That's my point, it'll very unlikely be 10+,
So factor it in now.
Relegation
Re: Relegation
We have plenty of winnable games coming with Doucoure and Onana to return soon.
Fixture list has made it look a bit rough but 5 of our last 7 are against probably the 5 other worse teams in the league.
After this weekend we have three very winnable games and Luton are up against United, Liverpool, and Villa with a cup match against City squeezed in there.
Form and momentum can shift quickly.
We do need points on the board so a win vs Palace will do us a world of good.
Can't get stuck on potential points deductions, appeals, etc - maybe we end up with more points, maybe less, maybe the same. Who knows, but with a full squad we are midtable so if we get back to that we'll do as well as we can to survive.

Re: Relegation
We will be 4pts of Luton later , Long way to go but think Luton will be ok, Forest or Palace bang in trouble
Re: Relegation
Their next three games are Man Utd (H) Liverpool (A) Villa (H) so not an easy run and hopefully a morale sapping pumping by Man City in the cup in between Liverpool and Villa.weimaranerblues wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 10:30 am We will be 4pts of Luton later , Long way to go but think Luton will be ok, Forest or Palace bang in trouble

Agree Brentford will be in trouble as well.weimaranerblues wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 10:30 am We will be 4pts of Luton later , Long way to go but think Luton will be ok, Forest or Palace bang in trouble
Re: Relegation
Absolutely no reason to believe Luton are safe. They have been on a good run but have tough matches coming up. It's not like their 8 points clear.
An injury or two to key players, some tough matches and they're likely right back in trouble.

Re: Relegation
Yeah nuts to think luton are safe, and it could be said if they fail to turn the sheff utd game around it will hit them for six
Re: Relegation
Honestly, the knee jerk reactions last week were mad. That’s Luton safe because they drew at Newcastle? Anyway, long way to go and there’ll be unexpected results as there always are. Still believe we will be fine.

Re: Relegation
Need to beat palace to get some momentum going they are not going well at the moment forest losing this evening keeps them in it too
Re: Relegation
I just don't see us finishing below Forest this season, assuming points penalties would be equal.
Re: Relegation
Forest and Palace the 2 I'm looking at.
Luton too obviously but reckon they will be OK.

Re: Relegation
Unfortunately the difference between relegation and safety for Brentford is a certain fellow by the name of Ivan Toney.
If he stays fit they will be more than fine.

I don’t get the confidence you have in Luton. Lost today and may well lose their next 3 games. A run like that is difficult to break out of.Cozzie wrote:Forest and Palace the 2 I'm looking at.
