How many points will be needed to stay up this season?

Dunno, but so long as the team in 18th is Notts Forest I'll be happy.

I dislike them muchly.

The usual 34-38. As ever, people are declaring teams “down” in November, and come February people will be saying “40 points might not be enough!!” and as is the case every season, both will be wrong and it’ll be mid-30’s for safety like it always is.

Would love to see them go down and see how they carry 45 players on £80k+ a week in the Championship.

Steve Cooper has the look of a man that could do with 8 months sleep.

It would do him good.

I think we just have to hope that Burnley, Sheff and Luton don’t improve. I think Bournemouth will be okay once certain players are back and they get firing. I think we will be okay though.

He got a face like the smell of gas.

Bournemouth seemed to mix it up abit this weekend which suited the forward players like Tavenier more!
When they were at Goodison the other week they were so slow and just wanted to knock the ball around far to much......similar to Burnley, who haven't learned that yet i don't think!

As others have said, the bottom teams wont be as bad as they have been so far (Luton at home to the reds has sown they are getting some sort of hang of the league a bit, so they will pick up points a bit more often, but i still don't think enough). As it stand if they all kept up the same form, they will be on for 19, 16 & 13 points respectfully! That wont happen!

I'm saying 30 points keeps you up this season though

Around the 35 point mark. A poor team will go on a good run at some point.

Thanks for the kind comments guys!

Why do you dislike us so much? We're not that bad!

Reckon 32ish will be enough this year and tough to see beyond 3 of the bottom 4 going down atm

My dislike makes little sense.

It's probably some old trauma from listening on the radio, the commentator always used to get very excited whenever Franz Carr was on the ball and I'd always fear the worst.

I felt the same when Maupay was in possession for you last year...

I've got a bet with my boss in work on the number of points 18th place will have.

Over/under bet, with the line set at 34. So 34 is a push/draw. I've got the under, he's got the over, £10 a point.

It think it's a great bet for me.

That's a lock, mate.

I'd set the over/under at 31.5, with the under costing -135
