Can see Chelsea being a similar game to Spurs. They have injuries and defensively are pretty poor.Hopefully if we're 2-2 going into injury time we can actually see it out as every point is vital from now.

Nearly always worth risking one point for two.

The current squad can't play Dean Smith's preferred style at this level consistently. It's going to be close, which may of us fully expected. We don't really need that much of a run. We could stay up with runs of 1 win in 3 if we also draw a game in that run. Another 12 points and it's not certain we'd stay up but I'd be pretty confident looking at the runs in likes of Bournemouth have.

Will build the confidence up again nicely and then if we go to Newcastle and win we'll be on 31 points and suddenly getting to 37-38 points dosen't look that difficult.

I think we will stay up, but it will be very close, and this is pretty much what I expected to happen.
