How many points from first 4 games ?

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Aug 03, 2019 5:10 pm

10+ would be amazing
6-9 would be a great start
4-5 would be average
3 or less would be poor

I dont see us getting more than 4 but remember that win at Chelsea !!

I'd be happy with 4 points. Can't expect anything from Arsenal and Liverpool

4 pts would be excellent
3 pts would be good
2 pts would be ok

How we got on in Sept will give us the first real indication of what kind of season its gonna be

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Sat Aug 03, 2019 5:22 pm

2 points.

4-6 would be a great start considering the teams to play

Given we took 12 points from the 1st 19 games last season and ended up on 40 I don't see any pointers for the final tally in this early season stuff

Stop being silly 12 for me

3 v saints, with a proper pre season and a fresh squad, we'll be ready for the off.
3 v gunners, they won't be ready for us, tight game but the one goal difference should be enough.
3 v wolves, they'll be disorientated after their early start to the season, we'll take advantage.
3 v scousers, for no other reason than I'm feeling optimistic, and anything can happen with SD in charge.

In reality 6 would be a decent start, 8 would be great, all 12 would set us up nicely for a good season.
The only thing that I hope for is that we're not half season wonders, let's be good for at least 2/3 of a season, that would be real progress.

Agreed - be very happy with 6.

Six would be great.
Sadly, can only see three or four.

4 would be very good from fixtures including away games at teams finishing 5th and 7th last year + at home to Liverpool.
In early season, though, the "big" teams are sometimes still bedding in and can be more vulnerable - so let's hope for more.

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Sat Aug 03, 2019 6:49 pm

42+ points from 38 is far more important than how many from 1st 4 games.... a season is defined over more games than 4

I think we'll tie with Saints on the opening day. They're going to be a strong, pacey and aggressive outfit who will press us relentlessly. 2-2.

I think we'll lose to Arsenal and Liverpool who will just have too much for us.

Then I think we'll draw 1-1 at Wolves with us taking the lead and taking advantage of their jaded start. Then they'll equalise.

So I guess that'll put 2 points on the board.

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Sat Aug 03, 2019 8:59 pm

Nothing really to base a points hail prediction on yet. Need to see how we set off.

tim_noone · Post by **tim_noone** » Sat Aug 03, 2019 9:16 pm

A point at Arsenals about it...

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Sat Aug 03, 2019 9:39 pm

Realistically 4. (3 v Saints and 1 v Wolves)

Anything more than 4 is a bonus. Anything less is not good.

10.

Three wins, then a draw against Liverpool.

I would be very, very happy with 4.

COBBLE · Post by **COBBLE** » Sun Aug 04, 2019 12:45 pm

a win and a draw would be OK.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Aug 04, 2019 1:31 pm

12 plus bonus points.

Holtyclaret · Post by **Holtyclaret** » Sun Aug 04, 2019 1:40 pm

We need to average a point a game minimum so 4 would be excellent but anything 2 or over would be solid.

Spike · Post by **Spike** » Sun Aug 04, 2019 3:52 pm

12 as the Knobenders always say “ it must be our turn this year”

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Aug 06, 2019 12:57 pm

4 would be a solid start,with 2 winnable games,Brighton (a) Norwich (H) to follow,we need to ensure we beat the bottom-high sides at the Turf,if we can do that on a regular basis,we're halfway towards survival.

I'll take another point from our next 3 games. But we are more than good enough to spring up 3-4 more points.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Aug 10, 2019 10:25 pm

Today's win means the pressure's off at the Emirates,surely we're due a result down there.

Wolves might be distracted by their EL campaign as we were last year,can't see anything against the Scousers but we usually give them a game at the Turf.

It's amazing how important getting points on the board is for confidence,we got a great early win at Chelsea 2 seasons ago,and everything sprung from that.

No Ney Never · Post by **No Ney Never** » Tue Aug 13, 2019 12:46 pm

Saturdays result means anyone who said 1 or 2 points are out of it. Anyone with 3 or more are still in it for now. The 12 pointers need a win at the Emirates to remain in the game, come on you Clarets!

J_Grimshaw · Post by **J_Grimshaw** » Tue Aug 13, 2019 12:56 pm

Still reckon 3. But if we win at Arsenal (which we won’t) we are briefly top of the league (top of the world ma)

Won't we be top with a draw as well, due to a better GD than Arsenal?

12 for me but then lose 10 due to Drinkwater not been registered properly

Very confident about the Emirates for a change. Good ref and VAR makes for a level playing field. Arsenal not that impressive at the weekend. I think we can nick a point and have a feeling it might even be 3.

After the first 4 games I’m hoping to have 7 or 8 points.
