3pts separating Watford (10th) to Stoke (17th). It's going to be a really tight run in.

 

Southampton in bottom 3 now and have Spurs next. Their game versus Brighton at end of month is bloody huge.

 

Watford look terrible now.

Such a drop. They hammered us at home.

[Ketsbaia]

Not just Southampton v Brighton next, but Stoke v Watford.

And went to shit pretty much immediately after. Typical.

Brighton continuing to do their bit

 

Shipped 19 goals in their last 10 matches.

 

0 against us.

Fortunately relegation places aren't decided solely on games against us

Been looking at the table. I honestly feel like a decent striker would keep us up. Even if it's the only addition we make. Brighton and Huddersfield are 2 of the lowest scoring teams outside the relegation spots (at 17 and 19 scored). Stokes have conceded 50! in 24 games, and Watford are running them close at 44.

 

The only teams from 9th down with a better defence than us are Brighton and West Brom, but neither can score.

It’s more positive when put in those terms.

 

I’d also say we’re in need of a decent central midfielder.

This relegation lark is going down to the wire

take your pick

Sick of these teams pulling off shock wins. We'll never pull clear.... the big 6 love a good switch-off against our rivals.

[Minhosa]

This is the one year where nobody can afford a major slump in form. Relegation zone will be like quicksand come the last couple of months of the season.

[Guest chopey]

We may need an X Factor signing at this rate

[Guest neesy111]

Home form has to pick up asap.

[Guest firetotheworks]

I think it's going to come down to goal difference tbh. 6 points between bottom and 10th is absolutely ridiculous.

[Robster]

Well done Mike.

This is ALL because of you.

[HaydnNUFC]

Home form has to pick up asap.

It's not like we didn't know it before the season started. Nothing wrong with our application, we just don't have a single player who can win games.

Absolutely mental that.

[Yorkie]

Home form has to pick up asap.

 

Luckily we've got a really patient home crowd which isn't at all utterly rife with stinking anxiety.

A slump and you're fucked. Proper fucked.

[HaydnNUFC]

We need a goalscorer. Absolutely desperate. Get one and we'll be absolutely fine.

[Minhosa]

Chrissy H under pressure too btw. Some murmurs in the Brighton press about replacing him.

 

I hope they do cos that'll take them down. He's immensely popular with their players.

I genuinely don't think the message will ever get through to those who moan at the ground at games.

[Figures 1-0 Football]

2 of the 3 teams in the bottom 3 at this stage of the season have gone down in the last 3 years.

 

Just need to avoid that last spot.

 

#hope

 

It’s never actually been this tight though.

[Guest chopey]

I think this might turn into the mother of all relegation battles.

Nope. And I really feel that, ultimately, it'll be a contributing factor to him leaving. Yes, obviously, there will be far more significant reasons for him calling it a day with us, but it was the fans that kept him the first time. If the crowd keep being arseholes to the players, after years of the manager desperately pleading with them to be the opposite, it'll make his decision to go a lot easier.
