5 team league

by windermere_royal » 02 Mar 2013 18:38

As it stands at the moment

Southampton 7pts
Wigan 4pts
Villa 4pts
Reading 3pts
QPR 0pts

Villa have a game in hand against Man city and Wigan have 45 minutes to turn around a 3 goal deficit against Liverpool.
Theres going to be some twists and turns to come but looking at QPR`s upcoming fixtures it hard to see them staying bottom for very long.
our horrendous March will probably see us at the bottom come April, we can`t really afford to be more than 6 points adrift of 2nd place.
As good as we made Wigan look last week they really are a poor side and I think they are nailed on for the drop, that leaves 4 teams battling to stay away from the last 2 places.
I am not optimistic, in effect we only have 6 games left given our form against the big teams, arguably we need 4 wins and two draws from that lot.

Wigan now 0 4.

Obviously it is going to be difficult, and Villa not beating City on Monday is important.

But all five clubs are still very much in with a chance. Why not us?

( that's a rhetorical question, Ern, m8).

So we're going to come 5th in a 5 team league. There's a reason to be optimistic.

Expected us to beat Wigan but the goal difference could be important. Doing Reading and the others a big favour by stuffing them.

Antithesis of last year - Possible 5 to go up- we win games we didn't expected to lose and came top. This year - possible 5 in the race - we will lose games we are expected to win and come bottom. Down.

Looking at that, my stab is:... Wigan... Villa.... Reading to go down.

If we cannot beat villa we will have to much to do following the next two tough games to
make up ground on those above. The problem is we are not playing well and lack the quality. We are likely to leak goals and we do not take enough of our chances.

It is 100% over if we do not win on Saturday. Hope we do not bottle it again! Our so called big name players(lol) did not turn up against Wigan. No excuses on Saturday.

It could be argued even a draw will send us down too, yes we are only a point behind but the fixture list does us no favours

It won't be 100% over though will it?

Let's just hope it doesn't come down to the final game of the season between Wigan and Villa where a point a piece for each of them will see them both survive at our expense ....

Of coarse you are right, but hard to see where we will be able to make up the points to keep us up if we loose.

Reality is, it's do or die for both sides on Saturday.
