Sunderland aren't good enough to stay up and too far back. Boro have fallen like a stone and hopefully won't reverse the trend. Palace have a particularly tough 9 games left and will get dragged back into the bottom 3. I think Hull and ourselves will scratch out enough points to just avoid the drop. Leicester, Bournemouth, Burnley enough points at this stage not to worry too much. So Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Palace would be my best guess at present.
If either of Hull ,Boro and Sunderland get on a roll I think we could be in a lot of trouble. Leicester and Palace above us have each won 3 in a row now ..
Self destruction by others wouldn't hurt taff , but if that's what we have to count on to stay up from here , our days our numbered . I hope we have the right guy to not only keep us up for next season but has a summer to refresh the look of the team to plan mid table finishes without worry from next season on for a few years . My guess for this season is we need a combination of the bottom three and us playing equally good and bad so we retain a spot next season . If we do go on a roll , better still .
Lose or draw against Boro and we will be favourites for the drop and deservedly so as we cant beat bottom sides that cant win themselves....
They estimate 36points might be the relegation threshold this season. Which means we need at least another 10 points. We need to get at least 6 of those in April to avoid squeaky bum May!
Swansea Boro Sunderland My new bottom droppers, now that PC honeymoon is well and truly over, we offered absolutely nothing against a very poor West Ham, no shape and no cutting edge in the final third, time to prepare for the Championship .............
Looking like a straight fight between Swans & Hull now. Coming to the final hurdle. I fancy Hull to win it, there is more fight in Hull. HULL (30 points) Stoke A Watford H Saints A Sunderland H Palace A Spurs H SWANSEA (28 points) Watford A Stoke H Man Utd A Everton H Sunderland A WBA H If it does go down to the last game of the season then we have the easier game against WBA where Hull have Spurs?
