Survival/relegation thread - MAKE YOUR JUDGEMENT

[London Irish]

OK, deadline day has passed, we now know the cards McGhee has to play with in these last 7 games - time for everyone to make their best judgment, on the balance of probabilities, whether we're staying up or not.

Shock horror, I reckon we'll get the two wins or the one win/few draws we need to survive, but what do YOU think?

[Brighton Boy]

to be honest i have a gut feeling that we will go down.

we have not got the goals in us

Relegation for me

Not enough posative signs coming from the club for me to think anything else.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Down, I fear ... I think 7 points is the minimum, and I can see us struggling to get that. If we are to survive, I think it'll be a last-day thingy.

 

[clapham_gull]

I think we'll do it - just.

Charlie and particular Alexis need to get back some of that form they showed earlier on in the season.

Carpenter will be back.

.. and you'll like this LI, Virgo needs to play up front for the remainder of the season (and not get sent off)

 

[Kaney]

8 points from 7 games is too much an ask for a team that has relied on 1-0 all season, at this rate I don't see another clean sheet in us

 

[Alby]

Heart says stay up, but unfortunately head says down due to having noone scoring regularily.

Hope the heart is right.

 

[Legend]

I fear the worst. The Coventry game is massive. If we can avoid defeat then I think we will stay up but it will be close.

 

[itszamora]

I think we will stay up. Hinsh's injury is a huge blow both for the rest of this season and a lot of next (as well as for the guy himself obviously) but I think the players are too determined to let us fail again.

And as they have shown on numerous occasions this season, they ARE good enough.

 

[Attilio the Hun]

Some great results . . . among the overwhelming dross.
And a tough run-in.

Cheerio.

 

[blueandwhitearmy]

I think we'll be in more of a position to make a decision after another few games, it's just too close to call at the moment. But then again I've always been an optimist so...

Yeah We'll Do It!

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

It will be close, VERY close. It is to close to call so that is all I will say about it.

 

[dougdeep]

It will be close, VERY close. It is to close to call so that is all I will say about it.

Can I share your fence?

Can I copy and paste this for a Palace thread?

IMHO the players have just about used up all their stocks of adrenalin for the time being, what with raising their game for a large number of highly-unlikely wins against superior-on-paper opposition this season. They seem to me to be just plain knackered (hence the sudden spate of non-contact injuries). A bit of a break, a couple of new faces keen to stake their claim and we'll be nicely set up for the traditional death-or-glory charge to the line. When the going gets tough, the Albion get going. As it were.

Keep The Faith!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Nineteenth ...

... nervous breakdown.

 

[sams dad]

We are staying up,say we are staying up.

 

[Starry]

I think there are two (after Rotherham) teams in the division worse than Brighton.

I really hope you guys stay up.
