Topic: How many points do you expect in the next 5 matches 2017-18 edition

[Garnier]

I usually don't do this, so i'll give it a try

Leicester (A) Loss - Like a repeat of last season's game, the space in behind the defenders will be exploited by Vardy's speed
Newcastle (A) - Win - Won't be vintage but we'll get the job done, much like the win at West Brom earlier this year.
Man United (H) - Draw - We'll concede early and eventually get a hard fought equaliser
Spurs (A) - Loss - We'll be going toe to toe with them but the defense will eventually concede and we'll collapse
Huddersfield (H) - Win - We'll perform well but eventually concede, giving the game a nervy finish

Predicted 7 points, got 8

[PoetryInMotion]

8 in 5 games is below Top 4 level. We seriously need to up it if we have to compete with the teams who've shown serious intent so far.

Leicester (A) - W
Newcastle (A) - D
Man United (H) - D
Spurs (A) - L
Huddersfield (H) - W

I haven't been this pessimistic even during our slump last season and it's another 8 points I'm predicting, but we need to do a lot better than that. Another 8 points and we'll be chasing the Top 4 pack from way behind.

Wow, gotten every single result right. And we're chasing the Top 4 pack now.

Unfortunately, I'm not half as good in the Prediction Leagues, where the tables are drawn for the predictions 

[WisconsinRed]

West Ham (a)-0
Southampton(h)-3
Chelsea(h)-1
Stoke(a)-1
Brighton(a)-3

8 points I think which will probably leave us 6-7 points of the top 4.

[PoetryInMotion96]

West Ham (a)- 3
Southampton(h)-3
Chelsea(h)-0
Stoke(a)-1
Brighton(a)-3

10 points, pretty confident of this too.

[Ma Vie en Rouge]

West Ham (a)- 3
Southampton(h)-3
Chelsea(h)-3
Stoke(a)-3
Brighton(a)-3

Boom.

[Keith Lard]

 I always tend to be overly optimistic but this time i give my predictions as a betting man.

West Ham (a)- 3
Southampton(h)-3
Chelsea(h)-1
Stoke(a)-1
Brighton(a)-3

 I expecte a reaction after the recent bad run.  We are due an uptick in form and should be getting a decent haul of points against this run of opposition

[killer-heels]

We have to be targetting at least 3 wins from the next 5 games. Not fussed in what order.

Looking at the games, anything less than 3 wins would be a terrible return. Some of our rivals also have games against each other in this run so if we are in anyway serious about being good in the league then we have to perform, otherwise its just hope and warm words.

[Koprich]

West Ham (a)- 3
Southampton(h)-1
Chelsea(h)-0
Stoke(a)-1
Brighton(a)-1

6 points from 5 isn't a good tally but just don't fancy us in the big games at the moment with our injuries and lack of a functional defence (if Lovren's confidence wasn't already obliterated, the death threats will have finished him & Klavan is extremely accident-prone so will have good games and terrible games).

If Lallana comes back from injury well or someone like Oxlade steps-up in terms of consistent creative/offensive output, those draws against Stoke and Brighton could become wins which would give us 10 from 5 which is much better. With 10 out of 5, we may catch Arsenal before Christmas.

[JohnBarnesBigToe]

West Ham (a)- 3

[Sauly96]

West Ham (a)-3

Optimistic.

[ManiacKop]

I’m gonna go for

WHU 2 Liverpool 2
Liverpool 3 Southampton 1
Liverpool 1 Chelsea 1
Stoke 1 Liverpool 4
Brighton 0 Liverpool 3

Miserable contrarian

[Bergersrightwingviews]

We really need to get 2 points a game over these fixtures.

I think we can do it as well.

West Ham (a)- 3
Southampton(h)- 3
Chelsea(h)-1
Stoke(a)-3
Brighton(a)-3

That is what we should be aiming for and that would give us 13. Throw in a draw against one of those teams and we are still on 11. That should be the bare minimum we are aiming for.

Spot on my friend. West Ham and Stoke are packed with more over-the-hill trash than seen every week on the X Factor's judge's table. And there's no Nicole Scherzinger to light either up. Both clubs are in danger of being involved in relegation battles this season and as such their fans will be discontented and we should take advantage of that.

Southampton and Brighton will be much more solid but neither have the pace to scare us on the counter. And Chelsea? I genuinely believe we're better than them and it's the perfect opportunity to get our big-game mojo back.

Fuck 11 or 13 points. 15 points is what we should be aiming for.

[redk84]

Leicester (A) - 3
Newcastle (A) - 3
Man United (H) - 3 
Spurs (A) - 1
Huddersfield (H) - 3

13 points. season back on track

Hmm....expected more 

Hopefully the bounce back happens on this run of games.....

West Ham (a)- 3
Southampton(h)- 3
Chelsea(h)-3
Stoke(a)-1
Brighton(a)-3

13 points

[RedAdwat]

13 points from that batch. Back on track with some decent results. On to the next 5:

Everton (H)
West Brom (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Arsenal (A)
Swansea (H)

I've been a good boy this year Father Christmas, 15 please.

[burriana]

Everton (H)
West Brom (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Arsenal (A)
Swansea (H)

13 should the minimum we're looking for from that. If we play to our best, 15 is a real possibility.

[Qston]

Everton (H)
West Brom (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Arsenal (A)
Swansea (H)

13 should the minimum we're looking for from that. If we play to our best, 15 is a real possibility.

And I think 13.is what it will be. Same as last set with the arsenal away game a draw like Chelsea in the last set was.

Do that and we will be comfortably set within the top 4 and who knows how close to the top 2 we will be but with 13 points I would expect us to be 3rd with a decent gap to 5th

[Tjfruits]

15

Well the top 2 play each other in that run of games.

[sms1986]

I got 4 right at least!

West Ham (A) - 3
Southampton (H) - 1
Chelsea (H) - 1
Stoke (A) - 3
Brighton (A) - 3

Almost all correct, although Liverpool exceeded even my expectations!

As for the next lot -

Everton (H) - 3
West Brom (H) - 3
Bournemouth (A) - 3
Arsenal (A) - 3
Swansea (H) - 3

The first two I am most confident about, but no reason why we can't get five wins out of five.

[Suareznumber7]

Great last set of 5.  Let’s hope we can keep it up for the next 5 and continue to move up the table. 

Last set of 5

West Ham (A) - 3
Southampton (H) - 3
Chelsea (H) - 1

[Gnurglan]

Everton (H) - 3
West Brom (H) - 3

We need 12 or more. It’s crucial for us to win those four if we are to challenge for a CL spot or even the title.

Same here.

11 Pts, from the next batch of 5.

West Brom (H) - 3
Bournemouth (A) - 1
Arsenal (A) - 1
Swansea (H) - 3

11 Pts, from the next batch of 5.

This is my prediction as well

[redk84]

Excellent run in that last 5 games.....brings us back to par.

Here's what I think will happen now:

Everton (H) - 1 (Allardyce effect)
West Brom (H) - 3
Bournemouth (A) - 3
Arsenal (A) - 1
Swansea (H) - 3

11 points will be a decent return

[Ndeyanka]

Everton (H) - 3
West Brom (H) - 3
Bournemouth (A) - 3
Arsenal (A) - 1
Swansea (H) - 3

13pts

[LallanaInPyjamas]

West Brom (H) - 3
Bournemouth (A) - 3
Arsenal (A) - 1
Swansea (H) - 3

11 points will be a decent return

I'll go with that.

40 points after 20 games would be a solid return and almost certainly see us remain in the top four heading into the New Year.
