Hasnt been helped by having 3-4 key players out every week including our main CF.
Major changes needed in our conditioning department as has been an issue for too long. Most other sides can seem to play the same team bar the odd 1 or 2 most weeks whereas we have 2 keepers and some random kids on the bench at least half a dozen games if not more a season.

I think WHU offer us a chance. They can sometimes come unstuck at home.
If we can get an unbeaten run of 3 games it'll be massive...and decisive.
Ild still go for it in the cup too BTW.
Win at Burnley or Watford (Watford more likely, Burnley probably looking at scraping a draw) and we're in a better position.
As far as the run in goes I see it something like this:
Everton 27-25 - Winnable 5 Reasonable Prospect of Points 3 Unlikely to avoid Defeat (Liverpool, West Ham, Arsenal (unless critical)) 3
Brentford 29-30 - W 3 R 5 L 1 (Chelsea away)
Leeds 29-26 W 3 R 3 L 3 (Chelsea home, City home, Arsenal h)
Watford 29-22 W 6 R 0 L 3 (RS, City, Chelsea A)
Burnley 27-21 W 8 R 0 L 3 (City H, Spurs, West Ham A)
Norwich 29-17 W 2 R 5 L 1 (Man U A)
Treat games like Watford v Everton as winnable for either side. Home games against good sides as a possible result (draw?) and away games against the best 6-7 teams as a probable loss.
This kind of run in would produce a final table something like:
* Critical Head to Heads amongst the Bottom six indicated thus:
***Brentford 37
***Everton 36
***Burnley 33
**Leeds 32
****Watford 31
*Norwich 23
*Of course any big 6 pointer (e.g. Everton at Burnley or Watford) is crucial and if we lost both then we'd likely be very close to the drop.
Other big 6 Pointers include: Everton v Brentford, Watford v Brentford, Brentford v Leeds (final game), Watford v Leeds, Watford v Burnley, Norwich v Burnley

Need to pick up some points away from home, even the odd draw will help.
We need to absolutely make sure we do not lose to Burnley or Watford.

Need to keep it tight, we know how Davey will set up it will be a percentage game and they dont score many goals, but can wear you down, have to match fire with fire. Bowens been out - though not sure if hes due back. Pity we never got him.
Momentum is key, its back to basics really, fight battle, earn the foudation for your quality, total concentration and keep it compact beyond the high press.
Id still be going hard in the cup myself, its a great opportunity, to play without pressure and for the manager and squad to get time and games under their belts, its awful the likes of Dele and DVB are cup tied id want those two nipping at heels looking for a starting place Dele in particular, Joe used it to build momentum and spirit in 95 and it helped us in the league, look were it took us.....

I think we looked more solid tonight, playing
4-2-3-1, without looking like we could score, until DCL came on. I think Richarlison needs to be told that if he is playing centrally, he needs to stay central, otherwise it’s pointless. Hopefully DCL will play for the remaining games.
We have given ourselves a chance, it’s too early to set points totals, we will be dependant on other teams and other results, if we do as well or better than the teams around us each week we will be fine. Certainly it would be good psychologically to move up the table and put more distance between us and the bottom 3. But we are 3 points ahead of Watford now, with 2 games in hand

I'm trying to be confident. But the way we are playing is still a recipe for disaster. That was arguably our 2nd easiest game left and it was a bit of a miracle that we won it in the end.
The last 2 home games we've just had, Wolves and Newcastle we have had half of the shots of the opposition and half of the expected goals.
The fact of the matter is that we need to play better than that because we don't have the crowd in our next 2 league games. This has to be considered because just like the Southampton game away, we go into It confident but the tactics and style will have us second best in the game and most times that will result in a loss. A loss to Burnley will put them likely 1 point behind us at that point and then we have that dreaded run in.

Great result last night and in a manner that gives everyone a huge uplift. Another couple of wins and we’ll be secure.
The one thing that encouraged me was we did look a lot more dangerous when DCL came on as the focal point up front. Hopefully he can stay fit now for the remainder of the season.
