Is that possible with our remaining fixtures? I actually think so now after seeing the Leicester game! Southampton 1-3p Man C 0p Everton 3p Arsenal 0p Tottenham 0p West Ham 1-3p Burnley 3p Lpool 0p Palace 3p Swansea 1-3p If I'm right it will mean 12-14 points which should keep us up!  |

It means that if we’re pretty much going to have to surprises one or two of the big boys, otherwise there is no margin for error whatsoever.

We have a chance. With a bit more luck we'd be in a much better position

We need to be picking up more points than we are doing currently, but we are picking up points.

THAT penalty could well be the difference between staying up and going down.

To think of the points we've tossed away against Bournemouth, Watford and Brighton.
Just a point at Bournemouth and win one if those home games and we would be two wins and two draws away from safety.
Christ!

We have the worst away record in English football - what makes you think that we are capable of winning at West Ham, Southampton or Swansea? Throw in the fact that we've won one of our last nine games (against 'beatable' opposition) and it looks pretty bleak. Basically we need a miraculous turn of form! |

I think 12 will probably do it from here.
But when you see how difficult it is to close out games, that seems like a hell of a lot, because we probably aren't 'better' than any of the teams we'll be playing.
We'll probably have to beat Everton, Burnley and Palace.
Get at least a point at Southampton.
And eke out a couple more points, probably at West Ham and Swansea.
The problem is there's pretty much no margin for error now if we come up short anywhere

The problem is that the teams in or around us have won games in the last 5 whereas we can't seem to buy a win from anywhere. Soton on paper look a more balanced team throughout and I am concerned that on their day and they 'click' they can string a couple of wins on the bounce off. With our striking options I can not see that happening. To have a 37year old as your top striker option is one big worry or fuck up whichever way you dress it up!!

If we had taken the full six points out of the last two games I would feel a little more confident. Draws are not going to be enough, we need a couple of wins quickly.

I wish you hadn't posted that , it's a terrifying run in , somehow we need to avoid going in to the last 2 games needing 6 points because the pressure would kill us.
I still suspect if we are to stay up we will need to take a Big 6'er down before the season is out.

Hard to make predictions but at least we are generally looking fitter, more confident and more organised with every game. We are still to play the 3 teams currently above us and have some big home games where the atmosphere should take care of itself. We have every chance of staying up.
However we won't score many so I think we will have to keep a good few clean sheets.

But after another game when we've thrown points away with another sweet surrender I sit here wishing I was lucky. But I still believe somewhere somehow, even if it's with a little help from our friends we won't shed a tear at the seasons end. Sorry I can't be arsed any more this is silly |

I'm hopeful for a minimum of 10 points, which could mean Relegation or 11 points or more which could also mean Relegation. But, I'm looking on The bright and cheerful sunny side... Stoke Stay Up :-p |

Most seasons a struggling club will go on a late run to escape the drop.......Fulham, Leicester, Swansea, Chrystal Palace and probably many more. I thought Swansea were the club this year but it looks like it was too early and they are back in the mire. I think PL has got the team more or less as a cohesive unit playing for each other. It’s now down to a bit of luck and most of all confidence.

Take CM out of the equation for not tracking back and that whipped in cross could have deflected of Jack into a dozen different places but bad luck conspired to deflect it into the net. You make your own luck is something often spoken by pundits, I would agree with that but confidence will help that happen. |

It's not bad luck to let a regulation catch through your hands and deflect off your arms into the net. It was a shocking error from a bloke who aspires to be England's keeper in Russia. Give footballers an excuse and they will take it. |

That's not bad luck, that's lack of ability from the footballer, pure and simple. Actually it's the complete opposite of what you're suggesting ... We were very LUCKY to get awarded a very soft penalty right at the end of the game that a lot of other referees wouldn't have given and then we immediately got a SECOND piece of luck when the goalkeeper's save of a rather poor penalty resulted in the ball landing a couple of yards off the goal line in the centre of an open goal and we STILL couldn't score, that's not being unlucky, that's being just plain rubbish. |
