So 9 games left to go

[woop woop barmy army]

In to single figures for games now. One last push ideally need to win 6 of these to push Europa league

Leeds
Aston Villa
Newcastle
Man City
Burnley
Brighton
Chelsea
Norwich
Liverpool

Got to play the top 3 teams which will be tough. Hopefully not going in to the last game of the season needing something and Liverpool needing to win.

But Villa is local derby, Newcastle are the form team at the moment burnley Norwich fighting to survive so all tough games.

Predictions

Beat

14 points

Would give us 60 on the nose - 7th or 8th?

 

[Brockmoorwolf]

We dont draw too many and we win slightly more than we lose so im going 5 wins 3 losses and a draw.

Leeds win H
Villa win H
Newcastle loss A
Citeh loss H
Burnley win A
Brighton win H
Chelsea draw A
Norwich win H
Liverpool loss A

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

If we win 5 games we beat our record of 59 points. Already beating last seasons total today is quite impressive!!

Leeds win H
Villa win H
Newcastle draw A
Citeh draw H
Burnley draw A
Brighton win H
Chelsea loss A
Norwich win H
Liverpool loss A

Would land us on 61 pts and also potentially European football spot too!!

11 points taking us to 57. Neck and neck with West Ham for 7th…

Would have absolutely snapped your hand off for anywhere near that before the season started.

Burnley loss would be a heartbreaker in that scenario

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Burnley loss would be a heartbreaker in that scenario

If it meant Everton going down would be worth it

 

[Tring Wolf]

Burnley loss would be a heartbreaker in that scenario

Almost on a par with that Doherty/Mike Dean penalty two years ago…

Will never understand Doherty jumping through the air with his hand in front of his face. Dean is a *****, never give him a chance to insert himself into the game.

Pretty close i think. Maybe one less win and 57-58 point total.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

I think all seven ahead of us break 60 points.

 

[SuperGran]

I think all seven ahead of us break 60 points.

We are 7th there’s only 6 ahead of us unless your a spurs fan?

 

[CelebrityWolf]

All other seven then, lets not be pedantic.

61 points.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

If we are to have any chance of Europe we need at least 6 points these next 3 games. We then also likely need a famous win versus one of the top 3. Ironically, given both our form, plus the fact they could be dead rubbers by the time we play them, the 2 away games could be our best bet.

Let’s just enjoy the ride and take it as far as we can.

 

[Stafford]

That's tough. We need to barely drop points outside our games v the top 3. Everyone around us is on fire.

Looks like Spurs have got the best run, unless they parody themselves and be really Spursy.

Looks like the fight is for 6th/7th - unless one of West Ham/us fall off the edge of a cliff in terms of form.

Both got harder games than what we have. All we can do is approach every game with the ambitions to win!!

 

[Lycaon]

Based on how the season has averaged out I reckon we’ll win 4, draw 2 and lose 3, that puts us on 60pts.

Realistically finish 7/8th unless either Man U or Spam nosedive big time then we might nick 6th?

Lots of twists and turns to go yet!

 

[Frank Lincoln]

9 games left, 27 points to play for. To quote the old saying, "take one at a time."

 

[Ercall Wolves]

I think it is highly unlikely we will be able to finish 6th but 7th is realistic with West Ham the team to catch

 

[Berlin Wolf]

As Bully said a few months back in the E&S..
We will have our ups and downs and we won’t win every single game – there’ll be some losses and draws mixed in.

For me, not enough fire power to get more but still a pretty good return.

12 points

58 points finish, about 8th.

 

[OoohRobbieRobbie]

We'll get 11 points from the 9 imo.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

3 wins 3 draws 3 losses 12 points

Wins Leeds Burnley Norwich.

Draws Newcastle villa Brighton

Losses Liverpool Man city Chelsea

 

[Hixon Wolf]

I can see us getting a win against one of the current top 3 and 3 / 4 wins over the others.

I'm going for 12 to 16 points which will give us 58 - 62 points.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

We are averaging around 1.5 points a game just over at the moment which would give us 14 points
Expect us to drop a little over the last 9 games so say 10/12 which gives us around the 57 point mark
Be surprised if we dont get around that figure, maybe even a couple points more for our best ever total in the Prem
Doubt its enough for Europe but i would be more than happy with that total,i had us around the 52 point mark earlier on this season

Spurs also have a rearranged home game v Arsenal to play

 

[Gold Flag Flying High]

I want us to do well of course but would getting top 6 really help us? After all we sometimes look bare bones trying to field a strong 11 when we have 3 or 4 injuries in the prem. The cold hard truth in my view is that we don’t have a great group of players to fight multiple competitions, we saw the after effects of playing over 50 games in the season when we had a very good run in the europa league.

I know many are probably sick of hearing this but we need to buy decent first team players which compete with or push out some of first eleven for a place. Does anyone on here have faith that fosun would buy 3 or 4 first team players if we achieved Europe? I don’t.

I still want us to achieve top 6 and with even all of what I have just said put to one side, it will be a great achievement for the club to achieve it this season with the run in that we have.

 

[fleck1]

Wouldn't even know where to start predicting the run in, we may well will all 9, just as likely to lose all 9. Beat Chelsea and City but lose to Burnley and Norwich as that's the wolves way. Think we were all a little nervous in August wondering how it would pan out and would have bitten your hand off for 8th but to be in the European conversation with 9 games left is where we all want to be.

 

[Black Coffee]

I think we win the next 3 which should give us a good platform going forward.

Leeds W
Aston Villa W
Newcastle W (I hope we batter them)
Man City L
Burnley D
Brighton W
Chelsea L
Norwich W
Liverpool L

We will probably need to win 2 of the last 3 games or 4 points out of 9 to guarantee Europa League we need points at Chelsea or Liverpool IMO.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Win 3 draw 3 lose 3

12 points.

8th finish.

I've never understood the 'I don't want europe as it will be more games' argument. People want less games so they can have a good season next year but then if you do you'll get into europe.

 

[Cuban Wolf]

**** it - I'm going for 27 points.

 

[Green Wolf]

I've never understood the 'I don't want europe as it will be more games' argument. People want less games so they can have a good season next year but then if you do you'll get into europe.

I could not agree more with every word here. The illogic of that position brilliantly exposed, theweave.

It is almost as bad as the "We aren't ready for x (e.g. Premier League football, European football, etc)" argument even if the opportunity presents itself. Baffling. My view is that you grasp every opportunity that comes your way, when it comes your way, because you never know when or if at all those opportunities may come round again.

 

[Minimalist]

I think it’s going to make a significant difference if we end up losing Neves for 3 games if he picks up that 10th booking in the next 3 games.

 

[Gold Flag Flying High]

I've never understood the 'I don't want europe as it will be more games' argument. People want less games so they can have a good season next year but then if you do you'll get into europe.

I did say I still want us to do well and get top 6. I just have trepidation about whether or not we would bolster the squad with proper reinforcements. We didn’t do that last time we got Europe and the whole team suffered, fitness form injuries etc.

 

[OLDGOLD]

I think it’s going to make a significant difference if we end up losing Neves for 3 games if he picks up that 10th booking in the next 3 games.

Yes it will, but I must say I do want to see Cundle have some more game time, but not due to a Neves ban

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

We will probably beat Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea but lose to Burnley, Leeds, Norwich and Newcastle!

Understand what you're saying, but for me you have to take any chance of playing in Europe or a cup if you can, you just never know when the chance will come again, especially foe a team of Wolves current stature.

European football could be the difference between us holding on to some of the players we have though
