Relegation Possibility

[Big Dick Edwards]

my predictor attempt shows us only getting 2 more points between now and last match with us being relegated on the last game....ouch!

I think those two points will be enough to see us safe.

oh I do hope you're correct

The predictor thing is dangerous at this time of the season.  Teams that are safe stop playing and mentally switch off while the strugglers pick up unexpected results - it happens every year and in the case of Wigan and QPR has already started.

The real question is do we look like a side that can fight our way out of trouble by collecting a few wins, have we the firepower, can we keep clean sheets.  I still think we'll need another 7-9 points this season to have no worries.   I can see us getting another 3 (all draws) which might not be good enough.

Relegation is very much on the radar and has been all season tbh.

A distinct possibility, I am worried about going down but I am more worried we will keep the Ginger Clown!

I genuinely would bet everything I own on us not getting anything like 6 or 7 points between now and the end of the season.

I'll take that bet, and wager 1p of my own against everything you own. Bet? "Anything like" = 5 or more points I take it?

[Greg N'Ash]

aye. can't see us getting a win for sure.

You do realise I will be going through the "What have you bought today?" thread with a fine toothcomb? Plus remember, every time you lie a fairy dies, do you really want that on your conscience?

[OzVilla]

So let's say we collected 3 points between now and the end of the season, that'd leave us on 36 points.

That's real 50%-50% territory.  Anything less and we'd probably get relegated.

30 games of last season - Blues in 15th place with 34 points. That's enough to be quite scared about.

[joe_c]

I've said said all season that we were not in any danger of going down but looking at the table now I have to admit that I am succumbing to some pangs of concern. This is not due to any confidence that I had in our performances but more to the dreadfulness of the sises below us but Wolves aside, they have begun to accumulate some points which is worrying.

[garyfouroaks]

Its a possibility

[Pete3206]

We'll beat Stoke and Sunderland, then play out a 4-4 thriller at Norwich to round things off. Safe, just.
