If we can avoid loosing in our last 3 games 3 draws is what we need then we are safe. We got to stay positive and try to get result in all those games.It would really help if Tomkins could be back so we dont could have an option at the center back.
Next 2 fixtures are crucial so go out and get points on the board!!!

Not sure why everyone is so worried, we will stay up even with no more points, there is no way that Swansea will not drop points from their last three games. Chill everyone.

They did just get a point at Man U and were the better side, then they have Everton who have nothing to play for really, Sunderland who are s*** and the WBA who seem to have gone on their holidays... That is why we are worried especially when we just lost to Burnley and have Hull in a few weeks

Take a look at the results; everyone gets a point at Man U.

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Even though we are 6 points clear of Swansea, our goal difference is 19 better than theirs, which is basically a point so they cannot lose a game, I think they will bottle one of the three

Swansea will lose against Everton.
They are under tremendous pressure.

I have a feeling we'll get something at Citeh.

I fear Swansea will get 7 points minimum so we need one more point.
Somehow we have to beat Hull at our place in two weeks time.
Jeez just imagine if we hadn't beaten three of the top 6 teams recently - we would be down already!

Possibly. But they can drop two points and still overtake us if we pick up none.

We may end up getting the points needed from the games against the big boys rather than against Hull. We appear to be happier under BFS in just defending and getting a breakaway goal a la Burnley. BFS unfortunately is a one style pony he does not know how to organise a team to break down solid defences he only knows how to hit teams on the break, hence our chances are better against the big boys.

its a good trick. Leicester won the league by playing that way, lowest number of passes, lowest shots on target and 43% possession. It must be possible to play that way at home to some extent

After losing 4-0 to Sunderland (and then at Stoke the following week), we had an extra week off. That gave Allardyce the time he needed to work with the squad and get some players back from injury. After that we went on a tear in which we beat WBA, Middlesboro, Watford and Chelsea. We slipped up at Southampton (on short rest) and then beat Arsenal, tied with Leicester and beat Liverpool. Then, on short rest, we lost to Spurs and Burnley.

The pattern here isn't big club or little club; the pattern is +/- 4 days between games.

We have a minimum of 6 days each between the next three fixtures.

Sunderland hold the key. How many times once relegated do a team relax and pull off a couple of belated results. They play both Swansea and Hull and I think could end up doing us a favour.

I fear it will come down to the Hull game, but I think a draw will do, though I must admit I fancy we'll get something at Manure on the last day anyway.

We've had 3 games in 6 days, and 8 in April. A few days of rest and Sam getting into them on the training ground and I think we'll see a different level of performance than that against Burnley.

Watford lost tonight and whilst they have little chance of being relegated, their run-in is hell and they will struggle I fear

Leicester CityvWatford
EvertonvWatford
WatfordvManchester City

We have a chance of getting above Watford.
