One horror is we get replaced by our charming neighbours from Sandwell. Another is we renew acquaintances with the homeless mob. Bleurgh.

Honestly trying to look at where points could come from

Sheff United H - win

Palace H - win

Arsenal H - win (this in my head feels like the game in the 90’s when we beat Liverpool 2-0 with yorke goals end of season)

Chelsea H - lose (could draw)

United H - lose (could draw)

Newcastle A - draw

Dogheads H - draw

Liverpool away - lose

Leicester away - lose

Everton away - draw

West Ham A - draw

That’s 13 points

Yeah we'd stay up with that. More optimistic than me.

Have a good feeling for Newcastle and also Crystal Palace but many others have feel of Spurs games. Games we could draw but conspire to lose.

Man. United and Arsenal are starting to get some consistancy now and going for top 4/5 after being s*** for most of this season.

Sheff U could easily be a defeat that’s us on 10 then (that won’t be enough) but same time a rocking VP could see us beat Wolves so that’s 12 (37 would keep us up imo)

I’m probably less optimistic about the early games and more about the later games as I think SJM coming back and getting up to speed could be massive.

Just imagine, if from strong positions in each of these three games, we had got draws against Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs at home. We'd be on 28 points and fairly relaxed about things after this round of games.

We have thrown away so many points.

That said, we are so fortunate that the teams around us have started to struggle too.

I cannot see us matching either West Ham or Watford as they seem to have a bit more streetfighting ability and physicality than we do, certainly Watford anyway.  I can't see where the next win is coming from.  I hold Smith and Pitarch for leaving us with a completely inept midfield, from a defensive point of view.  We are sleepwalking to relegation.

Agree with you in terms of not knowing where next wins coming from. I’m usually an optimist but the hammer blow of losing to spurs the way we did and the no show yesterday, has brought forward a massive villa cloud that’s hard to shift.

Not sure why anyone would think though,  Watford or West Ham have anymore than us. Last 7 games we have 7 points (2 wins, 1 drawn, 4 losses), Watford have 8 points (2 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses), West Ham have 5 points (1 win, 2 draws, 4 defeats) and West Ham’s win came in Moyes first game in charge 7 games ago. There is nothing in recent form to suggest they are playing any better than us. I wonder if their fans are on their forums saying they have more street fighting qualities or whatever that villa, same goes for Bournemouth.

We are in the shite I’m not trying to deny that, IM not one to simply blame the manager, though ability to motivate the team if nothing else lies at his door. I think the players are massively low on confidence and in some cases low on ability. Stating the obvious but we need to dig out a win from somewhere in any fashion

Difficult to say with Sheffield United. They've been brilliant but feels inevitable they'll ease off once they hit 40 points. They weren't that great v Brighton yesterday.

Still been a poor match up for us in last two years (that game we won with that late Snoddy goal we were completely battered in) and we are nowhere near playing 3-5-2 aswell as they and Wolves do so don't think it's a simple case of just matching them with formations and we'd win.
