Just done the predictor and had 33 points keeping you up.
Got us on 36 with wins v West Ham & Burnley and a draw v Everton.

Sherwood has got us 7 points from 7 games. If he can keep that strike rate up we'll be ok. 35 points will be more than enough I think.

11 goals in that time. We'd only scored 12 in the previous 25 - all those wasted games where we didn't even threaten to score.

Omsk!

Wasn't he one of the Wombles?

I've given up trying to change predictive text for pmsl which comes up Omsk so I'm now sticking with Omsk.

Christ. I must be pessimistic. I feel less optimistic than silhill villa!!!

I think it's going to be incredibly tight. The problem this year is that I think even the bottom side could still stay up. Leicester have some kind fixtures

Our most winnable game is also the last one of the season when the pressure is really going to be on.

Next up looks to me to be West Ham. I had in my mind that they are in bad form. But look at their away results this year: last minute defeat v Leicester. Before that they lost v arsenal, drew at Spurs, Southampton, Swansea and Everton.

I'm not confident about us winning any of our other games. When was the last time we beat Everton? Under Kevin McDonald? Happy to be told we've done it since then but I don't remember that. They're coming back Into form too

I really think we needed to beat QPR. A draw was much better than a defeat but my best guess is we get one more win and a couple of draws and 34 pts with a bad goal difference might not be enough

West Ham and Everton look the most likely games to win to me.Both teams are in mid table and with nothing to play for might just take their foot of the gas so to speak.

No way Leicester are going to stay up. Yes it's not impossible but they are gone. Also I don't think it's going to be tight. We just need to win one and draw a couple. I think QPR along with Hull will go. I hope Burnley survive.

Well I hope you're right

I don't tbink Leicester will make it in the end. In fact, given they play other bottom sides it might be a good thing they are fighting

Would love to think we could beat Everton and West Ham but I very much doubt it. Wd definitely take four points from those two games but I'm not sure we'll get it

If goal difference comes into it, it's too early to tell who will have the worst come the end of the season. If someone, e.g. QPR against Chelsea or Burnley against Arsenal, gets a tonking it could change things. Hull have a better goal difference than the other strugglers but other than that there is not a lot to choose between the "contenders." By and large (famous last words) we haven't been spanked this season with the exception of the 2 games against Arsenal, and Chelsea away.
