We'll only be three points from safety if the teams above us loose. But do you really think bournemouth, everton, stoke and West ham are going to be in the bottom 3 af the end of the seaDon. It's more likely to be Brighton, Huddersfield, Newcastle, Swansea. ....so its these teams points we should be looking at, and we've given them one hell of a head start..

Hopefully you will stop posting negative stuff then and the rest of us can continue to support the club.

I remember someone started a we are down type thread after the Sunderland game last season and they were wrong.

We don't need negative posters like you just nown.

In the current age many PL games are based on fine margins and being pragmatic in many of the games this season the result could have gone either way. The difference, as I see it, between lost causes like Sunderland and Villa and ourselves is that we could (and in some cases should) have picked up more points this season and we also have some very good players. We also seem to have maintained some level of team spirit.

Hodgson is getting us organised again and seems as tactically astute as Sam was. There is no hiding from the fact that not having another striker has cost us, but the reality is we have to forget about that until January and get behind the team. After all, it's not their fault we don't have a striker and they are most definitely showing a willingness to fight.

Those who are throwing in the towel is understandable, but I just hope the players have more guts and spirit. If not then we will go down.

We are capable of beating West Ham Saturday. If we do it will probably only be Spurs away that Benteke will miss (a game we are expected to lose regardless of who is fit) before he will hopefully be available for Everton at home. A game that is winnable now and could very well be then.
With Zaha back, Loftus Cheek back and finally Benteke back with the players definitely starting to perform under RH I cant see any reason why we cant start picking up points.

As said, this isn't as bad as 13/14 yet. Plus we have played 4 of the top teams, we have two strikers to come back from injury, and we are far more likely to splash the cash in January given we are a more established premiership clubs.

The only games we were really expected to win were Huddersfield and Swansea, so we are not far behind where we expect to be.

Having said that.... West Ham is a must win. We've already dropped too many points where we should have picked some up.

Roy's got enough about him to keep us up.
