Well they’ve just spent thick end of £100m in January I don’t know why it’s a great surprise that they are gaining ground on us. We’re nine points clear of the bottom three.

Our games against the bottom half sides are obviously critical.

However, I really cant see Watford or Norwich surviving, whilst it's looking more and more bleak for Burnley even with their games in hand.

So saving grace is that there are definately 3 worse teams than us.

Its a very concerning time, I do not expect anything from the Chelsea game, Watford and Burnley will be difficult and are more or less must win games, then its Wolves away, City at home, Newcastle
away so the situation could be very perilous if the teams below us show improved form and we continue to find scoring difficult!

we wont go down!

You could well be right Willo, however I will only feel safe when I know our ponts total cannot be made up by at least three teams below us!

Norwich, Watford Burnley are doomed.

Doomed I tell you, doomed doomed doomed!!!!!

The nearest to us Norwich are 9 points adrift.

It's all very well saying they can catch up, but it's a very different matter on the pitch.

At best say a point a game that's 9 matches just to catch up, there are then only 5 more matches to play in the entire season.

And we, of course, would have had to lose 9 on the trot.

No comment.
