We are level with the teams above us because we managed to score 2 points from 9 against the easier teams in our fixture list. Which is not good enough. I include Chelsea because they did not put out their very best side imo and were there for the taking. If we are still on a par with Bournemouth, Watford and West Ham after the next three games, then, then, we have a chance of staying up. The next 3 are massive. Saying that, so were the last three, and the three before that.

Ans while our results haven’t been great, they ha want been that bad. At the same time we’ve seen other teams around us not get any points from what you’d consider ‘easier’ fixtures against Palace and Burnley.

I'm impressed. I wonder if he will let us have Tammy and Kovacic in that case then! Our results have been absolute shite. We failed to win a single game, two of them at home. Chelsea are decent, but we bottled it. 2 points from 9 is crap.
Luke, this isn't about Chelsea. I don't care about them. This is about us playing three far easier games than the next three games and picking a whole 2 points. Also, the other teams in the relegation mix have only played 2 games, we've had the extra game, so to be level with them so far ain't that great really. I appreciate this wasn't your point my friend.
To state the obvious, so yes why am I then, we need a crazy, didn’t see that coming result.
So looking at the remaining fixtures, Bournemouth look to have a pretty tough run in. Watford and West Ham have to play each other and Norwich while we of course play West Ham on the last day. Whoever loses the Watford v West Ham game will be screwed in my opinion & a point won't be much good to either. If Norwich could also take a point off one of them that would be great. We have to keep the faith.
