Three wins would be so very nice.

the last couple of draws have been disappointing.

Until we get those wins I will be very anxious for us.

Well we're two matches into the much heralded run of easier matches and we've accrued 2 points.  If we fail to beat Blackburn, then the worry beads will be got out again.

When the cook creates a new recipe, there are anxious moments about the positioning of new ingredients, but as long as the right ingredients are present one can be confident of success before too long.

Lets hope the Villa can cook then.  I read somewhere Super Marc might be able to help us out!

I think we will be ok we will finish mid table i'm sure of it if we can just put our chances away and be tighter at the back then everything would be fine we do need to start winning our games against the teams around us.

I think that we will be in a nail-biter until the last couple of games.
We have an unerring capacity to leak poor goals; this will continue to serve us badly.

I think we're going to be OK as the bottom three are pretty dire, but a couple of wins would be more than welcome.  I just don't think Houllier's the man for the long term.

There are only 9 points between 8th and 20th places. It's extremely tight and none of those clubs can feel entirely secure. It would be foolish discount the possibility that we might go down but I don't expect it. We haven't fully turned the corner but we are getting there; only 1 defeat in our last 8 in all competitions is an improvement on what went before.

We'll be fine, Will be nervy in places but I'm confident we'll be top 10 or just under, we all accepted this would be a transitional season.

I do however feel that some of the fans really need to get off some of the players back's its really annoying and not helping in the slightest

Lets not kid ourselves, we're in deep trouble. Too many players out of position and bizarre tactics.
Tippy tappy stuff in your own half is pointless, we were much more effective as abreakaway team.
This will go to the wire and if we need points from the last 2 games we are fucked

I think you are being overly pessimistic, 12 points from 13 matches will be enough to stay up, we'll do that and we've taken points from the top sides already this season why shouldn't we do it again?

A couple of months ago we'd have lost that game yesterday after going down to 10 men and coming under pressure but we coped pretty well. We've still got some way to go but we have improved.

We're in not in danger of going down. 1 defeat in 8 suggests that our brittle period has past, however we do need to start winning games, as we've chucked away four points in the past two games.

We've got some good fixtures ahead of us, with only Arsenal left to play who you wouldn't fancy us against. People may like to quote that cliché of there being “no easy games”, but I rather have Blackburn, Bolton, Dinglehampton, Wigan, West Ham and West Brom etc than Chelsea, Man United, Man City, Spurs etc.

Four points from the next two league games and then a few wins on the bounce will see us secure in mid-table.

3 wins on the bounce and we are comfortably in the top half of the table. Have faith all.

Is right.

But how many times have we won three games in a row this season?

Answer: ZERO.

We've only had one lot of back to back wins, admittedly only recently.

We're still in a relegation dogfight, we can't delude ourselves.

Wolves, Blose and ourselves seem to have the 'easier' run in.

Don't envy West Ham's away fixtures and Albion and Blackpools fixtures in general.

There will be one from Stoke, Bolton, Newcastle or Blackburn who will drop like a stone and have squeaky bum time.

Our next three league fixtures are key. Seven points minimum is needed.

Which is what we'll more than likely get.

Far too much bed wetting going on.
