I don't think we're going down, but it's not gonna be a bunch of new players that guarantee us to stay up if we keep losing.

I think our away form is disgraceful even for a club that is rock bottom, and that's never gonna change as long as Pardew is our manager: it's safe to say we could actually lose away to any single team from League Two to EPL, and that's mainly due to the ridiculous approach we have the minute we put our feet on the pitch. You just can't give away 45 minutes every time and play the other 45 mostly trying not to concede and hoping to nick a wondergoal from somewhere.

 

We got a better squad now, no doubt about that, but we struggled as hell at Villa, we struggled to beat Southampton (somehow good performance, but apart from the 4 goals, of which one was a comical own goal and one was a penalty, the keeper didn't even touch the ball the whole game), we struggled to beat Metalist (and we have to thank their defender for the gift).

The only really good game was with Chelsea, the rest is just not good enough.

Now, we certainly improved since the disaster of November/December, but we're far from being safe imho.

And if we can't even think about a win away till the end of the season it's gonna be a hell.

Agree and disagree with what you say. We've been utterly shite this season but I thought both the performances against Metalist away and Southampton at home were good performances. If we piss about against Stoke at home a week today though and fail to put them away then things will start getting nervy again.

1. We're 9 points clear of the drop, it'd take a canny set of fuck ups now.

 

Having said that, I reckon two wins and two draws would do the trick. That'd take us to 40 points and I can't see Wigan getting 16 points from 10 games (even with their usual late surge), or QPR or Reading getting 17 points from 9 games.

1, 9 Pts clear with less the 10 games to go, it would take a serious fuck up, plus we have Wigan next week, so there is the potential to be 12 clear.

Those three points we lost to Swansea would look mighty good on the table right now. :(

 

Even if we'd just held on for the draw down there, we'd be 10th only 4 behind them.

Stoke have taken just 4 points from the last 9 games, Sunderland are next worse with 8 points. Even if we went on a slump now that was similar to these two teams we would finish up with a points total between 37 and 41 points, I think we are safe.

 

Stoke's form is spectactularily (is that even a word if it is I'm sure I've spelled it wrong) bad.
