Can't see us getting relegated, but as for the explosive end of season run well those fireworks look pissed on.

Gus will be spelling out the consequences for players not getting the win today.

But this is the all new improved team, we will get the win today & change the stats a little

11 of those 21 games (3 draws not 6, I misread my records) took place under poyet. Only one of the three draws was under poyet.

The team is only all new and improved when it comes to scoring first. Otherwise, there's no real change.

er........6 points off relegation as it stands..... no course there's no need for a little nervousness ???!!

I'm roughly 0.4% nervous about us going down. So perhaps a LITTLE nervousness yes, but very very very very little. A LOT of unlikely things would still have to happen for us to go down.

Anyone else think we're missing something upfront. Dickinson and Forster have to be a better bet than Banres and Holroyd.

Nonsense. That's how a robot would see it (ie someone who based EVERYTHING on stats). This team is MASSIVELY different to that of the first half of the season in many ways, regardless of stats.

Looking at the league table, it is impossible for us to be back in the relegation zone by the end of Tuesday.

That's true - but it will mean nervous looks over our shoulder again if we lose both. I personally don't think we are out of the shit yet.

Remember the season under McGhee in the Championship - we all thought we were safe in March? Took until the last day to save ourselves, and if we aren't careful it could happen again.

Acker, could you find out what our WDL record is with Hoyte in the side? I'm fairly sure it's dreadful, I reckon he's a curse on us.

Northampton thought they were safe last season.

Yes, I was referring to the ability to come back from conceding first. Regarding quality, entertainment, etc. it is massively improved. Results wise, when we concede first there is no change.

Dicko not even in the Peterborough squad by the looks of it and Forster won't be playing for the Albion again methinks

We are 6 points off relegation but it rather presumes 6 specific teams (orient included) do better than us. Can't see it myself but if we are to go for promotion next year Gussy still has a lot of work to do on this team.

Tranmere Exeter still to play each other
Orient still to play Milwall and Norwich (in fact Milwall away is their last game of the season) still have to play Stockport

Oldham and Southend still to play We still have to play Southend

If I were to back a team to go down it would be Orient.
