The Saints manager must be doing his nut after that, and they looked a poor outfit against us. We are not far off looking at the number of points necessary, an annual event (sigh).... Its good to see us respecting the point and not throwing games away, plus a strong squad. A point a game seems par with our good defensive record so 39 points. Here is hoping.........

I'd like to think not, but we seem unable to get a consistent run going to break away from the relegation pack.

A slight aside, how funny was Burnley's third goal!! Blatant penalty not given to Brighton, then that handball turns out to be the "pass" that sets off Burnley's counter from which they win a penalty! Burnley getting a lot of luck, but they have a team built for scrapping results. Cardiff running on fumes, but I really hope they stay up. Partly because of the Sala tragedy but also because I'd like Warnock to finish his career on a high. Saints were truly awful against us and yesterday's result suggests that might not have been a blip. They still have some quality going forward but look suspect at the back. Newcastle should be fine with Benitez at the helm. I think Fulham and Huddersfield will be joined either by Saints or Cardiff. Even neutrals can see we are lower than our performances suggest. Yes we are still failing to convert chances, but at least we are creating them. I almost wonder if there is a gypsy curse on the goals at SP (a Charlton pikey curse perhaps?) Maybe we could get Bill Nighy to dress up as a priest (Eddie Izzard as a nun?)and come on the pitch before the next home game and do an exorcism.

On paper but games are not won on paper. Whilst I recognise the points and goal difference differential I am not as relaxed as your good self regards our prospects. On balance I believe that we will probably survive but I wouldn't place a great deal of money on it ! The situation can change from game to game and in 5 games time we could be staring down the barrel more than those currently around us. huddersfield gone, fulham almost gone. we have played 2/3rd pf the season with no fit striker, we now have 3. we are one of 6 teams who could realistically go down, but with roy in charge i am certain we will get the points needed to not be one of them.

and forgive me, its was so noticeable again yesterday clueless at throws in.. at least 3 times, we had a throw in halfway in WHam only within a couple of touches, the ball was with our keeper!!!!! Yesterday a Cabaye type pass or hopefully now Meyer will be given a full chance, we will see the early ball that Benteke so badly needs with an early splitting pass, not a measured slow build up defenders easily read..... play to mans strengths, he he really buzzing sharp but needs "good" game time .. ive got a feeling when Benteke gets to Leicester match, he will remember the last time (I think)we bet them 3-0.. watch an amazing lift off when Benteke scored (I was there moment!)

another 3 wins AND a couple of draws should be enough to keep us up I personally reckon we will end up 11th or 12th personally

Really feel that this has been the first season since we came up again that I have not felt the massive nervousness before each game that we HAVE to get some points, that we are not in a relegation dog fight, despite the fact mathematically we are. Feel we are the most solid unit we have ever been both offensively and defensively. Having said that how many times have we heard the phrase `too good to go down` used only for a team to look shell-shocked come the last few games of season as it happens.

Our run-in does look potentially ‘squeaky-bum’ but home wins against Brighton, Huddersfield and Bournemouth should be enough...perhaps provided we don’t lose all the rest.

I’ll be surprised if this hasn’t already been done in a Richard Curtis ‘comedy’.
