I think we'll stay up. As others have said, it won't be pretty, it won't be comfortable but he knows what he's doing and he'll get us safe.

I hope you're right because it won't be easy getting out of the Championship, just ask the likes Leeds, Wolves,Sheffield Wednesday, Birmingham, Norwich, QPR,Blackburn and so it goes on!

Swansea just did the double over us and we looked poor, so a real risk.

Trying really hard to be positive, that was probably the worst we've played for a long while. ...but if the ref gives that penalty and send there keeper off, I think they collapse, we get a bit more confidence and win...we really do seem to have more than our fair shhare of bad luck and bad decisions.keeps being said every game..Small margins...

I am not sure I agree the OP. I suspect we will scrape survival by the skin of our teeth if only because there are at least 3 worse teams than us. Yes, we lost to one of those. However, I have not been so grumpy [I woke in the middle of the night still seething] since Fulham... and look what happened to that little renaissance. However, we need to prepare for a very difficult January and early February. Not the ideal time given the relatively benign fixtures. We have several walking wounded slowly recovering; we have one key player out for the season; we have several First XI players coming back this month; our best player is away and may not return fully fit; we may buy new players but only at the end of the month; and he/they will require bedding down; and a new manager who is taking longer than our previous "saviours" to get a foothold. Reasons for optimism? Not many. 2 left footed players will balance the team; SA is a proven manager who will come good; Macarthur, Mandanda, Remy(?), Benteke and various half-fit players to hit full fitness towards the end of January; and a good rest for the whole team from now to next Saturday. However, the main reason is that stated above - there are worse teams [believe it or not after last night]; and when we play a fit, rested, better prepared team our relative quality will show. Just.

There are definitely no worse teams than us at this present time in the Premiership looking at the last few games.

The only saving grace is that there are a lot of shockingly average teams in the prem and the three relegation places could be taken up by anyone of about 6 clubs, so far to early to start wetting knickers just yet. However it's going to be close, and I know last night was pisspoor, but we did have two clear cut penalty's denied to us by what I can only assume to be massive Official error, meaning we should have had a minimum of three goals (assuming benteke didn't take the pens). Our current injury list is nearly a full first team. Dann and wilf and Sako are off to the AFCON. We also had 24 hours less recovery time than them, and it showed. Clearly there are fitness issues at the club, but that's NOT SA doing, that's mildews fault. Way to early to talk about going down with a new manager. I just hope now some people can see what an absolute pr1ck AP was. Edited by dannyh (04 Jan 2017 2.24pm)

3 games - West Ham, Everton & Bournemouth. Would be nice to get 6 points from those but, realistically, more likely 3. That's literally on deadline day. You'd hope we're not still looking around by then. Wishful thinking maybe.

Not convinced we will (stay up), it's different to previous seasons when we looked poor on paper but had fight and togetherness on and off the pitch. We have a shocking injury list and no real strength in depth and no willingness to risk the youngsters.

You'll be amazed the difference two or three new signings can make. Get macarthur back and a few games out if remy and we should be ok..
