Relegation

[ah11984]

Work to do but bookies makes us generally about 10/1 to get relegated now…

 

[PhilM]

Its fantasy land, it really is.

Still ALL to play for.

By next Saturday, we could be four points ahead. Can I see both of Leeds and Burnley getting a minimum of a win and a draw - no chance.

 

[gonetomorrow]

I'm not bothered about Leeds. I want Burnley to go down. They've hung on long enough.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Can’t see Leeds or Burnley getting more than 3 points from their run ins so 1 more win should do it for us.

 

[Infernus]

We can’t get complacent now. The lads still need to fight like we are deep in the brown stuff to make sure we are safe by the time the Arsenal game comes around. Can’t be playing at 50% against Watford. A couple more massive performances needed. I hope we can do it, my poor dripping wet sheets are coming apart at the seams!

 

[Saint Domingo]

Huge win, puts us in a really good position. Still it would be nice not to have to win both home games so need to at least get something at Watford

 

[Davidoff]

Is it safe to breathe yet?

 

[Neiler]

Carragher still taking the piss by saying Leeds will now get confidence from that to take on Chelsea.

Id like to be four points clear mate by that fixture, with two home fixtures to come another couple of points does us then with games running out.

Huge opportunity we can’t leave behind, with Burnley playing Spurs and Leeds playing Chelsea, to pull clear.

We’ve worked hard for it.

 

[Brennan]

Ayling got a straight red for Leeds to, gone now for the season, huge loss for them.

Their fans don’t seem to think so.

 

[DanB90]

That’s us safe now.

don’t tempt it ffs.

 

[ToffeeTim]

That’s us safe now.

Nope, we need to aim for another 6 points. 5 should be enough, 4 might be enough, but let's take care of business ourselves

 

[blue to the bone]

Our last 5 games we got 10 points from Leicester x 2 , man United , Chelsea and the rs.. we ain't goin down

 

[steven]

10 points out of a possible 15 since Burnley has been fantastic tbf - especially considering how they could have easily folded given past experiences. It’s their fault we are in this mess but credit for them rolling up their sleeves when it’s been more or less last chance saloon.

 

[Sporting Billy]

Play like the last two and it will be a comfortable win at Watford even with the defensive injuries. 38 points is safety imo as I don't see Leeds picking up 5 points from their final three.

Today was huge to break the away win hoodoo and after that two home games and we know team is getting extra 10% currently from feeding off the crowd.

Seemed a pipedream just 8 days ago to think safety could be confirmed before final day but it's a very realistic prospect now.

Maybe I’m being over fearful but I’m wary of going to Watford with a patched up side. Pressure will be off the Hornets now. Long way to go yet.
A positive is that Chelsea can’t afford another slip up so will have to be up for it on Wednesday at Leeds

 

[ToffeeTim]

Their fans don’t seem to think so.

They are short on options due to injuries though. Dallas was a big loss too last weekend
