I am obsessed by the notion that Burnley's result has relegated us. I know, I need to grow a pair.
It's not us or them.
They seem to be have had incredible luck with lack of injuries, the opposite of us.

Kind of get what you're saying, but there's 27 points to be played for and still plenty of turns left. I think if Burnley survive it will be at the expense of Sunderland or Hull. Have you seen Hull's run in? If it were ours I'd be shitting myself.

The bookies are never wrong...:-) and they have Leics, QPR, Burnley, Sunderland and Hull all at shorter odds than us to drop..

2 weeks ago a lot on here were convinced we'd gone after the Stoke and Newcastle games. Now most of think we'll be fine. Shows how quickly things can change. We aren't out of the woods yet but i'd much rather be us than any of the other clubs around us.

One game at a time is all we can do. Let's put Swansea to the sword next .

The bookies aren't the ones setting the odds. It is the customers doing that.

I'm a lot happier about it having won a couple of league games (and a cup match as a bonus) than i was a few weeks ago, but there's still a way to go. As silhillvilla says above, step by step, match by match is the sensible way to do it.

Let's focus on beating Swansea.

Yeah I think there's still quite a lot of work to do yet. Start by beating Swansea. We haven't gone behind in a game since Sherwood took over, so I hope we can respond when that does happen.

The Stoke and Newcastle games panned out differently to how I remember them then!

Yep my mind must have gone there for a second! But it kind of supports my point anyway. We need to see how we respond to adversity now that we've recovered some confidence. I hope that confidence isn't too fragile, because we still have work to do to be safe.

Well hopefully there's something in the fact that the majority of punters believe we'll stay up. For what it's worth I think we will too and I predicted we'd batter Sunderland, so I must be right.  (I'll ignore all the other games I went in with foolish optimism over the last few months to be proved horribly wrong)

Look at this way, under Lambert we'd probably have lost the last two matches and would be 19th, 6 points away from safety.

And Burnley winning means that players can't get carried away with themselves and Saturday's win. However unlikely we could be back in the bottom 3 next weekend so we need to approach the game with positivity but with a bit more caution.

Burnley's next 3 games are tough. Southampton away and Spurs and Arsenal at home. We should have a clearer idea if your notion bears any fruit after then. There's no doubt Saturday was a massive confidence boost for them and I can see why you think it may be a defining moment in their season.
