Where are the goals coming from? What’s the plan? Every week from PV we hear how we score goals for fun in training and we just need time to get the players scoring in matches. We’ll he’s had 18 months.

So , In my opinion , we are going to have to strongly rely on teams below us to be worse than us , let’s take a look

Bournemouth - bottom 21 points, will definitely finish below us in my opinion and we have to play then at home which is a game we “should” be winning
Southampton- 19th 21 points, are showing signs of revival although still not being consistent , could we finish above them? We have to play them away, if they beat us they could well catch us
Everton- 18th 21 points playing Forest today, I just can’t see a club like Everton getting relegated, still have to play them at our place , a game we should win but can we? They could catch us
Leeds- 17th 22 points still got to play them at their place , they are a energetic side who never give up , I am certainly not confident in taking 3 points off them at their place , however they don’t seem to be consistent at all , I think we will finish above them
West Ham 16th 23 points. In a nut shell I can’t see West Ham going down , they have the players , board seem to be sticking with Moyes .. sound familiar? We still have to play them at our place, not an easy win either
They can catch us if they turn there form round. I bet there fans would rather be in our position though?
Leicester- 15th 24 points , another team totally under performing and after yesterdays result will not really be watching over their shoulders aswell, devoid of all confidence, part of me wants to say I can’t see them going down but they have lost there last 4 we still have to play them at our place , a game we shouldn’t lose, I think we will finish above them
Forest 14th- home form will keep them safe , a win today puts them above us , I think they have done really well, we still have to play them at our place last game of season, could be a massive game for us with serious pressure on , I think they will finish above us ,
Wolves 13th 27 points- have turned it around have to play them away, they will beat us and finish above us

It’s all down to us and is in our hands , we have to play all these sides, it’s in our hands but have we got the fight with viera in charge ? After our next 3 games we could be bang in the mix with no confidence at all
There are so many worse teams than us on paper , West Ham and Leicester will say the same ,
I think we will just about stay up with viera in charge and will stay up comfortably with a new manager “bounce”

Surely if any manager at any level thought that some players weren’t giving their all they would be dropped immediately and replaced by players with a better attitude not just play the same old faces every week whether they are performing or not. If any of this is true then surely he’s lost the dressing room and needs to be replaced asap.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out who Vieira has reservations about.
His selection policies suggest he’s unsure on Luka, Jairo, Edouard and possibly Mateta, Eze and Hughes.

This may not be for their lack of effort but because he doesn’t believe they are capable of fulfilling the roles he requires.

On the other hand, Ayew and Schlupp frequently feature because he trusts them to give 100% and feels they will perform in the roles he requires better than the alternatives.

We may well be drawn into the argument at the bottom of the table and if I was the manager I would certainly feel inclined to select players I can trust and rely on.

Eze is second in goals scored and assists, even with his limited time on the pitch compared to Schlupp and Ayew who have 2 goals and 1 assist between them, its strange that Roy got him to England squad status, and now struggles to get in the team, it goes to show how inept, inadequate, ineffectual Vieira is.
