Points by end of October

[CaptainKirk]

Just looking at our next 8 games, ending with Bournemouth on 28th October.

With almost a new team (which isn't even finalised yet) and the time taken to gel against some tough teams I think the table could look pretty grim by then.
I could see us with 9 points, which seemed poor at first, but would actually be a decent points per game return.

Like most, I can see us getting better results from November onwards and it could be an enjoyable ride - but it might be a little sticky before then!

[claretonthecoast1882]

Villa 3
Spurs 1
Forest 3
Man Utd 3
Newcastle 0
Chelsea 1
Brentford 1
Bournemouth 3

15 points

[Carwin261]

I reckon 7 at the most.

[ksrclaret]

So difficult to dare suggest where wins might come from in this league, but here goes:

Villa - 3
Spurs - 0
Forest - 3
Man Utd - 1
Newcastle - 0
Chelsea - 0
Brentford - 0
Bournemouth - 1

8 points there. I’d take it I think going into some slightly kinder fixtures in November and December.

2nd half of the season is when we’ll take off

[Holtyclaret]

As far into double figures as possible but 9 would be great. We’ll deffo get stronger as season goes on.

[HahaYeah]

I think threads like this are a bit daft. Games don’t always pan out how you would imagine. There’ll be some surprises in that list of fixtures.

[CaptainKirk]

A bit daft???
It's a bit of fun.

What would you call 254 pages and nearly 13,000 posts of people arguing with each other over possible incomings and outgoings and getting every single one wrong!

[dougcollins]

Spurs actually look way better than last season.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Villa 0
Spurs 0

[JohnMac]

Realistically 7
Hopefully 11
Dreamily 12

[Guller Bull]

Villa 1
Spurs 3
Forest 1
Man Utd 3
Newcastle 0
Chelsea 1
Brentford 1
Bournemouth 3

It's mightily optimistic but the sun is shining and the Malbec is open.

[PremierLeagueClass]

We just need to get the first win early as possible, huge psychological boost once that’s out the way.

[claretburns]

Burnley 1-2 Aston Villa - 0
Burnley 1-2 Tottenham - 0
Nottingham Forest 0-2 Burnley - 3
Burnley 2-2 Man Utd - 1
Newcastle 3-1 Burnley - 0
Burnley 2-1 Chelsea - 3
Brentford 1-1 Burnley - 1
Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley - 1

9 points.

[FCBurnley]

I’ll go for 7. This ain’t the Championship

[Nonayforever]

I think 12 points.
Posters are underestimating ourselves and overestimating established teams.
This season will be totally different to our last PL journey.

[Boss Hogg]

7 or 8

[AfloatinClaret]

Ten points

[BleedingClaret]

7
I’d be happy enough considering the fixtures
And I’d think then 8 from the next 9
9 from the next 9
10 from the next 9
34 points 2 games left
Survival in our own hands

Maths failure forgot to include the City game
Last game a must win

[jurek]

I think it will take some time before VK will know
and be able to field his best 11 so I'm not expecting too much from
our first 8/9 games.
Maintaining our belief alongside Improvement in our performances
and getting a few goals will be key for me.

So I'd be surprised and relatively happy if we manage to get more
than 5 o 6 points from our first 9 games with a not too disastrous goal difference.

Not unlike last season when it took 5 or 6 games for us to gel and start
putting a few wins together.
Except that it's likely to be tougher in the Premiership especially
with the number of new players we'll have.

I'm going for 12 points mate

[BleedingClaret]

I'm going for 12 points mate

Hope you’re right pal

[claretonthecoast1882]

I think threads like this are a bit daft. Games don’t always pan out how you would imagine. There’ll be some surprises in that list of fixtures.

Of course it is a bit daft, if it was serious I would never have put us to lose at Newcastle

[corporal jones]

cant see more than three points tbh!

[Corky]

I also think only 3.

[ElectroClaret]

Burnley 1-2 Aston Villa - 0
Burnley 1-2 Tottenham - 0
Nottingham Forest 0-2 Burnley - 3
Burnley 2-2 Man Utd - 1
Newcastle 3-1 Burnley - 0
Burnley 2-1 Chelsea - 3
Brentford 1-1 Burnley - 1
Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley - 1

9 points.

I'd snatch your hand off for 9 points from those games.

[Lowbankclaret]

Think at best we will get 6 points.

[Clive 1960]

Before season started i thought maybe 7 but I'm not sure now so i will say 4 or 5 and win or a point today would help. UTC

[leelad]

Go on I'll play along, but as we know in this league points come up where you least expect them.

Villa 0
Tottenham 3 sneaky feeling we will get something here
Forest 1
Man Utd 0
Newcastle 0
Chelsea 1
Brentford 1
Bournemouth 3

Total 9

[CaptainKirk]

Well, doesn't time fly when you are having fun.

Leaving out the Luton game, which was not included at the time of posting - the results are in!

Not even the most pessimistic amongst us thought we would have the grand total of 1 point from those games.

If I have checked correctly, we have a 3 way win between Brexit, Corporal Jones and Corky who all predicted 3 points.

If anyone fancies another go, the next 10 ending with Aston Villa away could bring us 8 points in my view.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Palace 0
Arsenal 0
West Ham 0
Sheff Utd 3
Wolves 0
Brighton 0
Everton 0
Fulham 1
Liverpool 0
Villa 0

4 point's from these Ten game's making a grand total of 8 points from our first 20 game's

[StayingDown4Ever]

Assuming Vincent is still in charge by the end of this run of games, the best I can hope for is:

Palace 1
Arsenal 0
West Ham 1
Sheff Utd 3
Wolves 0
Brighton 0
Everton 0
Fulham 1
Liverpool 0
Villa 0

A measly six points.

[gandhisflipflop]

Palace 3
Arsenal 0
West Ham 1
Sheff Utd 3
Wolves 3
Brighton 0
Everton 3
Fulham 3
Liverpool 0
Villa 0

[ksrclaret]

I think we all know that if we continue to play as we have done in the first 10, we'll likely pick up another 3-4 points in the next 10. And that's probably being optimistic as the confidence by then will be lower than ever.

I'll give it a go though based on the HOPE that Kompany will finally learn something and set the team up properly, starting on Saturday with a big reaction to our recent pathetic displays.

Palace 3
Arsenal 0
West Ham 1
Sheff Utd 3
Wolves 1
Brighton 0
Everton 1
Fulham 1
Liverpool 0
Villa 0

So there we'd have another 10 points, taking us to 14 overall after 20 games.

[IanMcL]

No way back if that is what happens!

[Carlos the Great]

So we only got 1 point from those games

[Acting Claret]

I can’t see us getting any points from any games if we carry on playing the way we are.

[Boss Hogg]

Based on what I’ve seen to date I’ll say 4 from the next ten and at a stretch 5.

[HahaYeah]

I was one point out, I badly underestimated Aston Villa.

Palace 1
Arsenal 0
West Ham 0
Sheff Utd 3
Wolves 1
Brighton 0
Everton 0
Fulham 0
Liverpool 0
Villa 0

[JarrowClaret]

Not going to predict but there are 4 or 5 of them games that we could quite easily win, but with the way we are playing at the minute it would not surprise me if we lost all of them. I am confident at some point we will start to get results though and play better just hope it happens before it is too late.

[Murger]

Unless we have a radical shift in how we are performing, then we’ll get no points.

[JohnMac]

Dream bigger

Dreams are simply dreams and often become nightmares
