April looks absolutely brutal

If we get to the semis the QPR game will be moved. No idea to when though.

Not sure that makes April any better from a league survival front

Can't see us taking three points off Swansea, at the same time i think 35 points will be enough.

Can't see us taking 3 points off anybody.

It's that month when you get some unpredictable wins for the strugglers, just hope it's us for once.

Fixed. We wouldn't win it if we weren't in the semis, ya daft bugger.

I can see us coming away with two defeats and a draw out of our next three games (Newcastle, Albion, Sunderland) and that will knock any little fight we have left in us out for good.

I think we'll do Albion in the cup however.

I predicted 39 points. Win at Newcastle and we will be one ahead of the prediction. If we could string a few results together into the bargain, then that would be huge. 7 from the next three would like lout us three or four clear of QPR and Burnley.

The barcodes game is crucial: if we get stuffed there I think it will drain any remaining confidence out of the squad. The reverse is true as well though: get a result and the Sherwood feel-good factor should take flight.

Looking forward to our first win at spuds since Steve Archibald was a lad Richie.

I think Tim will really be up for that one.

There's some very winnable games in there but it's difficult to look past how we've been playing recently. Wonders will have to be worked on the training ground to change the way we play.

I think our survival rests largely on the next four games. We need to halt the slide first of all. We also need to be looking at clubs on the slide and getting points off them. I'm think Newcastle, Sunderland and also Swansea who have struggled somewhat since Bony left. Likewise I hope we're really up for the West Brom league game. A point in that would be good. If we can pick up a couple of wins in the next four games then it gives us a little leighway going into January.

Then you look at the other remainding games and QPR and Burnley are must wins. I'm not expecting anything from Utd, City, Spurs, Southampton or even Everton despite their poor season. Of late we're horrendous against the Toffees. That said any points from those games would be a bonus.

Anything less than 6 points in the next four and we've just got too much to do.

Got a horrible feeling QPR would be moved so our last two games are QPR and Burnley and we need to win both to stay up. And don't.
