Great Escape 2015

Second half of the season starts today and we have 13 points. Now, every fan of every team would say they should be on more points and would point to games where points were dropped but I genuinely believe we've missed a trick this term and with the addition of a Forward, CB and LB in the summer we'd be on around 20-22. Starting the season with the squad we did was a huge error.

That means we're playing catch-up and need a good transfer window.

I reckon that 35 points will be enough this season. The teams at the top are dropping fewer points this season which means we'll (hopefully) need fewer to survive.

Can we do it? What are your thoughts?

Welcome 20233, its nice to have more optimists on board - It provides a balance of views, we lost a very positive Australian poster recently, maybe you could take his place - Me personally can't see anything else but the last of the Christmas stuffing being served up today and if I'm wrong, I want you to post a taunting message on this thread

Maybe the Great Escape is NOT getting Pulis or Pardew in?

Would absolutely love to hand on heart believe we can do it, but looking at the evidence over the course of the season so far, the history of clubs in our position and the availability of quality players in January with proven prem experience, I think its unlikely we will stay up.

I take no pleasure in making that statement and if I'm wrong I will be the first to post my delight on this board.

Before the appointment of Pulis at West Brom, I was hopeful that this season could be a record low points wise for staying up. When West Brom did it, 35 points was enough - which it hasn't been in any other recent season.

With Pulis' PL record however, I would expect West Brom to turn their form around and be safe. We need to really target 38 points to have a solid chance I think. I'll post a separate thread on upcoming fixtures and points we think we can get rather than clogging up this one (will be a long post!)

When the fixtures came out, our last 10 looked very winnable but our performances against those teams in the reverse fixtures makes them now look very tough!

It'll be interesting to see your predictions BS, after such a low tally in the first half, we're gonna need a couple of shock wins to go alongside the must wins - hopefully starting today!

My head says we're doomed.

My heart says we'll make a couple of quality signings and storm the second half of the season.

Come on Leicester, do this for my heart and let's start with a win today.

By the way, my head still says we'll lose 2-0.

Nigel will get the manager of the season award if he keeps us up. Like Pulis did last season so anyway who thinks Pulis is carp then the other 19 managers in the Premiership did not. I know who's judgement i trust more.

Anyway not our concern we need to kick on a point today would be great a win and we might just be able to do it.
