So that's 4 of the so called "winnable 11" down and we have won just one and taken 5 points from 12.

The only positive thing I can think of is that at that rate of progress we'll almost certainly stay up.

Indeed we will but 6th spot was there for the taking imo.

I had thought 40 would be enough but all teams seem to be picking up wins here and there and I think it might take 42 now.  And after today I'm not convinced we will get them.

43 to guarantee safety I think. Its going to be bloody tight between 18-8.

42 for me too, it's gonna be nailbiting if we need something from Arsenal and Liverpool, but I think we'll be ok... roll on next season.

42-44, I just hope that we don't need to beat the Scousers, it will be very close.

I love these threads.  After having a go on the BBC predictor I reckon 41 will be enough.

That means 8 more points which on paper should be easy, but with our defence will no doubt be hairy.  Wigan and Stoke have never lost at VP in the Premiership.  I think Albion away will be a tough game as well.  I think we'll do Newcastle and Wolves and pick up at least a couple of draws.

I know we are only three points off the drop zone, but there a number of teams between us and there. We'll be fine.

What do the history books say when it comes to linking relegation and goal difference? Are the three teams that go down usually also the ones with almost the worst, if not the worst goal difference.
If so, I think all the teams up to us can consider themselves prime relegation material. We'll probably slip a bit lower as the other teams play their games in hand etc.

I reckon 42 or 43 will be enough we can get the points we need in the remaining games we have left i'm positive we will be ok.

43 to be sure, as our goal diff is not as good as some.
