Relegation 6 pointer with QPR then

[psand22]

I can't answer for DDeuce or Duke, but the majority of your posts Mango are "the sky is falling, or the glass is always half empty."  Too much doom and gloom.  We might not make the dizzing heights we want this year, but we're not going down.  It's a long season and we still have the January market to pick up reinforcements for the run in.

Don't mind being a described a chicken little but not a troll

Fairly obvious most opinions fit either positive or negative

Only those negative / realistic get slaughtered or dismissed

Sorry about that, but think this season has been a bit tepid

Re: post title, pre-empting sky / media headlines in light of our current form, didn't realise so many sensitive at jest

AHahahahahaha

The meltdown on this board is BRILLIANT

It really is quite something.  I didn't realise that so many eight year olds supported the club.

Moving into the realms of six pointers at home yet????

We need 15 points to stay up, which we will comfortably achieve.

The only six pointers are the six points from relegation we currently stand.

Still not sure why we could not be dragged into the third play relegation place. Our form up to the last few games indicates a struggle. Wigan is a six pointer and would be even more so but for the fine win at WBA.

Still nervy until we can return to early season form.

We have 5 winnable home games (Wigan, West Ham, Stoke, QPR and Reading) and five winnable away games (Villa, Norwich, Sunderland, Swansea and Newcastle). If we can grab 5 wins from that we are safe, not including any draws/other wins picked up at home against the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.

We could go down, but even after our dreadful run we are still 6 points off relegation. If we match the first half of the season performance (good and bad in equal measures) we'll be safe on 42 points.

It would take a relatively big catastrophe to get relegated, including signing no new players and losing several.

We've been very hit and miss, but ultimately, the table has us better than the relegation rivals Villa, Wigan, Newcastle, Sunderland and Southampton.

If we take Wigan apart comfortably, I'll be convinced that we're mid-table certs. If we don't get 3 against them, I'll be convinced that we'll be in the danger zone until at least the 1st of March.

If Senderos is our cover at CB, we need help there. If Kelly is our cover at FB, we need help there. We all know we need help in midfield, plus improved durability from Ruiz and Kaca, to finish above 15th. And maybe we need to recall Stockdale, too; that was as soft a goal as any Premier League keeper is likely to surrender.

FFC as constituted today cannot compete for top 7. We resemble a bunch of clubs that pop up and down from 8 to 15 when we're scoring goals, but we seem to have forgotten how. That puts us into bottom 5 territory. When a club enters such a tailspin, will transfer targets look elsewhere to avoid becoming part of the carnage?

When Hidgson got us into Europe the squad did not look like one that would have been able to finish 7th but the whole was greater than the parts as Norwich and WBA have already shown this season

4 to 6 points off Wigan and West Ham a very nice cushion
