Relegation

[blue to the bone]

All those who had us dead and buried a month ago now. What say ye !

 

[maccavennie]

Is it safe to breathe yet?

Not yet, not by a long way.

We need to rest, recover (the fans that is not the players) and we'll need to play even better to win on Wednesday against Watford.

We cant take any game for granted and we need the points asap so Wednesday is a great chance to really put us in the driving seat to avoid the drop.

That’s us safe now.

That's what Leeds and burnley were saying not so long ago.

 

[bitter-no-better]

2 wins from 4 will sort it. Massive win that

Not even a month ago, I'd say a week ago was make or break with that Chelsea game.

2 massive wins ON THE BOUNCE

@MikeH72

Your statement was still completely and utterly wrong and we have had to work incredibly hard for our points, thanks for reading x

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.

Sure, but that's all "ifs" for now.

I don't see Leeds picking up 5 points either, but many of us couldn't see Everton beating Chelsea or where the next away win was coming from. Things can turn around very quickly in football and the unexpected can happen (as you just said), so to declare it as home and dry is crazy talk right now.

I mean if your arse wasnt going when we were 5 points away from safety, well fair play to ya.

 

[brieverton]

Not safe till we are safe. Football is weird enough.

Not needing snookers so can take care of ourselves now.

We are on the way to safety but must cross that line, and the sooner the better.

I'm one of them and I say it's not over yet.

We've had an incredible set of results lately and I'm delighted with it but I make no apology to say I thought we were gone after the Burnely defeat (earlier if I'm being honest) and we are not safe by any stretch. Only when that becomes a mathematical certainty will I rest easy.

Never in doubt mate, dunno what everyone was worrying about, ‘kin bedwetters.

 

[skumar55]

Watford game is huge, if we can get three points it will give us the buffer we need ??

 

[knowing your history]

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

No pressure on Watford but they are really terrible and given some of Hodgson's interviews recently he's hardly going to give a motivational speech pre match on Wednesday.

Same formula today as imo....get into them first half hour, get a goal and hopefully more comfortable than today's second half!

While it wouldn't be 100% certain, 38 points with two home games left is a dream position to be in considering the state of the table at 5pm last Saturday.

But it's looking increasingly likely to be correct.
