After Saturday we've played them all home and away apart from Arsenal away last match of the season.
Surely that bodes well for us
it would be interesting to see how many of our rivals still have to go to multiple games with the top 4 whereas we have only one of those 'tough' fixtures remaining after Saturday
glass half full methinks
we just need to make damn sure we dont need anything from the last match to stay up.
and what price our first win away next Saturday ?

What's fantastic is at present we have 5 points from the top 4. I expected nil points.
A look now at our remaining 8 home games and they are all winnable,too much to expect I know-but the chances are there.
Remaining home games:Man.C/Portsmouth/Bolton/Blackburn/Middlesbrough/WHU/Newcastle and Wigan

I wouldnt read too much into that as we tend to play better against the bigger sides than we do against the likes of Hull, Fulham, Brazil etc

The odd point against the top 4 is not how you stay in this league.You do it by beating those clubs in a similar plight to yourself.However it is a major lift to the confidence of the club if you can 'get a result' against the top 4 clubs.
We need a good run now, so that come the end of the season it does not come down to the last game, which I believe is against Arsenal.

its against arsenal yes but chances are they will be playing for nothing unless its tight for 4th spot with villa and a champs league space is at stake.
improved squad and easier fixture list. surely were staying up?

Remaining home games:Man.C/Portsmouth/Bolton/Blackburn/Middlesbrough/WHU/Newcastle and Wigan 8 x 3(pts) = 24pts That's 45pts, so we can stay up on home form alone? |

Away - Man Utd
Away - Liverpool
Away - Arsenal
Away - Chelsea
Home - Villa
Home - Everton

That is good news, looks tough for Blackburn. I am confident we can do it to be honest.
