Still anyone in the bottom half can go.

Have a feeling for West Ham. Be great if it was them, seaweed and wba.

Can’t see West Ham dropping, just getting all their players back and have 2 winnable home games next. Would be funny but doubt it, would like anautavic if they do.

I really cannot understand how there are those who believe that we will survive.

Just look at our next 4 games - At best we could pick up a point.Then to the next more "Winnable" games as presented.Watford Away - Watford have won 3 of their last 4 Home games and have only lost of their last 5 games under new manager Garcia.
Stoke under Lambert have only lost 1 of their last 6 games.
Bournemouth are unbeated in their last 5 Home games and we have to play them on their patch.

We are really in a dire situation.

if we get nothing from Man U, Chelsea, and Liverpool so be it. But in no particular order we have Huddersfield, Bournemouth, West Brom, Brighton, Stoke , Leicester and Watford to play in the run in and on our day we can hold our own and could win against them all. Certainly achieve 12 points from those games. The only down side is that we have to win some of these games. Hopefully when zaha is back we get the boost he gives and win a couple and same with RLC.

Watford - we've already beaten them once
Stoke - we've already beaten them once
Bournemouth - we'd have already beaten them once too if Tekers hadn't been such an idiot.

HTH.

Because the teams around us have to play the top 6 teams too, most of them have more of them to play than we do.

As things stand, we only have to win one more game than any two from Swansea, West Ham, Huddersfield, Newcastle, Southampton and Stoke.

We have lost 5 league games since the end of October, beaten Chelsea, drawn with City.

I think we will go in to the last 6 games still on 27 points.
Those are the games that will decide where we play next season.
I can't see us getting anything at Huddersfield even though I am going.
Some of the others around us also have to play the top teams.
I feel sure West Brom have gone.
Stoke - not pretty and their last two games are us and Swansea - I don't fancy our chances up at Stoke I have to say.
Southampton's don't look too bad.
Newcastle should be fine.
Huddersfield need to be safe with two games to go but other than that have an ok set of fixtures.
West Ham need to be very careful indeed with their fixtures - I expect to see them in the mix.
Swansea will be safe as will the others above them in my opinion.
Can we do it - who knows.
If I had to stake my life on it I am sorry to say that I see us in the Championship next season - our injuries are killing us and even when fit these guys will not be match fit.
I do so hope I am wrong!
It could all be down to Wilf!

People call myself grumpy and miserable you are awful how you can right us off already is shocking.

the way the current table stands is we need 1 point to be level with team outside relegation zone taking us to 28 points with 10 games left so we need only a point in each game which you could say wont happen so we need only few wins which is possible.

stop looking at stats evidence shows they do not mean anything they are the past if we went with stats Palace should of been dead and buried now.

And you are an optimist but what is it based on, amateur forecasting.

Last season we had a successful transfer window with the acquisitions making a major contribution.

The players will give their best I know and let's hope we get some breaks and it is enough.

As far as I am concerned they are not mutually exclusive.

I can be both pessimistic and optimistic according to the circumstances and realism can be applied to both.

I have looked at our situation from various angles, taking into consideration various factors and I'm afraid the conclusions all point to relegation.

So Willo what do you actually suggest?

Possibly, but also based on the games everyone has left to play. We were always likely to slide into the relegation zone this week or next.

Even if we get out of it o Monday, we can drop back in after Chelsea. People need to stop overreacting to individual results. As for Willo's stats, we haven't lost at Bournemouth since 1988 (which is just as relevant as the tosh he posts, i.e. not at all)
