35 points will be enough I reckon. 2 wins. If we can't get 2 wins from the last 6 games, we deserve to go down.

Agreed. Problem is I thought many of us agreed that the QPR match was a must win should win and we were lucky to get away with a point.

I just hope we haven't lost the ability to win a game. A few returning injured players would help - anything thanhaving to rely on the hopeless Richardson.

QPR was a must win.  We didn't.  I think that this is finally when our reaper finds us.

QPR was a must not lose rather than a must win. If we get another 2 wins we are probably safe and it won't matter that we did not beat QPR.

As RE said QPR was must not lose and we didn't and we were not lucky.

It probably wasn't even strictly speaking a must not lose game. Psychologically we needed to get something from it but in reality a game is only "must win" if you are mathematically down if you don't.

My only problem with us needing 2 wins from the fixtures left, is that the most winnable game is the final game of the season. That will be a real pressure situation and I'm worried about how the lads will handle that, whereas for Burnley it's more of a nothing to lose game and everyone expected them to go down at the start of the season, still does now, and they are a really small club.

Completely agree

We had two remaining games against sides you might expect us to beat. Winning any of our other games would be a minor or major surprise and we've not pulled many of those out of the bag this season. Not since that weird spell at the start that might still be our saviour.

I'd love to think we could beat Spurs or Everton for the first time in ages. But I'm not expecting it. So the West Ham game will be crucial and much will depend on whether we give a stupid goal away in that game

No matter how positively I try to look at the remaining fixtures, that feeling just won't go away.  Every result throughout the season counts, but getting one point from the 12 available at Hull, QPR, Burnley and Leicester has really cost us.

Teams that survive sometimes mess up when they're expected to win but equally pick up results when they're not expected to. We've had the former, I'm just hoping for the latter.

That's what I just got on predictions going into the last games- two defeats in the next games followed by a win draw and loss in the following three.

I reckon it will be around as close as that

Just asked my wife (who knows the square root of f**k all about football) to call out the scores for the Sky Saturday Super 6 or whatever it's called.  She had Sunderland, Leicester, Burnley and Hull all to lose.  Unfortunately she had us to lose 3-1 too. Sadly I'd probably take that now.

If it's going into the last game, why have Hull only played 36 games?

I'd snap your hands off if offered as a final day scenario.

Yes anything can happen last game but going into that knowing you only have to avoid defeat to stay up rather than winning is what I want.

As hard as their run in is I can't quite believe Hull will only take one more point this season though.

We will beat Spurs tomorrow. We will lose the semi-final though.
