With a bit of luck that freekick will have knocked the stuffing out of QPR, as disappointed as we are with the result they must be gutted.

A point on the board is better than nothing and its also a game down for QPR. We need to find two wins between now and the end of the season and have the ability to do that.



Tim is aiming for four. I thought you were as enthusiastic as him.

I think we will need to beat West Ham and Burnley and pull a rabbit out of the hat somewhere ie. A win at St Mary's or win v Everton at home.

I think we could survive with a little as three or four more points. Could do without the pressure though.

I think we need two wins and a draw at least. It would be very useful to pick up one of those wins in one of the next two games.

It's funny. This time of year comes around and most of us think we are doomed, but last year was no different. I think we were  only mathematically safe after the penultimate game of last season. A couple of wins in the next month and we might even beat that!

I think if we win two more we'll probably be ok

A bloke at work (a neutral) just did the predictor thing and despite forecasting no more wins for us this season, still had us staying up with 32 points! In 16th!

Around the same time last season (more teams had games in hand than this season) we were 9 points clear of the drop. Season before though we were 18th on GD after 31 games.

I wonder if West Brom are completely safe yet - if they don't beat Leicester, I can see them struggling to get more than another point from their remaining fixtures:

Leicester (h)
C Palace (a)
Liverpool (h)
Man U (a)
Newcastle (a)
Chelsea (h)
Arsenal (a)

Any of our relegation rivals playing Newcastle can expect 3 points.  Since they beat us they've lost all interest.

Maybe, we should be happy that Everton have now secured their safety...
Martinez is hugely overrated... And we can definitely win that one if we play to our potential

Mental toughness and a certain amount of luck are what counts now. Whether we have enough of the former and will get enough of the latter is anybodys' guess.

They aren't at all.  If Leicester beat them at the weekend, they could get drawn right into it over the following weeks.

Whatever happens I am not going to apportion blame to Sherwood - naive he maybe, a bit gobby he is, but, he has at least tried as hard as possible to get us playing on the front foot.  I firmly believe we would be on the brink of relegation at this stage were Lambert still in charge.  The damage was done in the first half of the season.
