I've amended now as moved Bournemouth up to easiest away fixture left

Home fixtures in difficultly level don't seem impossible
Watford
Spurs
Man Utd
Arsenal
Palace
Wolves
Sheffield Utd
Chelsea

Wolves is the toughest game there for me. All the others perfectly winnable.

What could help is playing some of them around europa league ties. Two of those will probably go deep in the competition so they'll focus on that rather than premier league.

I think we will be the one below the line, which I think might be 42 points this season. My biggest worry is what that will leave us with squad wise in the Championship next season. Without Jack, Mings and McGinn for sure. Heaton with the injury is likely to be here but we have Steer anyway. Beyond that I think most of the rest would stay, and we would have a very strong side in the championship. I think my biggest reason to want to stay up it to have a shot at keeping Jack though. Losing him will be the most gut wrenching of any of the ones we have lost over the years.

I'm officially worried. Really worried, in fact I'm deeply concerned enough to visit this thread for the first time. I had hoped I'd never have to.

We’re done let’s face it nearly all of the players brought into the squad are either too early in their development to be good enough or just not good enough.

Fair play we pulled it out of the fire. Douglas has to play in a more advanced role.

Sitting on the fence and leaning towards the still mildly concerned side.

10 points out of 18 is a more than decent run.

I'm officially less worried.

Still worried but with more hope than before that game. A massive win.

Wow. Everything looks better now. Usually, 25 points now would feel 'safe'. What a crazy season.

3-4 wins and 2-3 draws may still be enough though?

Taken:
6 points from Norwich
4 points from Burnley
4 points from Brighton
3 points from Watford.... not bad at all.

If we can take points from teams like Everton away, Newcastle away, Bournemouth away, Palace at home, Sheff Utd at home and maybe Wolves at home...the new striker could be massive.

I take it I'm not the only one to notice we've actually won more league games than Arsenal now.

I’d love it, love it, if Watford and Burnley went down. The shithousing bastards.

Since we're now all officially worried how about renaming this to "The Worriers Thread"?
