Title: 5 more games Sunderland!!
Post by: rotatopoti3 on March 16, 2008, 12:05:15 PM
There are 24 pts to play for...I think they could beat everyone there except Arsenal on any given day....Just hope it doesnt go down to the wire where Sunderland have to defeat Arsenal to stay up and Arsenal doesnt have to beat Sunderland to win the Premiership..
How many points do you think Sunderland will get from these remaining games?
 
Im hoping for 19 pts without having to defeat Arsenal...

27 points right now. they need 13 from 8 games to be safe in theory. i think it doable based on the strenght of the remaining schedule.

They need 9 points from them first 3 home matches. West Ham away from home is pretty streaky so it doable. Same goes for Man City. Middlesborough is actually a very tough team to beat on the road, plus they fighting for their lives as well and is a derby. Hopefully by the time mih birthday come round, boro will be safe and the game won't be that important for them.
The Fulham and Bolton away matches are primordial. Sunderland have to try to keep them two teams below them whatever they do. The Newcastle game is another Derby and with both teams fighting the players will have to leave blood on the field to get a point.
Aston Villa away will be a very difficult match though, pity it comes right after that great performance against Chelsea

19 points is very optimistic. I think 13 would not be a bad deal at all, provided that we don't give unnecessary points away to the teams that fighting for survival (Boro, Fulham, Newcastle

The title will be done and dusted by the time the Arsenal game comes around, so will the relegation issue, I think.  Unless there is a massive change there is only 1 spot left Fulham have something like 6 away games to play.

Sunderland have to worry about the form that wigan and birmingham showing.. those sides winning some tough games and pulling points from strong opposition..

a few of sunderland games are either derbies or against fellow relegation zoners, so it will be all out battle going on in them fixtures..

Hopefully they get the offence to click with Carlos and Richardson on the wings.. A positive is that the defence has been excellent in the last couple months

I wouldn't worry about Wigan at this point. They're ahead of Sunderland. I say worry about the sides that are behind (have less points than) Sunderland, like Birmingham, Bolton and Fulham. Yeah, it's great if yuh could catch up to a team that is ahead of you in the standings, but at this stage the more important thing is to make sure that who behind you, stay behind you!!

I think Sunderland just gotta start getting results from tougher opponents as Wigan and Birmingham are doing of late....and now even Fulham against Everton....Kenwyne needs to start putting away his chances..hopefully with Carlos back they can get that extra push to keep them up

The critical games for Sunderland are 
1) vs Bolton  on May 3, and 2) Fulham on Apr 5.   If they can win those two then they have a chance of staying up.   Both Birmingham and Reading have relatively easier schedules than Sunderland, and given that Birmingham has been playing well, it seems as though Birminham’s  chances of staying up are better than Sunderland.     Fulham’s schedule is also somewhat easier than Sunderland, and with Johnson starting to play well, and Mc Bride back, they might be able to surprise a lot people.

Cant see it personally. Fulham have 5 away games against 3 at home, they also play Sunderland Brum and Reading so not all can get all points.  99% of the time there is only 1 reason you are relegated and that is your not good enough, fans will complain about all those decisions etc, but if we are relegated it is down to being not good enough pure and simple.

The Newcastle / Boro games will be very intense fast and furious and probably tight, difficult to call a result it really does depend on which team wants it more.  Hand on Heart couldn't really say which way it will go so 2 draws.

Arsenal are looking tired, and could ( I hope) be in a Champions League final by the time the game comes around, already out of the title so what team will turn up so it maybe not as cast iron away win as most people think.


Man City are  poor away and look like they are coasting, but have some good payers still think we can win this, the only thing is we haven't won 4 on the bounce for donkey years.

Bolton are looking doomed at the minute, will the game matter by then I suspect not, but I would be disapointed if we could not get at least a draw or win from that one.
