I wouldn't like to guess individual scores but I think we'll get just two points from the four matches and go down.

It would take yet more exceptional results elsewhere for that to happen. At the very least QPR would need to win at either Chelsea or Man city, or Blackburn at both Chelsea and Spurs.

QPR wouldn't need to do anything. Instead Wigan would need to win 2 out of 3, and Bolton 3 out of 5. Both have easier run ins.

So you suggesting that Blackburn will stay up and we'll go down with QPR and Wolves?

Which would see QPR and Blackburn down with Wolves?
Where are QPRs possible 5 points coming from or Blackburn's 8 (or 9 as 8 is impossible) in the scenario we get 38 points?
And presumably one of Wigans wins is against Blackburn as I dont imagine they'll beat Newcastle.

Fair comment. just trying to point out there is a number of permutations, and we are not dust relying on QPR to win their games. For the record, if we get two more points I think it is very unlikely we will go down. But I am also worried that if we lose against Bolton we will not get any more points. This manager has a record of relegating teams against all the odds.

Bolton - Draw
WBA - Win
Spurs - Lose
Norwich - Draw

That's my predictions should see us safe.

The vast majority of those permutations would see us safe, especially the more realistic ones.

As I said, it's about being realistic.  We have a home game against Bolton where we're favourites, so if you try to look at it objectively you you'd fancy us for at least one of those points tomorrow night.  After that, we haven't lost 2 in a row all season, let alone 3.

i'm probably more mystic mug than meg, but i can see us snatching two more points, one against bolton, and the other against norwich, so does two more make us absolutely safe? As much as i want regime change, i don't want relegation to achieve it.

I did the BBC predictor with us losing every game and with all the other results as i predict and I get us staying up by 2 points.

Some people will still only belive the first part of that.
