Goodison Glory Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 They might still hit my projection of 1 pt from 3 games but for now I'm happy to hold my hands up. Didn't see us scoring away against half decent sides (forest not in that bracket). Didn't think we had it in us to fight back twice instead of collapsing. We showed fight and resilience. COYB.

Popular Post Hafnia Posted March 19 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 19 That was a huge statement. Under lampard teams knew we would fold. This team doesn’t give up under dyche, that’s a massive psychological boost. plaidharper, Romey 1878, Wall Writer and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Look at the faces of the Chelsea fans behind the goal. They looked like us, we’re expecting it. That alone is testament to a new spirit and fight in this team. Palfy and plaidharper 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/premier-league/ this is interesting. Not sure how their model works but to have Palace so likely to survive baffles me, my guess is it uses last seasons position and seasons run rate to predict future results. Palace have to play lots of teams in the bottom who have more form than them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at who palace have played since Jan...it's a real horror run of fixtures (perhaps except Villa) TOT, CHE, MAN U, NCL, MAN U, BRI, BRE, LIV, ASV, MAN C, BRI, ARS. Agreed that you go that long without winning and it can start to affect you in even the easier games however that's some shit run of fixtures - if it was us we would be saying the league and some other higher power has it in for us.

If you go into matches for the games 28th March- 3rd April they throw up some interesting predictions, with Bournemouth, West Ham, and Palace to win, and Spurs huge favourites to beat us, hope they get it wrong or we could find ourselves in the bottom 3 again.

Cornish Steve Posted March 19 Author Report Share Posted March 19 It's quite amazing. Just four points separate the bottom nine clubs. I've never known that happen before at this stage in the season. We could finish anywhere from 12th to 20th. In such a situation, surely momentum carries sway. I'd be rather worried if I were Palace or Forest right now. That prediction algorithm clearly looks only at opponents and place in the table, whereas momentum is far more important. Watching Spurs v. Southampton for a bit yesterday, Spurs looked very average and beatable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPG Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 I think there deserves to be enough confidence around Everton at the moment that it really shouldn't matter who is available for the opposition. If we continue to play like we did against Chelsea and maybe a few other results go our way we can drag our but(t)s to safety with a few games to spare!

It is not desperation, I was merely noting a fact to elicit conversation amongst people with a shared interest...by your logic we shouldn't comment on which of our own players are available as either as no matter who we have available they should be giving 100% and going all out to beat whoever is in front of us.

Hoof_It_Nev Posted Friday at 10:35 Report Share Posted Friday at 10:35 My predictions, should see us safe on 38 points. It's a shame the Bournemouth game is on the last day because out of all of the teams we have left, that's a definite must win... Tottenham (h) - 1 Man u (a) - 0 Fulham (h) - 3 Palace (a) - 1 Newcastle (h) - 1 Leicester (a) - 1 Brighton (a) - 1 City (h) - 0 Wolves (a) - 1 Bournemouth (h) - 3 Holding on for a point against several teams this season is going to be very important.

Personally, I'd say we have a realistic chance of 4 points from the next two games, and that would turn the season around. Spurs, based on their performance against So'ton, are very beatable. Also, ManU's position in the table does not reflect their recent performances, which have been inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
