Got to think 6 points is a minimum from those 4.

I don't think we will go down this time.  One of the things that is really helping us is the dip in form of Lecester.  And how the other two newly promoted clubs have also struggled this season.  Then when you add the likes of Sunderland, Palace and Hull to the mix then there should be at three or four worse teams than us come the end of the season.  Also, although its not ideal and not pretty to watch you can see us scrapping 0-0's away from home in matches which many of others might lose.  But as has been said the next three or four games are crucial if we pick up very little from those they I will really start to worry.

I think you're right; it will be another scrape by finish when we should be doing better with what we have. I'm beginning to think that even relegation won't see off Mr Lambert, so for those of us wanting him gone, it's a takeover or as you are.

We are right in it.

Amusingly we got six points from the next three fixtures last season, well we need something like that now.

Given West Brom will pick up now and probably Palace will aswell I think we'll be in the bottom three after the Chelsea game and it's going to be a struggle to get out of there.

Totally agree, especially if we are still not scoring goals.

Think we are the worst team in the league currently ..lack of goals if it carry on will send us down.

Watched our game and Palace game ,both Leicester and Palace much better than us currently.though to be honest all you need is an attacking threat to be better than us currently.

Yes, we are right in it, deservedly so and deserve to go down frankly. We are the most boring and unexciting team in the league by some distance. We can't even win games playing shit but effective football like Stoke have done for the last god knows how many years. We are just shit full stop.

We are in it. Again. We desperately need some quality.

I fear Randy will roll the dice and not spend big this January though. You just can't play with relegation season after season and hope for the best.

It will catch up with you and this could be our year :(

It's different this year. Lambert has hit a brick wall tactically but he looks as secure as ever. I think our downward slide will be dramatic over the next couple of months.

It could well be and the fact that it's a genuine possibility is unacceptable.

No, we will stay up. It's not enough though and the mind numbing dullness won't change either until Lerner is gone, which won't happen any time soon.

This is as good as it will get for the next 10 years.

The worst part about today isn't the fact that we didn't score. Our lack of those has been evident for a good while. It's the very concerning fact that Leicester City FC should have scored 4 or 5 times but for some poor finishing and the brilliance of Guzan. Today wasn't a low attempts game between two poor teams. It was very much where one team that cannot score were massively fortunate to only lose by one.
