Relegation Possibility

[David_Nab]

It's not the position that's the overall worry its the players we have left ,we are relying on the kids some playing out of position to keep us up.We don't score enough and we can't defend it's a recipe for the chop.

Stoke ,Bolton and WBA are the games I see keeping us up , in terms of wins and maybe just maybe a draw away to Liverpool.

Mcliesh could point to injuries as an excuse now but with a full strength team earlier in the season we were hardly setting the world alight so I hope to god he keeps us up then piss's off 

[Aston Manor]

We could go. We really are in a lot of trouble and I can't see a way out.

[Rob92]

Relegation is a serious possibility. Especially with our run in, as well as the injuries we've got.

The thing that worries me is that the teams around us seem able to pick up points against the big sides, while we just roll over for them.

In all honesty, I think we'll survive by the skin of our teeth, but next season we're fucked.

[Dave Clark Five]

Bolton 39 pts
Villa 36
QPR 35
Wigan 34
Blackburn 33
Wolves 23
We will draw against Stoke, Bolton and Norwich.

[hartman_1982]

Wigan's next 3 games are Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal.
QPR have to play Man City, Chelsea, Spurs and Man Utd.
Blackburn have Man Utd, Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea.
Bolton only have Spurs.

We will survive. It wont be pretty but we will do it.

[Dave Clark Five]

Immediately prior to Norwich game in my view:
Bolton 39
Villa 35
QPR 35
Blackburn 33
Wigan 31
Wolves 23

We will only be concerned about Blackburn against Chelsea and QPR against Man City. It will be hell.

I must admit I am now officially shitting myself.

This. I am terrified. I've never been so worried about the chop before.

[brontebilly]

bang in trouble at the moment. qpr have picked up a couple of wins lately. bolton with 3 points again today. out of nowhere wigan are winning games. I reckon we are in worse form than those 3 anyway. in the midst of an injury crisis and our young players are struggling badly to make the step up.

we are badly in need of a couple of the experienced players coming back - cuellar, dunne, clark, nzogbia. someone like clark would be a big plus, just to have a physical presence in midfield. the likes of baker are nowhere near good enough for the EPL. Herd is badly struggling at the moment. Gardner and Bannan are also lost out there. Albrighton did well for the second goal but has been muck aside from that in recent games. Gabby hasnt scored a goal in months. there is precious little to get enthused about.
Cuellar back next to Collins will strengthen things at the back. But at just the wrong time of the season we look a rabble throughout the side.

I had been using the BBC football predictor as a source of comfort. I got Villa in the relegation positions this morning-it could happen.

Bolton 39

QPR 35
Blackburn 33
Wigan 31
Wolves 23

This is a case of deja vu - remember the 94-95 season? We needed a result at Norwich on the final day and got a 1-1 draw, although I think Newcastle lost at Newcastle that day anyway.

Sorry - West Ham lost at Newcastle!!

[Clampy]

It's got to the stage where even Albion who everyone reckoned were nailed on safe have to start looking over their shoulder. Failing to beat either Wigan or Blackburn has really come back to bite us.

[brian green]

Well said Clampy.   Yesterday's defeat to one of the best teams in europe with their confidence newly restored and a star struck official, did not come as unexpected.   The reason we are where we are is that games like Blackburn and Wigan were not put to bed the way they should have been.

[Bottom Right 89]

We can't start dwelling on dropped points or missed opportunities there will be plenty of time to pick over the bones after the season ends. We now have a load of inexperienced kids that somehow need dragging over the finish line. If we go into games against Stoke and the like thinking we'll get beat that will transmit to the players, stay positive stop using the bbc doom calculator and lets keep yesterdays noise going for the remaining home games.
