With every defeat it feels more and more like we may be finally relegated however although the Villa as a patient are critical there is still time to recover, in Lamberts first season we were on 30 points after 31 games and in the bottom 3 but somehow made it to safety and a points total of 41, not saying for one minute we will get close to that tally but 35/36 may still be possible which I think will be enough, I think the first league win under Sherwood will galvanise the players but that win has to come very soon.

Realistically 4 games are write offs leaving -
Newcastle a - loss
WBA h draw
Sunderland a draw
Swansea h loss
QPR h win
West ham h loss
Everton h draw
Burnley h win
 32 points

We're only going to score 2 goals and still get 8 points? And a team will stay up on 31 points. The nerdlingers should stick to dongle jokes.

And Southampton 3rd? That table is bollocks.

As bad as we are, we could get something from the West Ham and Swansea home games.

Who we beat comes into it too. Four wins over Albion, Sunderland, QPR and Burnley might do it.

Only once since the league went to 20 teams has 31 points been enough to stay up.

From 2000 onwards the sides in 18th have had 33, 34, 36, 42, 33, 34, 34, 38, 36, 34, 30, 39, 36, 36, 33.

From those figures, on average 36 points keeps you up. This season ourselves, QPR, and Burnley are set to get 32 points at our current rates. Allow for a slight improvement as the crunch really kicks in and I'm concluding that somewhere between 34-36 will be the safety mark this season.

We need a minimum of 4 wins, with a draw or 2 also.

At the end of the day irrespective of where the points need to come from if we cannot achieve 15-16 points between now and the end of the season we will deserve exactly what will happen to us. I don't look at any game as being anymore winnable/loseable than the other because quite frankly we have looked abysmal for the most part yet are capable of pulling off the odd shocker. But however we do it, we just need to and not rely on the help of any other side.

It's even simpler than that in my mind. All we need is to better the results of Burnley, QPR and Leicester over 12 matches. If we can't do that we really do deserve relegation.

Trying to find lists that are copy and paste friendly so as to provide a comparison.
