Just noticed Lutons next 4 fixtures.
Spurs v Luton
Arsenal v Luton
Luton v Bournemouth
Man City v Luton
I know football doesn't work this way but you have to be looking at 3 defeats on paper there.
Even with a potential 2nd deduction we really would have to be utter shite to finish below Luton.
We are utter shite though?
Can’t score, can barely pass the ball, just shoot from ridiculous places lots to boost our xG and Dyche can bang on about that after every match like we’ve created some top opportunities
And whilst we were fairly solid, we’ve started conceding more
Honestly though, we probably need 6, maybe 8 more points for safety. Deduction not withstanding, that seems very much within reach.
Can't see Luton getting much more than 32 points with their remaining fixtures.
Forest hard to know but they seem well past the new manager bounce now. Good enough players to get a run going but not sure they'll get much more than 32-34 either.

Yup.
We are.
However. I do believe despite not winning in 11 it has to change soon surely.
Even if we carry on the way we are we just need one of those "in off his arse 1-0" style wins to hopefully get confidence back.
Hopefully the Portugal trip helped? We can hope.
Arsenal came back from their break a different animal, we need a similar type of bounce.
Still fancy us to put more points on the board than Luton between now and the end of the season.
I am probably about 10% worried. Bournemouth, Newcastle and Burnley next. The first two are away but if we can't beat Burnley at home then alarm bells will be ringing.

Based on how we've set up all year: 4 points from the 2 away games and 0 at home is probably more likely
I am worried can’t see where the next win comes from a team that can’t score a goal or win a game since December is in big trouble we are totally dependent on other teams being shite whatever praise dyche gets for our defensive solidity he can’t get us playing any kind of good attacking football and this will sink us especially if we get another points hit
