Is this the season... (Poll reset after Albion double)

[PaulWinch again]

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

Very true and that's why I think Sherwood has done a hell of a job to turn us round.

[Villa in Denmark]

I am obsessed by the notion that Burnley's result has relegated us. I know, I need to grow a pair.

If we do go down it won't be because of Burnley turning Man City over, it will be because we were shit for 6 months!

and it will be because we didn't look after our own business from now until the end of the season. We've gone from a situation a couple of weeks back where we needed a bit of help from others screwing up, to now being in a position to look after ourselves with some decent results. We'll only have ourselves to blame now if it goes shit shaped, something that I don't think at all will happen.

If we go down from here - and Hull stay up - I'll be calling for an investigation into doping because I can't see them getting another 6 points.

I'd rather not, I'll start to come out in a rash.

Just looked at their run in and they could easily lose 8 out of those 9.

Looking at April and where the QPR game has been put I think we really need to beat Swansea this weekend.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

I actually like our remaining fixtures. I think we've got a chance in all of them, Man City away aside.

We can beat Man Utd, they've not been playing well all season. As for Spurs, if we're scared of playing them, we might as well just pack it in.

Only other one I'm worried about, aside from Man City, is Southampton away, but they might be "on the beach" by then.

If we beat QPR, Swansea, and Burnley, that puts us on 37 pts. I think that will be enough, but I expect us to get a few more points from the other games too.

[Toronto Villa]

Man City just lost to Burnley with everything still to play for. By the time we play them, they'll be out of the CL and Chelsea could be out of sight. All of a sudden instead of playing a very motivated group, we'll be playing a bunch of talented but exorbitantly paid players thinking more about the beach rather than the importance of finishing 2nd or 3rd. If that's the case we will still have a lot more to play for than them, so we will have a good chance of getting something from that game. Our attitude needs to be right. We know Sherwood won't go there waving a white flag like Lambert.

[RussellC]

Plus I doubt Milner will be trying too hard against the club he's about to re-join on a Bosman.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

I think 9 more points will get us over the line.

We have a chance in all 5 of our home games - Swansea, QPR, Everton, West Ham and Burnley; 3 wins or 2 wins and 3 draws out of that lot will do - especially if we can avoid defeat against QPR and Burnley.

Anything we get from our away games will be a bonus.

Stating the obvious time - if we can't get nine points from those five we deserve to go down.

[Ad@m]

I don't even think we need 9. Leicester and QPR will struggle to make it to 30 and having seen Hull's fixtures they won't get much higher.

Two wins from 9 matches will do us. We'll stroll it!

We can beat Man Utd, they've not been playing well all season.

On current form (last 8 games) Man United are 3rd with 19 points W6 D1 L1 and Man City are 9th with 11 points W3 D3 L3. Man United have been getting points without playing that well (except for their last match where they battered Spurs which some of their fans have been saying was their best performance in 4 years).

We're currently in 16th place with 6 points  L6 D0 W2

Is a game that happened 2 months ago, under a different manager, really representative of 'current form'? Because that's how far back 8 games go.
