What are their run-ins like compared to ours?


Much, much worse. All of them.

I see what you mean.

The key thing is, they've all got tough games in the next month, whereas we've got a fairly 'nice' month, if we can get something against Newcastle and take confidence from that we could put a few points between us and those 3 by the end of easter.  As important as anything else I can see all of them taking a bit of a kicking once or twice so I expect goal difference to not be such a big issue by then either.

I can't imagine that our trip to the Etihad will be anything other than our usual annual kicking either though, which will take it back to it's current level.

Going to be an "interesting" last day.
I didn't realise that QPR v Leicester was also last day. 

We could end up with any 3 from 4 on the last day and even a win not being certain of keeping us up. Is there a shitting yourself smiley?

All we need is more points than three others, looking at how many points we need is purely hypothetical as we don't know how many our apponents will get.If we do survive Randy Lerner will be one lucky man.

I think the number we will need is 36 {+1 point due to our GD} so 37 points .
15 points needed , 4 wins and 3 draws
Wins - QPR burnley Sunderland Everton
Draws - Newcastle Swansea WBA

It's do-able but there is so little margin for error now .

Newcastle is all important. Awful as we are, we have the ability to win this one. If Sherwood picks Delph (and he may not) our midfielder needs to up his game to the levels of earlier this season. He needs to shoot from distance and be positive. A win here and Sherwood has a chance.
A bad loss,say 3-0, and people will start questioning why, exactly, Fox decided he was so good!

Whatever happens on Saturday we will need to regroup very quickly for Tuesday night v smethwick. I'd be happy with 4 points from the 2 games .
