[Is it PotG?]

Cardiff look to be in the weakest position overall.

At 1/6 - 1/7 with the bookies, I think that's about right.

 

[zefarelly]

It should be Cardiff to drop, Southampton have a relatively easy run in, Burnley should be ok.

it's in our hands. beat Cardiff and we're safe . . .could be us Burnley and Bhaadiff on 36-37 points though. . . . squeaky!

 

[Butch Willykins]

I think 36 points should be ok, can’t see Cardiff getting beyond that.

Think we’ll finish 17th though.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

**Never rely on Bournemouth**

Guaranteed they will be beaten by Burnley.

 

[Bozza]

Cardiff will be thinking if they can turn us over they'll fancy their chances of winning at Fulham and following up with a win at home to Palace.

We had a let-off yesterday for sure.

 

[martin tyler]

4 points needed I think. If we beat Cardiff maybe just 3 as I don’t see them getting 8 for the other games. If Cardiff come to us though and do us over we could need another 6 at least

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

4 points from Chelsea, Bournemouth and Cardiff should be enough.

If we don't get that we'll no doubt need something from the Newcastle game.

 

[DavidRyder]

Chelsea did us a massive favour (eventually). I think the big one is for us to beat Cardiff. That result alone should do it.

 

[beorhthelm]

target should remain 40 pts. and do-able with our run in.

 

[nwgull]

Beat Cardiff and we're safe; I can't see them getting 9 points from their other 6 games.

 

[papajaff]

We have, because Cardiff are playing us.

Seriously though, it will take a monumental effort for Cardiff to give up that last relegation spot. Thankfully.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Cardiff have the toughest but they have winnable games. There is still much to play for. Not the time to go on a bad run !!!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The Albion will make hardest work of the run-in. Probably just do enough to scrape over the line though. This time.

 

[chaileyjem]

But this side has a very poor record in these relegation scraps. .

I've got enough faith we'll have enough to get 4 points from our next 3 homes games, and that would be pessimistic. I think we'll pick up 7 as it happens.

Premier League games require incredible levels of intensity. I think the emotion of beating Millwall, then the international break left us without an edge on Saturday, no matter how much they talk it up and convince themselves, it seemed self evident that our minds had drifted. As the run of games come thick and fast, I see us bouncing back especially at home.

 

[casbom]

If Cardiff play anywhere like they did yesterday, they could potentially beat Burnley and Palace. If we play "not to lose" like we did on Saturday against Cardiff, I dread to think how that one could turn out.

We should be fine, but the players need to get their heads our of their arses and scrap for points.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Burnley have the toughest, but also have 5 points over Cardiff. If we are above Burnley after their next two games, I think we will finish above Burnley.

Burnley v Cardiff is a bigger match than Brighton v Cardiff IMO.

 

[chaileyjem]

We should be fine, but the players need to get their heads our of their arses and scrap for points.

Which they did against Hudds and Palace.
