Can't help noticing that swansea seem to keep on getting the same results as us
our last 4 results have been the same. It will be interesting to see where we can finish in the league. All three sides have players missing so do u think we will finish above them or not? There is a mini league between the 3 teams so what do u think this league will look like? This is my table:
west ham 1st
stoke 2nd
swansea 3rd

I would think it will be close.
Swansea top,West Ham bottom.
We play both away,guess those results will be key.

I'm backing Stoke to top the trio because Stoke have the least difficult fixtures remaining.
1. Stoke have 7 out 12 remaining matches at home and only 1 match that is an odds on defeat which is away to Chelsea.
2. Swansea have lost Bony, 7 out of 12 matches away from home, and have no clear cut winning fixtures. They have 4 matches against top 6 clubs and the weakest team they face at home is Hull who are improving and on a roll.
3. West Ham have good number of winnable home fixtures like Stoke, but seem to have lost the winning habit and are drawing a lot of matches. They have a very difficult away programme left. Like Swansea they have to visit 3 bottom clubs who will be fighting desperately to avoid relegation and like Wigan and Sunderland in previous seasons will cause some major upsets.
I think Stoke will pip WHU who will be above Swansea.

They drew at ManC, then had the above 2 wins which is their best run of results this season, and after their disastrous run of results since October. For them that's "on a roll"!  |

To get 8th would be a fantastic achievement for the club, and it's certainly within reach. Top 10 would be great still though. And with some of the problems we've had to deal with regarding injuries I think it'll certainly show why this contract extension is worth it for Hughes.
I'll go for then
8th Stoke
9th West Ham
10th Swansea
As someone pointed out above, the fixtures against them two could prove key, and a win tomorrow would certainly help us.
