The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

It would be so nice if we could beat Manure, QPR and Spurs and be safe by the time we play the FA Cup semi final.

...as you watch your 6 numbers come up on the National Lottery

..which happened minutes after Sherwood had called you asking if you'd lead the lads out at Wembley

Ultimately after a pretty dire performane today we need to control our own destiny and stop worrying about how other teams are doing. That needs to be started by beating QPR on Tuesday.

Sherwood said it was time for the players to feel pressured again. I don't see that from his tenure so far. Against Swansea and Stoke, pressure football and hitting them hard would have resulted in wins against two sides that are largely on the beach, especially in Stoke's case. I think Sherwood has to admit to himself, if he hasn't already, that the reason we lose is because our players just aren't that good.

It says a lot that he opted for Cole today. A player who has been there and done it, even though he hasn't been good in about 5 years.

If Timmy didn't realise the state of the squad before, he'll certainly know it by the end of the season. A wholesale change is required.

Imagine going shopping for Premier League players in a transfer window when money is no object. Here's hoping it won't just be a case of imagining it.

Best thing today was Hull losing, I honestly think looking at their fixtures left they'll struggle to get more than 5 points.

QPR is massive though, losing isn't an option.

[curiousorange]

Hull and Sunderland are in worse positions than us, even if Hull are currently above us, because their run-in is basically Norwich's last season. I can easily see Newcastle dropping points against Sunderland though. If tomorrow's results go our way, I'll feel a lot better about the QPR game.

[nodge]

Out of the bottom 6 we're the favourites to stay up. I'm taking some comfort in that. Still think 8 points out of 21 will keep us up looking at the other team's fixtures.

Tuesday nights game now takes on even greater importance, absolutely a must win!

Tuesday nights game now takes on even greater importance, absolutely a must win!

Like Bolton was the other year?

We should win it but if we don't we'll still be in control of our own destiny. Hull and the Baggies have got horrendous run ins and we'll finish above them both. Leicester are dead already, despite today's win. And we'll better the results of the other three between now and the end of the season.

I reckon we'll finish 14th.

It's going to be key. A 6 point gap and I don't think QPR can make that up. They catch up to us on tuesday and it'll be nose to nose with them until the end I reckon.

[Matt Collins]

The single most important thing about the QPR game is that the players and fans believe from the outset. If we have a repeat of the sort of tentative performance we've seen all too often, it's going to be horrible.

Guzan - Bacuna Okore Clark Baker - Cleverley, Sanchesz, Delph- N'Zogbia - Gabby, Benteke

[paulcomben]

4 defeats in his 6 league games. Fact. As much as we and many neutral fans believe that Sherwood will pull us clear.

[silhillvilla]

Qpr is massive and we will have to do without POTS Alan Hutton it seems . Sanchez must be dropped. Let's hope westwood is fit and Delph gets a rest, he naively burned his legs off for England .
Benteke scoring today could be massive as it keeps his personal mojo in a good place.

Edit. Just realised cleverly is back for Tuesday, which is good.
