See I'm the opposite and think Lambert will grind out enough results to keep them up, and I can't see Brighton staying up.
One or two sides getting away, like Bmouth have recently and like Watford will if they turn this around, isn't a problem. But we don't want too many sides to start putting points on the board. None of us know how the rest of the season will turn out, and an extra two or three points won now could be huge come May. So yes, absolutely both of them dropping points is the best outcome in my book (albeit yes, an extra point won by Stoke could also be huge come May).
The way I see it, is if we win 4 games then we should be fine regardless but I'm not fully confident of us doing that.
