I would genuinely bring in Robinson you know. Play him and Gabby off Holt, who proved he is easily good enough to be in the side in place of Benteke.

I would be amazed if we got no more points.

I don't think we'll go on any sort of great run of form, but I don't think any team in the league is going to lose every single game that they play from now until the end of the season. I reckon even Norwich with their horrible run in might scrape another point.

That kind of thing doesn't really happen.

If we got no more points that would mean losing 9 in a row. I know we are struggling but I'm not sure it is quite that bad - yet.

I cannot honestly see where the next point is coming from and if any team could go their remaining games without a win, it is a team manged by Clueless Lambert.

Thing is, teams at the bottom pull results out of nowhere during the run in. It happens every year (Wigan last year being a great example).

We are on that downward spiral that sees us as a side that could easily find ourselves needing a result with 2/3 games remaining. I have no faith we'd find that result.

I'd be genuinely surprised if we get anything at Palace, home to Soton and away at Citeh. Don't leave much does it. 

Absolutely disgraceful that we are here AGAIN.

Can anyone honestly see us getting another point? I can't. We are in free fall.

It is at times like this where people must concede it is a piss poor league.

What are the odds of us getting relegated at White Hart Lane on the last day of the season ,like some other club we know did . The way we are playing and the injuries we are getting,it becomes more and more possible

We're a best-priced 40-1 to go down.

As I think it'll be very difficult for us to be mathematically relegated before the last day of the season, I expect it would still be 40-1.

Next match for me is Man City away,
so I hope we can still mathematically go down just to make it more interesting

I hate dead rubbers


Looking good

I know we'll take this until Hull at home. If we are lucky, three teams will have fallen short of the required points by then...one thing is for sure - we won't get clear ourselves.

there will be a win somewhere that none us of right now see coming and we'll scrape a couple of other points here and there. It's a lot to ask for those in the bottom 5 to suddenly transform themselves into something they are not, and every game for those teams will be tough irrespective of who they are playing. Not every team will be as generous as we are at times.

As others have said we will pick up a couple of points and stumble to safety but I am convinced that if we continue to stagnate like we have we are sunk next season, its coming and we all know it, its very sad.

We could do with some draws but we just don't know how to see how games.We still over commit going forward at times lose the ball and get countered.

Southampton could be a surprise result as we will just spend the whole game running after the ball and they tend to overplay and concede.Amazing that we went into Stoke 2 weeks back looking like a win makes us safe and have crumbled since.37 will see us safe just hope we can get there

It goes without saying that hopefully we`ve got enough points in the bag to survive but honestly, can you see any fixture coming up that`s got Villa win all over it - No, neither can i. Also, i can remember when Scott Dann got put out for the rest of the season, telling anybody who`d listen that would put Blues down and their last game was Spurs away, we lose the only decent forward we`ve got for the rest of the season, and our last fixture, wait for it - Spurs away. Please God don`t let it be an Omen.

Cue Shane Long taking us apart to leave us needing to win at Tottenham. That game is intended to be a party but it could be a wake!
