We only have 3 fixtures left out of 20 against the other clubs within the bottom 11.
Hudd look equally in the mire in terms of their run in.
Yet the NSC part of the fanbase appear very relaxed about all this, confident even and the betting markets don't have us going down.
Is the confidence across the NSC blind faith or is it rational?
For me its a bit of both. That, and the fact that there are other teams, near and below us, in decline, while we are in the ascendency. Unless we get the business done against Swansea and some points agains the bigguns it's going to be tight as ****. Confident we can do it,
Run in now looks even more daunting, with the rearranged Man City away match likely to be one of our final five fixtures. Hoping that they sandwich it between Man United (H) and Liverpool (A), where at Anfield we are unlikely to get a result anyway, and the fatigue from playing another match will be coming at a more appropriate time. Would hate for our players to be knackered going into Burnley, knowing it's our best shot at any more points
IF we lost to Swansea, what do reckon - likely staying up or on being relegated?
Taxi for Jim?At least we have the game (v Man United)....I see West Ham look like they don’t play between 10th and 31st March. Nice three week “warm weather training” break...?
That's why it is vital they stay in the mix by beating Huddersfield on Saturday.West Brom will be relegated and are going to gift points to our rivals. I don't like it.
According to the difficulty of that table, neither Huddersfield or Newcastle should have won today but they did. I think in the last third of the season, the form book goes out of the window.
