He won't be starting all of those games and will need time to build his match fitness up. Could still score a crucial goal or two in the run in from April but I wouldn't be expecting miracles straight away.

Would you sign Daniel Sturridge to help the cause? He’s a free agent now.

No more so than they are on every other single day of my miserable existence.

I honestly don't know where the next win comes from.
Leicester - 1pt
Newcastle - 1pt

The two I think we've got the best chance in are Sheffield Utd and Palace. We need to win both, but are we likely to win both?

Chelsea - 1pt (but looking at our record against top 6, it almost feels an inevitable loss)
West Ham - 1pt.
Wolves - 1pt.

At my most optimistic. I think we're looking somewhere between 33 points and 38 (if we can pull of a couple of surprises). 33 won't be enough. 38, by a shade, might be.
Not bricking it...not bricking it at all... :'(

You mean like Jack's thunderbolt against Derby on his return after 4 months out?

This season may not be completed if Covid-19 develops as it appears to be. The Swiss football season has already been suspended.....

I'm not convinced Jack's problem was just cramp.  If he's picked up a knock and is out for any period of time, I'd say that's us done and dusted.

Smith was quoted in the B'ham Mail saying it was just cramp....

Deulofeu out for the rest of the season. That will hurt Watford.

It's hard to pick results , as we get closer to end of the season we are going to play teams with differing motivations.An example we could play Liverpool who are champions and having lost the the unbeaten record who knows what performance they will  put in , add that they may rest players for CL

Palace could be safe and have little to play for

Leicester are dropping off and could be without Vardy again , their record of the last month or so inc the cup games against us have been pretty average.

The final one is West Ham , we could go there needing to stay up playing a team now safe coasting on their final home game of the season or a team battling to stay up with us ...

It's a cliche but really need to take each game as it comes now

Which should mean no promotions or relegations this season.😂😂😂
