Relegation

Wolves will do Burnley tomorrow IMO. Unfortunately think we will get absolutely hammered.

If Burnley are beaten, we'll go into that game ahead by one point with two in hand, which is us at an advantage and can mean defeat to the RS is affordable.

In the end, we have to focus on our own results first and foremost, but Wolves could do us a massive favour tomorrow.

Current bottom two look truly sunk based on current scorelines.

It’s on us to finish ahead of Burnley now. With a game in hand, it’s in our hands.

hope so mate

I think tomorrow it will be there result is more important. We won't get anything.

Burnley's form is probably the best it's been all season. WLDW. Unfortunately they're picking up points and a win tomorrow for them is a good possibility. Said it months ago, but with our run in we needed a bigger buffer at the end of March.

exactly. if they win we aren’t coming back from the bottom3

We need this.

10 games ago.

I was calling for that in 2016.

Aye, for tomorrow goes against the grain as we're unlikely to get anything, however in general we need to simply match their points - that's our doing.

We shouldn't rely on Burnley dropping points.

Then you ruined it all by falling to your knees for a kopite.

Moshiri gave Roberto the heave ho - that was the beginning of the end.

No. We need to get 9 or 10 more .. but obviously everyone they drop helps

Brentford playing well. People seem to think this is an easy three points. I don’t think that will be the case.

Moshiri gave Roberto the heave ho - that was the beginning of the end.

His choices of managers have been shocking, his spending horrific, but I will give him credit for 1 thing, he sacked every single manager at the correct time.

Bar maybe the fat kopite who should have been sacked after an hour.

They had all proven they deserved the sack, but only Martinez was given 3 years to show what an utter fraud he really was.

Was just about to post this...people think that's a done deal as a home win but they're one of the most inform teams in the league and think Thomas Frank will want to finish top 10 as that's a historic achievement for them. And Eriksen will cause endless problems in midfield like he used to do in his Spurs games.

Hopes they'll be intimidated by the Gladys is a bit naive I fear. Interested if Lampard switches to 3-5-2 for that otherwise fullbacks could be swamped by how they play.

Brentford at home in the run in is no different to playing Wolves at home imo, indeed Brentford in much better form and they've started very well v Spurs.

If Burnley win tomorrow then we are odds on to go down. If they don't win it helps us a lot. Our game is a one in a thousand chance and basically a write off. The Burnley Wolves game is what will determine the rest of our season.
