they are out of it.

(A) West Ham
(A) Leeds
(H) Spurs

They will be looking at that as a possible 9 points with the way they’ve been playing. Until they drop 1, I think they’ll keep fighting. But even if they get 9, they’d need another 9 to 35 and have a chance.

After that, the last 4 are

(H) Sunderland
(A) Brighton
(H) Fulham
(A) Burnley

Surely they can’t?

Would be one of the most memorable stories in the prem era I think. But like you said, 'until they drop 1'. It's bound to happen and burst their belated momentum.

Hopefully it's us that ends it and not before.

Shame mind, I'd far rather see Wolves stay up than the likes of Forest and West Ham.
 

WHU are 1-3-1 last 5. They are not scoring many goals but they look good defensively.
I'll wait to see how they do against Villa on Sunday.
Villa have EL game at 8pm on Thursday.
Signing Diasi has been their saviour fucking Chavs!
 

Leeds 3 draws and 2 losses last 5. Failed to score in their last 3 EPL games.
Brentford have scored 8 in their last 4. I think they lose to the Bees on Saturday and then lose away to United the game after.
Yeah - it's a long shot but hopefully Leeds get properly dragged back into it. They have the weakest squad of the 4 teams in the relegation battle so if they lose confidence they don't really have any star players like Bowen to single handedly get them results.

Unfortunately they also still play Burnley and Wolves at home but the latter are at least in good form.

Also just noticed they play West Ham in the cup. Good that at least one of them will have another game in the next round to distract them.

West Ham are 5th in the form table over the last 10 games. They're going to get more points, that much is fairly evident. They're a very well organised side now, even if they don't score many goals, they're grinding out results at the pace of a CL team right now.

Forest are the only ones we're realistically in competition with for that last spot. If we can win there, that'd be absolutely massive and I'd like our chances a lot more.
 
Was quite a reality check on Sunday watching the games in the pub . Had utd v villa on competing for CL places , but the game that we had to be interested in was palace v Leeds because we are in a relegation battle . Quite a strange feeling . Even if we manage to stay up, we will be in it again under these owners .
 
That performance on Sunday has to give the team some much needed confidence.
I'm not sure how much the goal tending performance will affect the team but the players themselves have to feel good about getting a point at Anfield.
I personally think the game could be a turning point!!
Wasn’t just a lucky result like the early points under that dickhead Frank. Performance was good, as was the effort. The front pair were a joy to watch

Form changes.
Match day 11-20. Top of the form league. Villa.
Match day 21-30. 18th in the form league. Villa.

West Ham’s next game - Villla away. 3 points for West Ham then?
On form only they should get at least a draw.

It’s a funny old game. Let’s see what happens.

They'll need 21 points from their last 7 games.....


Considering that they've only got 17 points from the first 31 games I'd have to say no chance in a million years.

Even with their tremendous form the last 6 games they're still only averaging 1.5 points a game which would mean they reach 32 points.


They've left it too late
