This is the season...

[Dave]

When was the last time we went on a seven match unbeaten run?

Six games from now. It's on.

[PaulWinch again]

It's a very remote chance, but there's a chance. Keep that level of performance up and we can win games.

[QuintonVilla]

Not to be a party pooper but if Swansea beat Sunderland tomorrow night we will be 10 points adrift again.

We just have to keep winning then. One thing this team is very good at is doing the same thing week after week. First half of the season it was losing, this half lets make it winning

[supertom]

Just keep giving everything and we will win games. If we put together even a small run and build some confidence we might even win 1-2 games in style.
If we beat Leicester I think we're right back in with a sniff.

Certain players should not get anywhere our starting 11 again.

We're probably still going down but lets go down fighting and give ourselves some kind of momentum going into next season.

Tbh we should only be looking at 19th. One step at a time.

[MoetVillan]

Anything is possible after tonight, what are the odds on both Swansea and Slumberland to lose? Come on!

You should put a quid on that, your return would at least make you a billionaire

[PeterWithesShin]

We've taken the first tiny step, we've matched Derby's total!

Pretty much this. We just need more points in the bank really. If we were on say 18 after tonight I'd say we'd have a decent shot but we're still adrift.

You never know, if it's 36-38 points to stay up no chance. However Newcastle don't win even when they play well, Sunderland are only 4 clear of us and I think they'll lose to Swansea and Bournemouth are dipping again and have the toughest last 10 games of any team down there.

Maybe we'll get really lucky and it will be something like 33 points to stay up, 6 wins, 4 draws, that's not out of the question IF we can play to that standard for most of the run in.

[MorrisNielson]

Start of the 2011-12 season

Just shows how bad Derby were that season, there's still 17 games left of this season.

They went 32 without a win that season. So that's a record we won't be breaking!

[Olof's Beard]

It's massively unlikely, but I honestly think that this season's Premier League is incredibly average and confidence is key. Leicester, Watford and Palace are all functional and well organised, but they have some really ordinary, if honest, pros in their teams. Yet they have all put streaks of really good form together. Today needs to be a genuine catalyst because there is no time to waste, but there is still the faintest flicker of hope now. Concentrate on just closing the gap to 19th down and go from there.

Let's not forget that Leicester were stuck on 19 points after 29 games last season then won 7 of their last 9. We won't go on that sort of hot streak come April because it's extremely unusual, but we might just accumulate more points before that point if we can use the energy that tonight should give us properly.

It's the hope that kills you though, innit?
