The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

I think the Burnley- Leicester game could be key, Leicester win and that could knock the stuffing out of Burnley.

If the games at burnley I see little hope of a Leicester win

I know its all conjecture
but I reckon 35 points will be enough

so if we only take 3 points (QPR) out of the next 4 games, which is very probable we will need a further 4 points from our final 4 games against everton, west ham, Southampton and burnley

which I think we will do,
that's what I reckon anyroad

btw I don't agree that we have an easier run in than the rest, I think its pretty testing

The Daily Heil had an article in the last couple of days which had us finishing 15th on 35 points and Sunderland, Leicester and QPR going down.

I was confident we were going to be fine but now they've backed us we're screwed.

Usually someone gets some unexpected results - us included - so all to play for. As in previous years its all totally in our hands. This time of year is getting a bit like groundhog day though.

Clark kept us at 0/0 by HT, great goaline block

Yes, correct. But push came to shove with the goal and he should have been stronger. Good player, doing well, but still learning the dirty bits of the game.

Their goal was not Clarks fault at all.

He had  gotten onto the wrong side of Gomis which was poor. And should have been a bit cuter and pulled Gomis back when still ten yeards out of the box. At worse a yellow card and missing Old trafford.

The QPR game is absolutely huge. There's rarely a must win game but this is pretty close

If it means resting benteke for the Man U game i'd be happy with that.

Good point and I agree.  QPR away from home are terrible and their confidence quite low at the moment so we need to win that one if we do and pick up the odd point elsewhere then we should be fine.

I think we should go for Man Us throat. they ain't that good.

[Gregorys Boy]

I think we should go for Man Us throat. they ain't that good.

I think we could get something there are clear weakenesses but they are on a good run at the moment and have grided results out against better teams like us. 

I think what is saving us again this season is that the standard of teams that have come up have not been very good and that the PL in generally is weak.

[AVH87]

The games at Villa Park are of massive importance. We will need at least 2 more wins this season and the chances of getting them on the road don't look good. We need to beat QPR and one of Everton or West Ham and with a draw or 2 thrown in before the final game of the season against Burnley hopefully we will avoid squeaky bum time by having a 4 point gap over them, Sunderland or both.

[Matt Collins]

Man U are right in form

I'd be very surprised if we get anything there. We never do anyway and sherwood doesn't have a good record against top four sides

It's all about QPR for me. Any points in the games either side would be a bonus

[silhillvilla]

I'd be fully focused on qpr . If Benteke needs resting (even Clark 9 bookings ?) so be it. Hopefully vlaar senderos cissoko are going to show up soon.
Beat qpr and I think we will be ok.

I'll take that bet and I'm laying down 1p right  now.
