Today I learned that we have exactly the same number of points as last season after the same number of matches. We've scored more and conceded fewer than last season. Of the 18 matches we have left 10 are at home and 8 away. Of the away games only 2 (Dippers, Barcodes) are vs teams in the top half of the table. We do have a home game vs Man City however- at this stage it's hard to know what Man City side turns up so that'll be either a cakewalk or a nightmare game.
Of the Dippers' 19 games left 10 are away, 9 at home. Of those 10 away games they have Man City, Chelsea, Everton, Bournemouth, Villa, Forest, Brentford and Brighton as really tough fixtures.
Of course it's still theirs to lose but a 9 point swing from those comparative fixtures isn't unheard of, particularly if they defend like they did today.
Re City (as it's a City forum) I think you're too many points off it but after the game at the Emirates you have a relatively straightforward run in so if Liverpool implode, and Arsenal likewise then it could be an improbable league win. Might be worth a cheeky fiver.
