Norwich are going end up saving us by default

It's not them I'm worried about, it's the mackems - they're only a point  behind us, playing much better than us and pretty much guaranteed 3 points in the derby.

Yep - Allardyce is doing what he's always done. Made them organised, ugly and they're going to get harder to beat.

 

I still think we'll go.

[Optimistic Nut]

Win the 4 home games against the other teams in the bottom 7 and we probably do enough just about. That would take us to 36, you'd think somewhere in the other 8 games we'd pinch a win or scrape enough draws. No room for error though, must win those 4 games.

[Stifler]

I think Norwich will go, Sunderland doing what they do every year worries me though. The good news is that both Swansea and Bournemouth can be dragged back into this.

[Ketsbaia]

Swansea have Norwich, Bournemouth, Villa in consecutive games after Wednesday. If that doesn't pull them away, I think they're in trouble.

[Optimistic Nut]

Probably down to about a 5 after the last 4 days' events. Sunderland would have been looking for at least 3-4 points from those two games, Norwich look shot. Even if we lose tomorrow I think it's 50-50.

Not down to a 5 yet, but we still have a decent chance to get out of it. Getting a point tomorrow would be massive, but we must win on Saturday regardless.

Bournemouth and above have now done enough to stay clear. Swansea could still be dragged down but they've got some reasonable fixtures coming up and a miles better goal difference.

 

Two from three will go down IMO. Can't see how anyone is confident with those odds.

[Heron]

Bournemouth aren't safe yet like.

Bournemouth aren't safe yet like.

 

Eight points clear with a better goal difference? Howay man, they need like three wins max, possibly just two. They've won three and drawn two of their last seven matches.

Table hadn't updated to them being on 32...

[Heron]

Have you seen there fixtures though...like you cannot consider Palace an option to go down and not Bournemouth (not that you do like)...

[cp40]

just heard McClaren on the Radio- we are down.

[Disco]

Nowt to worry about man, Charners has got it all in hand. Piece of piss, just like last season.

[Sho Time]

Good thing we bolted that horse to the cart, whereas the rest of the clubs around us are driving reliant robins.

Bit out of date but you only needed 36 points to stay up last season anyway.

Tbf Ashley never said what kind of horse he would bolt to the cart.

Oh it was a thoroughbred, but the stupid twats put the bolt through its skull, we're attached to a lifeless corpse.

[Kanji]

we need 2 wins in the span of 4 days, 33% of our current win total. We don't get 6 this week we're f***ed.

 

If not - We'd have to somehow conjure up wins versus Norwich, Villa, and Swansea to get to 33 and then somehow draw 2-4 more out of my current assumption that we're losing to Leicester, Man City, Sunderland, Southampton, Liverpool, Palace, Spurs.

[Ketsbaia]

Feeling slightly better but Bournemouth are in the clear. Never thought they'd really go tbh.

 

For Swansea it all hinges on that 4-game streak. Nasty fixtures after that.

 

Sunderland and Norwich though

[Optimistic Nut]

Saturday is the 'must-win' one. While losing tomorrow would do no favours, fail to beat Bournemouth on Saturday and we're desperate.

[Away Toon]

Can we vote again soon, my 6 needs to go up a couple of notches.

[hakka]

Our away form is so drastically bad it's really hard to fathom how we will suddenly switch on at Stoke. If we lose dashingly then that will be no surprise, but if we get humped it's going to look extremely bleak for him. What's Steve had? 18 days to work solely on turning us around without the distraction of a competitive game? - will be scandalous if we rock up and pick up our third game straight losing by 3 or more goals away from home.

[George Bailey]

Massive two games coming up.

 

Must win at home to Bournemouth and IF we can get a point tonight...happy days.

I fear a loss away (obviously) and a draw at home
