Nearly all of the league games under Sherwood have been close so I think we can expect the last four to be the same. This very positive approach will see us home I think, but not before some scary moments along the way. Score draw against Everton and a late late winner for us against West Ham I reckon.

That's how I see it. I have been consistently wrong though.

The way we are playing, I think two home wins isn't beyond comprehension.

Everton will be a draw as they are pretty well organised.We'll get the points we need at Southampton as they are a more open side which will suit our approach away. I don'the see Hull or Sunderland going on any consistent run now and QPR are faltering along with Burnley.

It's so frustrating that we're very much still under threat, because we're a good side now. It's important we get something against Everton and fucking Leicester lose a game.

I think QPR and Burnley are almost done

The hull result yday was a right fucker. I can see them doing something against Liverpool and burnley at home. Maybe four more points.

So I think we'll be fine. But I'd rather not have to wait until the Burnley game to be safe.

Thinking back to the defeat at Hull, if someone that night offered me a few points grace, with home games against Everton, W Ham and Burnley I'd have bitten their hand off.

We're playing in a style that's giving us a chance and I'm sure we can get four points from Everton and W Ham.

The more I see what this group of players are capable of, the more I hate Paul Lambert.

Bottom line is we have been sucked right back into the mire. The blame for this lands squarely at the feet of the incompetent Paul Lambert.

And he fact that Leicester just won 4 on the bounce. I didn't see that coming a month ago.

Five more points will see us safe. We can't ask for any more than to have three home games out of our last four against clubs with nothing to play for (Burnley will be relegated by the time we play them).

We are easily the best side down there and will be safe before the final day.

Hull's game in hand is Liverpool at home, Leicester's is Chelsea on Wednesday (who may be able to win the title) and Sunderland's is away at Arsenal. That QPR, Leicester, Sunderland and Hull all play each other helps too.

We're a lot closer tan we ought to be and that is down to Lambert effectively writing off January and February for us.

We'll be safe before we go to Southampton.

Reasons to hope for an Arsenal win today, then, as it'll keep both them and Chelsea alert and motivated for their matches.
