The next three games,
Mboro
Wigan
Barnsley
we must win to avoid relegation.
Agree?
I can't see any win from the last five of this season.
At the same time, promotion is still within reach theoretically. 😁

We can win any game We know we've massively underperformed for the last 3 seasons at best, We've recruited appalling, But that's really hit home how shit we now are. All that money wasted and we are trying to survive another relegation. |

We won’t win all 3 of those games.
We will win at least one of those final 5.
We’ll stay up.

It’s going to be squeaky bum all the way. No way this lot of players will make it a comfortable journey.

A win on Saturday and regardless of results elsewhere we will be 5 points clear of the relegation zone

At the same time, promotion is still within reach theoretically. 😁 Why do we need to win the next three games to stay up? Why on earth can’t we win any of the last five? Have you seen how shit Hull are? We need to win two of our last eight games. If we can’t do that we fully deserve to go down. |

In my opinion those two home games are key games to our survival. Not only because two wins will give us six points, but because they are relegation rivals too, so in fact victories in those two games will mean more than six points in reality. Let's say we only get 2 points from the next 3 games, then we really are in for a nail-biting end of the season. I really hope we will be better off than that after our next 3 games! Time will tell though, we only have views on this anyway!  |

Win the next two home games will be the key, Wigan will be tough, they are the form team in the division over the last 5 games, won 4 and drew 1, a point there would be a decent point at this stage of the season, unless we lose to Boro

Home form been ok under MON BBurn was poor and Preston unlucky but as someone has said is a free for all this league. Only plus point is that only Boro have beaten us as far as the struggling teams go and a desperate decision swung that. 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in the last 9 at home. |

52 points should be enough so if we can't win 3 from 8 then we deserve to go down. Those last 5 teams we play will be hoping we win the next three because, otherwise, they'll be playing a team battling against relegation. I have every confidence that Michael O'Neil will keep us up.
Getting that first game done with a point away from home and MON able to assess things was a bonus.
OS.

We could lose all of those eight games and still stay up, if Hull+2 fail to gain any.
It's impossible to speculate on such matters. Just concentrate on the one game that's ahead and win it.

At the same time, promotion is still within reach theoretically. 😁 No Of course we will win some of the last five games 8 games left, we will win at least 3 and it could be any 3 Away at Leeds just as likely as at home to Barnsley Why? Because the Championship isn't very good Because we win half our games under O'Neil We will lose 3 as well Best case scenario 4 wins 3 defeats and a draw Worst case 3 wins 4 defeats and a draw Either way we stay up |

You're assuming we will carry on where we left off - which may well be true but there is a possibility we won't - and if we don't I can see that early season lack of confidence kicking in. I think we will stay up - but I do think these next three games are critical in terms of whether we do pick up from where we left off. I genuinely think we need 6 points minimum from those games to be safe because if we don't I can see the nerves kicking in. |

All that money wasted and we are trying to survive another relegation. I know. When you look at where we were just 4 seasons ago and now we’re trying to scrape results against Wigan etc. This really is a shit squad. On the plus side if we hadn’t appointed O’Neil. We wouldn’t even be discussing these next three games. We’d already be down ! |

We need three points on Saturday. Period. If we don’t win there is every chance we’ll go into a funk or the usual Stoke luck will kick in and us out. That’s why it’s imperative that O’Neill pick his very best team against ‘Boro without worrying about who he’ll play on Wednesday. Fortunately, I have 100% faith that he will do that.

Boro is a massive game now
Because if they win their first match under Warnock , they will start to believe and confidence is everything in football
If we beat Boro, we do ourselves a huge favour
If Boro win , it will turn their season
Huge game
Why couldn't They have kept woodgate ? He was hopeless !
