You'd better hope you pick up some more points soon as your run in is as bad as it gets.
We'll be all but safe by the end of March.

Well that's confidence for you.I wish I could say the same.Quite honestly I can see it going into the last day with half a dozen teams figting to avoid eighteenth.The only thing I would say is that I reckon 36-7 is going to be enough.I can't see every team in the bottom half managing a point a game.
That's hard but seem to remember wigan having a similar run in and staying up.
Hughton isn't a good manager tho.
I know that there's less than a fortnight left, but this could yet turn out to be one of the most important January transfer windows ever for those towards the bottom. There's clearly not too much between 10th and 20th, so if one or two teams can really go out there and improve their squad this window, they potentially could find themselves comfortably safe come the start of April. Most likely with a 10th - 12th place finish at the end of it all.
For once, I would see as a club in trouble buying near-certain survival (assuming those signings are of sufficient quality) rather than a club in trouble buying a ticket to enter the raffle to give them a chance.

It's all getting a bit tight down there. I still expect Wet Hoof to be in the mix come judgment day. I'm expecting Sunderland to keep up their momentum - once they woke up on Saturday they looked very much capable of staying up.
