Anyone starting to get worried?

It’s not difficult. We’ve got a much harder run in than they have.

Because they've been so convincing this season.

They’ve had their new Manager bounce, time to get back to the real Nigel Pearson.

Bournemouth have a harder run-in than us! They play the current top 8 and nobody from the bottom 6.

I really think that dismal performance at Bournemouth was the tipping point unfortunately.  It was a pivotal match, that if we'd won would have given us a bit of respite with the tough run of fixtures coming up.  The fact that the manager and team couldn't raise themselves for it speaks volumes.  According to most of the bookies, we're amongst the 3 favourites to go down, despite not being in the bottom three.

A pattern this season seems to be that whenever we have a real chance to put a bit of space between us and the bottom three, we fuck it up. Conversely, though, whenever we look doomed we pull out a vital win to stay in the hunt.

Bournemouth was definitely one of the former, but no reason why we can't get plenty more of the latter sort of results. I reckon we will stay up with a game to go.

We play all the top 8 and West Ham away from bottom 6, so our run in its much easier

Watching Bristol city and they aRE suppose to Be one of the best in the championship. Jesus the quality must be really really poor this year

We've already played Man City twice unless you're counting the cup final

Watford and Brighton also got really tough run ins.

Watford still have to play Liverpool, Man. City and Leicester at home. Despite their amazing run they are still two points below us with a worse GD and they've only won once away under Pearson so will be banking on home form to stay up. Think they still have to play Chelsea, Arsenal and Man. City away so really don't think they've got an easier run in than us.

If Brighton don't beat Watford today they will have six more home games and four of them are against Arsenal, Man. United, Liverpool and Man. City. Also got aways at likes of Leicester and Wolves.

Of course we have tough home games left aswell but I'd rather play likes of Spurs and Arsenal than Man. City and Liverpool which both those two mentioned still have.

I think this is spot on, what represents a tougher run in is subjective. I was sad enough to look at all the remaining fixtures last week and Brighton’s run looked as equally as tough if not tougher than ours. All the teams will probably get at least one maybe two results in the run in that are not expected, however I think it’s more about who goes on a losing streak of 4 or 5 games in a row, rather than a winning streak, a run like that will kill the hopes of any of the teams down there.

And in my opinion the Leicester game is important as it hopefully gets the players over the psychological barrier of knowing they can beat one of the better teams.

[walsall villain]

I’m hoping that these tough looking home fixtures will turn out less difficult than feared. Hopefully our opponents will be heavily involved in one of the European cups/later stages of FA cup or, in Liverpool’s case, be on the longest piss-up in history after winning the league.
I do recall Ferguson’s United often used to switch off a little after walking the league.

[cdbearsfan]

We still never beat them.

[RamboandBruno]

Palace just lost again, they may be getting dragged into the mix. Also 3 out of their next 4 games are against Brighton, Watford and Bournemouth. After that lot they’ll either heavily involved in the relegation battle themselves or will have done us a few favours.

[SoccerHQ]

Palace are like Newcastle, you watch them and wonder how they've got as many as 30 points.

There's usually 1 team that drops from mid table into serious relegation trouble. We were in that position in the McLeish season.

[walsall villain]

We still never beat them.

We lost to what was basically their reserves once I recall but that’s just what we do. I was trying to be optimistic!

[SoccerHQ]

We drew 2-2 v them two months ago.

That said I'd take a point if it meant we beat Spurs and Arsenal at home in the run in.

[Dr_Pangloss]

It was never going to anything but worrying, I've worried all season. We had to spend an incredible amount just to give us a good shot at 17th it was never going to be any other way, especially given we signed a number of players who are either slow burners or not necessarily good enough for this level.
