That fixture list doesn't give me any comfort at all. Three points tomorrow is essential if we have any plans of staying up.

[Ad@m]

Our run in is the best out of those. I'm telling you - well finish 14th.

The Baggies are lucky the teams below them are so far back as their run in is horrific.

[curiousorange]

That run-in for QPR is shonky as hell. They need the three points more than us.

I'd say they have some winnable games - West Ham , Leicester,

After we beat them, they'll get six points max. We'll only need to finish ahead of Hull then.

[silhillvilla]

Honestly looking at those run ins I think we are fucked.

[PaulWinch again]

Win tomorrow and we'll be alright I think. I can see us winning a couple more games if we win tomorrow.

[KevinGage]

Even if we lose -and Villa being Villa, we were never going do make this easy- there are winnable games in the form of Everton and West Ham at home. I'd hope we're clear before the Burnleh game anyroad.

With all the injuries the qpr game has come at a wretched time. We simply have to win it. A draw won't be good enough. Defeat doesn't bear contemplating.

[PaulWinch again]

I'm not sure any game looks winnable if we lose to QPR at home.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Honestly looking at those run ins I think we are fucked.

Why?

We have it in our own hands with QPR and Burnley at home.  Hull have a nightmare fixture list.  Leicester are probably too far behind us.  We have four home matches which are "winnable", and anything we get away will be a bonus.

I think we should finish ahead of Leicester and Hull; meaning we just have to keep ahead of one of Sunderland, Burnley, or QPR - two of which we are ahead of on points and play at home.

[David_Nab]

Spurs have a pretty bad injury list at the back and looked poor against Burnley we could get something there.

It's so hard to predict now ..would anyone have had Burnley getting 4points from City and Spurs at home ? There will be teams at top who struggle under pressure and drop points , teams in midtable i.e Newcastle who are just safe enough who will just show up for games now halfassed.

Need to not lose to QPR at minimum which will be tough due to our injuries and them having confidence from the WBA game.

[Tony Erdington]

well shit wk end result wise.

so ive just looked and hull and qpr are fucked things going to plan, yes bolox everything went tits up this week end and chances of that happening a couple more times , i dont think so.

tomorrow night, the only bad result is defeat, a draw is good, one less game and all that,

for me liecester are gone btw,
