The 6 points we should easily win are Ipswich & Southampton. Southampton have already done us twice (although not under Moyes), now Ipswich are down sometimes teams start winning once their fate is decided and the pressure is off.

More Notts Forest performances and less 1st half v Chelsea and hopefully we’ll do ok.

Yeah, I'd happily just take the 2 home wins and send off Goodison in style.

Couldn't care less about those 2 away games like

42 points
17th

Not sure we pick up another point now .

That's the spirit!

Still harbouring hopes of finishing strongly.

Anything over 40 points would have been dreamland based on the situation when Moyes walked in.

Lets go for nine points out of the last three to end the season with 48 and cost the barcodes a place in the CL!

Thought we just had Southampton & Newcastle.

was including the previous game.

Difference between finishing 13th or 16th is at least £11million based on last years prize money, would go a long way to taking pressure off PSR .

If we beat Southampton we'd be pretty certain of 13th looking at everyone's fixtures

Yeah, I really care where we finish this season. Just get every extra penny we can.

United (Chelsea, Villa) and Tottenham (Villa, Brighton) don't have the easiest fixtures, plus they'll be focusing on the EL. If they lose one match, we'll finish minimum 15th.

Wolves are away at Palace, home to Brentford, so could get anywhere between 0-6 points. West Ham are home to Forest, away to Ipswich, so they're probably our biggest rival, I'd say.

If we beat Southampton as we'd hope (although we often blow these occasions), they'd all need to win both their remaining matches to finish above us which, as we know from relegation battles gone by, is easier said than done.

I think it's easier to sell our club to potential players if we finish 13th than 15th - 16th too... We are a club on an upward trajectory since Moyes came in, new stadium... Everything is positive.

Finish 16th and it looks less positive and maybe another club looks more appealing because we're a struggling club continuing to struggle, just a little less so that when Dyche was here.

Nah don't think it matters in terms of appeal. Not many players are going to decide whether come to us based on 13th or 16th, more about how we sell the future to them. Pretty easy sell with a new stadium, manager and financial security on the horizon. If we can't sell players that we aren't doing it right

West Ham losing means we're finishing 13th unless Wolves win both of their remaining 2 games, against Palace and Brentford.
