Just had a look at the remaining fixtures and I feel we should reach 34 points. I do feel that will probably be enough as two clubs will be under 30 and one just over.

Something that should be drilled in from now though is that we must not loss to Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Watford, Leicester, Burnley or Hull. Got to keep it tight and not for anyone to get away or to jump us. If you were to win them games alone that 18 points and all the games at home. They have the time to pick up points against others like Southampton, Stoke and West Brom.

I do think we will lose this weekend and will put us in relegation but maybe this is what we need to get them to see entirety of the problem. Sitting above constantly can have an affect where we may stay out of it due to the others being so poor but defiantly wrong mentality to have. Being in the bottom 3 is a lot different to being one above. Bit of reality could be exactly what they need.

I'm not confidant but trying to be positive however hard it is as nothing is good news and has not been since August where we though we may have the players to push on.

The fact is, with the squad and talent that we have, it's absurd to find ourselves in this position. 11 players not a team, we are playing with such desperation that we've forgotten how good we can be.

I'd sit them down and make them watch a few of last seasons matches to remind them what they're capable of.

I've given this some serious thought and I've come to the conclusion that, if we score more goals than we concede in each of our remaining games, we really have got a sporting chance of beating the drop.

Sam said exactly that after Bolton.
