    Looking at the table tonight the obvious one's are:

    Leicester
    Burnley
    HULL CITY
    QPR
    West Brom
    Crystal Palace
    Sunderland

    I think that Stoke and Everton are safe but not Aston Villa

    The 10 above are safe

    Maybe I'm biased but my three for the drop are Leicester, Burnley and QPR

    I think the rest have enough quality players

    Given recent form we seem to be playing worse than anybody else despite looking like having enough quality we just are not performing

    QPR will survive. They will sign 2-3 more players to strengthen in January.

    Maybe so but they don't have a good record at signing players. I don't think Harry is so good with working near the bottom of the table.

    Relegation is like walking through the jungle with your mate when you see a tiger. You don't need to outrun the tiger, just outrun your mate!
    I think there are three worse teams than us in this league, but I fear it'll be a close thing.

    I don't think Stoke are clear of the drop battle yet and Villa are still in the mix. It'll be close as the table currently is at present; I wouldn't be surprised to see it go to the last game. We deserve to go down at present and, after yesterday, I'm seeing little to suggest things are improving. But, a season is played over 38 games and we still have ample time to turn it around. We need to get a move on quick though and get rid of this fear of attacking which has befallen us.

    Looking at our run in we need to get a few points clear before we hit the home straight

    After Leicester at home on 14 March our best chance of winning is Palace away on 25 April!

    We play Leicester away on 14th March. Our home match is played later this month on the 28th.

    I love your analogy, it's why gaining a bit of space now would be useful.

    I believe there are three worse squads than us in this league, but, I'm struggling to see three clubs deliberately fielding worse teams. If we keep squandering points winning opportunities then it will be dire. If the club, it's manager and, to be fair, an element of it's supporters, continue to believe it is better to set up for a draw (and maybe sneak a win, or just as probably slip a loss) at home, against our jungle walking mates, then we are in for a long winter and a desperate spring.

    Villa are one of those teams that always has enough in the end,
    Because of all the **** below them.

    Aye but my way of seeing it, flirt with relegation often enough, sooner or later you'll go. Going from a yoyo club to our 8th straight premiership season we now fit into that category too. My arse will be going until we learn how to score that's for sure.
