Three wins in a row?  Where on earth do you think those are going to come from?

That's the spirit.

I had us down for three more wins from here and still staying up, admittedly there's a few draws in there [which we seem incapable of getting currently].

All I'm saying is that if we can somehow find back-to-back wins, the odds are we stay up.

Why can't we win away at Newcastle or Southampton or Everton and follow it up with a home win. We'll probably get back-to-back home games at some point as well with the Sheffield United game being rearranged.

Being totally honest, I can't see us getting more than 6 points for the rest of the season

We've had back-to-back wins once all season.  We'll be doing well to win three more games, let alone three in a row.

Which is what I had us getting and staying up. Happy days.

Looking at other teams run ins down there and it’s much of a muchness.

I can still see Newcastle going on a bad run and getting dragged in as they really are gash.  As for us, we’ll be fine if we stop self sabotaging our season.

I think Southampton, Newcastle and possibly West Ham represent the best chances away from home.

Doesn't mean they're our only chance of course. I say possibly about West Ham, as we may well be safe and it could be a dead rubber by then.

Be great if a 0-0 draw was all that was needed for both teams.  We spend 90 minutes tapping the ball around, then score in the 94th minute to send them down.

Having heard, and since repeated, that we've not won 3 on the bounce in the PL since 2010, I thought I'd better check this. It was in fact 2009, Christmas, propelled us to fourth.

Think three wins in a row will be beyond us but we've seen many times from us and other teams how back to back wins can really push you away from the bottom 3.

We need to do it in the run in, probably in April looking at the potential for a few home games to be bunched together around that time.

If we don't do it then feels a given either West Ham or Watford and one of the teams just above us will do it  and stay up instead of us.

Genuine lol at that! The levels of shithousery would be biblical. Would be a dicey walk back mind.

In terms of form, over the last 6 games we're 13th, over the last 8 games we're 13th, over the last 10 games we're 15th.

We're in a relegation battle, absolutely, but let's not pretend the teams around us are firing on all cylinders. Both Southampton and Watford had nice little runs, but Watford are still down there, and the teams within a result or two above us, like Palace, Brighton and Newcastle are in dire form.

I'd love us to stay up based on our own upturn in form and results, ending up with a few unexpected wins and 40+ points, but right now I wouldn't rule out us staying up simply because there are three teams worse than us while we continue to average just over a point a game.
