Anyone starting to get worried?

Sorry folks, but I just can't see it happening.
Love to be proved wrong of course

Last game of the season..... West Ham away! 

[KRS]

It’s certainly hard to see where the points are coming from if our performances levels don’t improve. Play with the passion and desire like we did against Leicester and we’ll be fine...but on the other end of the spectrum, we’re equally as likely to be piss poor like we were against Bournemouth. These last 13 games is where Dean needs to earn his money.

[Mister E]

We need a minimum of 3 home wins, 1 away and 2 draws. I think we will pick up another away win though, especially after McGinn is back.

Yes, and it is doable.
I hope that
- Smith has been progressively getting them fitter: we have consistently looked less fit than many of our opponents
- the cumulative impact of bedding in new players and getting used to this new league will mean a progressive improvement through to the end of the season
- linked to the 2 points above, we can close out games better, converting former losing positions to draws and former drawing positions into wins
- the return of McGinn provides new spark and gives JG and others more space

There are lots of ifs and buts, but I do think we're better-placed than some teams to ramp up some improvements.

There's a lot of "The way we're playing..." yet the reality is that before the game at Bournemouth we were second in the form table over the previous six and had won a two-legged semi against one of the best teams in the league.

That can't possibly be right.  Liverpool are obviously top with lots of straight wins in the league, then, at a guess Man City and Southampton have been in better form and taken more wins than we have in the last 6.

I think we were 5th (joint) over the previous 5.

I assume it's bottom half teams.

Brighton have 1 win in 10 games now and Watford now haven't won in their last 4. West Ham only one win since middle of December.

Whatever happens, happens. Like I said before, I can’t see where we will pick up the points. But we might. I’m writing off the Spurs match though, can’t see us getting anything from that one. Then what?

As Dave says above we were doing well in the form table pre Bournemouth.  If we're in trouble, imagine what the fans of our relegation rivals are saying.

It does look tough, but it's far from a lost cause.

[exiled on the wirral!]

Consistency has been our biggest problem, aswell as our leaky defence, but I do think we have 4 more wins in us from 13 matches.If we don't get that, then we don't deserve to stay up anyway.

It's hard to predict where those 4 wins will come from, we didn't expect to lose at Bournemouth, we didn't expect to win at Burnley so who knows. I think it will be tight, but I think we will be just about ok, and would be a marvellous achievement by Dean Smith when you throw in a cup final appearance too.

[JUAN PABLO]

lets not lose to Spurs at least . .  Id be happy with a  draw  but its about time we beat one of these so called top teams like all the other teams around us have seemed to do . . 

Shame its not  a friday night game Id fancy a win then . 

[Des Little]

We just need that unexpected win. Spurs, Chelsea, Arse...just that win that’ll get our rivals worried, just like some of theirs have done to us. We simply cannot expect those down there with us to give us favourable results, we have to do it ourselves.

[ozzjim]

I'd bloody love us to do Spurs.

I’m really not sure we’ll need 4 wins. It’s built on the presumption it’s going to take 40 points to stay up and I don’t think that’ll be the case, so many tough games for not only but most of our rivals. I honestly think around 37 might be enough, if that’s the case 3 wins, 3 draws, leaving room for 7 defeats.

But I know nowt end of the day.
