It's vitally important we have a buffer between us and the bottom 3 going into April as I don't expect a lot from that.

Tonight was vital and really 4 points from the next two should be very achievable.

Incredible how one win changes everything...

I'm looking at the run in now and reckon 4 points from Sunderland and Swansea and wins v QPR and Bunrley and that could be enough on its own, would take us to 35 points and you'd think we could nick a draw or two from the other games at least.

Our remaining league home games flashed up one of the advertising hoardings during the game today.  Swansea, QPR, Everton, West Ham and Burnley.  It's not too daunting really.   

Our remaining away games are largely horrible though (including both Manc clubs, Spurs, Southampton) so winning our home games would be very handy.  I've seen enough from Sherwood so far to think we could easily get something from all of them.

You can get 7/4 now on Bet Victor, the other 3 are odds on. Everton are 3 points above us and are 50/1 !

I had barely noticed how low they were in the table until this evening.

They have got to play QPR, Burnley and Sunderland. It's a long shot, but lose two or three of those and things start to look a bit interesting.

True, but I think I'd rather they twated all 3 out of sight, knackering their goal difference in the process.

After last night it's really important we win the next couple of league games to give us some margin for error in April.

Excellent results for us tonight. Provided Liverpool maintain the Burnley score, then everything has gone our way. Our goal difference won't even be much worse than Burnley or QPR.

After losing 7 games straight, we win 1 and suddenly there's a 3 point gap above the relegation zone. With a run like that we should be cast adrift if the other sides had anything about them. All our home games are winnable so we've got a great chance. It was the turning point that we needed and Baggies fans might be left realising that at the end of the season and knowing that they had a chance to bury us.

I'd laugh if Everton got sucked into this.  They really don't like us do they.

Couldn't care less who goes down, as long as it's not us.  And as long as it includes QPFR.

That's the point I was making a week or so ago, our goal difference wasn't so terrible that we were never getting back up with them, if we'd scored the goals we could've in the first half we'd be better than burnley already.

Great! Hopefully soon all 91 will hate us, and with good reason!

I think Sherwood will really emphasize home form in his strategy. They are all winnable games and the Villa Park crowd in full voice is a tremendous asset.
