The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

[Dave]

Out of our 4 remaining games, I'm mostly confident about Saints away.

The one that a couple of weeks ago you said we might as well write off and not even bother turning up for?

[ozzjim]

LWDW for me from those 4, sitting happily on 39 come the final whistle on the last day.

I think Leicester will beat Newcastle. Newcastle have been truly awful, and we deserved a result there it just didn't fall for us. In fact, I would say all of our defeats apart from United away have been pretty harsh since Sherwood arrived.

[Steve67]

I'd be happy with a point against Everton. But I think we'll beat West Ham and Burnley. Potentially draw with Southampton.

Its odd that Leicester have four home games left and only one away. Hull too I think.

The game in hand they both have is what has changed it. And we have 3 at home out of 4.

[OCD]

It's good that the cup final is back to being after the league season has ended. Hopefully we'll have survived and we can go and enjoy the day. We'll be the underdogs so we should be able to relax and just go for it. It would be a fantastic way to end to a season to survive, have the takeover confirmed and then win the cup. The new owners would then have to finance a squad that can handle the European games.

If Leicester do beat Newcastle, then on Saturday they could be just a point behind them, with us level with them.

That said, I think Chelsea will take the wind out of their sails and it wouldn't surprise me if Newcastle got something. 7 defeats on the spin is a rare thing.

[Matt Collins]

It would be a big surprise if Leicester don't beat Newcastle but stranger things have happened

I'm a bit worried hull will beat Liverpool

I'm very worried about everton's form, although the only side they've beaten away from home recently is QPR. But I can just see us conceding at least one stupid goal

[Mister E]

Blunderland is the team we need to hope keep losing - their home form is abject and the Advocaat bounce hasn't happened.
Barcodes are the other team trending into relegation.

Having said that, we still need to click up some more points, clearly.

[Matt Collins]

With all the talk of hull and west brom's run in, I hadn't realised how bad sunderland's is. They have arsenal and Chelsea in the final two. Upsets can happen, but if we're ahead of Sunderland w two games to go you'd have to fancy our chances.

To get ahead of us before then, Sunderland will need to get two Pts more than us from Southampton and Leicester at home, and Everton away, while we play Everton and West Ham. Leicester looks the most winnable but even that has obvious benefits

they're in real trouble.

But let's not leave it to the final day

[OzVilla]

I'm still very worried full stop.

I've just go this horrible feeling that these stupid late lapses we keep having Stoke, Man City, Swansea will really come back to hurt us.

I'd love to see the Barcodes go down though! Wonder who'd get the honour of their sanctimonious final day fury this time around.

I'm not sure about Leicester v Newcastle. Law of averages suggests that Leicester won't keep winning and Newcastle won't keep losing. Leicester could also suffer a confidence denting defeat by Chelsea this midweek if Chelsea score a few.

4 Cup Finals left, then a game in North London.

[Des Little]

So pissed off we lost that game at Newcastle. 

[PaulWinch again]

If we don't get a result this weekend I'll be pretty worried.
