Whats Enough, To Stay Up?

Do not underestimate how focused Sparky and the management team have the players at the moment and I really think we will beat WBA, Spurs, Stoke and Man City, if they cant win the league. Mark Hughes tactical awareness has been outstanding lately and lump on QPR to beat Spurs as they are another tippy tappy, play it out from the back outfit like Arsenal and Swansea.

[Yousef]

38 will surely be enough. WBA, Stoke and Spurs: Win two and draw one of them. 37 points could also be enough depending on other results.

Lets just take 1 game at the time and not get carried away. WBA game is the only one that matters for now.

Tough call the turning point could be this weekend with Bolton not playing.

If we win and so do Wigan that will put Bolton 5 points from saftey with 2 games in hand but more importantly it will drag Villa in which is one of these games and as they wont get anything from Man U at old trafford they will be desperate.

Problem is Bolton are a funny side and have the easiest runin as I feel they can target points from most of there games, so for us to stay up I feel we need to finish above either Wigan or Villa, as Blackburn and Wolves I fear are not going to catch us.

I think your going to need 3 wins as i think Wigan will get to 40 points, Villa will get another 3 or 4 and Bolton i am not sure off.

Simply our games are going to get bigger and bigger game by game as we have no more room for muck ups and that starts with WBA, we need those 3 points.

I agree, still think Blackburn can go on a mini run, they are not out of it. We need to go on a run ourselves, problem is we follow great victories with monumental defeats when we need back to back wins to give us some clear water from the chasing
pack.

What is giving me confidence is big new signings like Barton, Diakite, Anton and Zamorra have started pumping and will be bolstered by cisse while our championship players who carried the team for most of the season (Mackie, Adel, hill and Kenny) seem more comfortable with the set up, it's a great blend and we are starting to look like a proper premiership football team.

A real shame that Wigan won last night.
United should have had a penalty. What a shame they didn´t get it:=B:. The run-inn will be a very tough one for us now.

Anyway; I think we will beat WB.

We must get at least a point on Saturday and hope Swansea beat Blackburn. The main thing is that survivial is in our own hands, the longer we are out of the bottom 3, the more pressure there will be on Blackburn, Bolton and Wigan.

They will not go down without a fight and there is still a huge way to go.

[Gtleighsr3]

3 wins and hope to nick 2 draws

[MattyRangers]

Anything thats better than 3 other sides.

My guess is that will be about 38 points. Would love 3 more wins to, hopefully, see us safe. But I think 2 and a draw will be good enough... Although could make for a very tense end to the season

[SpankwiR]

I think we will stay up on goal difference

[Gtleighsr3]

I still think villa will go down

[Terry-Mancini-123]

That Wigan result was a real hammer blow; they will get great confidence from it, back in the race when we had them as down with Wolves, AND it brings Citeh back into the title race which augurs badly for us for our last game.

[maidstone_hoop]

3 more wins and we def stay up! I think 2 wins and a draw we are in woth a great chance to stay up but not definite! Bolton are so hat to call and Wigan have hot me a bit worried ATM!
If we get back to bak wins against wb this weekend I tink that will be pivotal in is staying up!

My concern and it's been hanging over my head for months are that Blackburn, Bolton and Wigan are the worst three teams to have around you in this type of scenario. They are like the 3 ugly, fat, slightly dirty northern birds one inevitably met in night clubs circa 1993 who like black widow spiders knew what they want and knew how to get it. When all your mates had disappeared whether by pulling talent early doors or being so drunk they fell asleep somewhere, it was guaranteed that I was left at 2am surrounded by 3 ogres who you simply couldn't shake off. When you just wanted to be home to watch Sir Les run riot on MOM that you had recorded on your trusty VHS with a nice cup of Rosie, you knew one of those pigs in knickers was going to ruin you and
your night.
