    Until we can't stay up then I hope every Rangers fan votes Yes we can

    It's called supporting your team

    I'm a half full kind of guy.

    I voted yes, but as each week goes by, my optimism is diminishing. Whatever happens, I'm encouraged by recent performances under Ramsey and hope he gets some recognition and reward for his efforts.

    Always will remain a loyal and devoted supporter.

    We have to believe and the manager and players have to believe.
    It's just a tad harder to believe after Sunday.
    I wonder if Ramsey has thought about McCarthy? Probably not and would probably be a mistake at this stage.

    I'm not going to vote as I don't want to jinx it by clicking yes!

    I will do anything that could help us. The thing is like many of us I was resigned to relegation but now have some hope again.

    It's twisting my melon man!

    I think the question is flawed - mathematically we can stay up - therefore there is only one answer, yes - do I think we will stay up? Really not sure... I think after the Hammers game, and results elsewhere, will probably tell us everything we need to know...

    Personally I think it is whether Hull and Sunderland can stay up. I don't think they can

    I voted no, it's called being realistic.

    Two different questions were asked though. Of course we can stay up until it's mathematically impossible. Will we prevail? Unlikely in my view. I hope I'm wrong of course.

    Therefore if we apply that reasoning, Bobby from Dunstable who never attends any matches but sits at his laptop watching streams... and clicks the 'yes' button is supporting his team. I doubt that the weirdo doesn't even have the audacity to wear a rosette and wave a blue and white rattle whilst doing so!
    A person who goes week in week out, and clicks on the 'No' button isn't supporting his team then?

    Regardless, lets look at the facts.

    We have accrued 26 points thus far from a possible 99. This equates to 26.262% of our possible points total.

    In order to reach the minimum required to have a chance of Premiership safety is in my estimation 9 points. ( Your estimation may be higher or lower. )

    So if we are to get 9 points from our remaining five matches we need 9 pts from a possible 15. This equates to 60%. More than double of what we have achieved up to now. Even with this superhuman effort will not guarantee our safety. Even if we need 10 points this means we need 66.666% points out of the remaining 15.

    Sunday's game left me with an air of despondency. We gave it 100% , every player and fan but still came up short. Which has been the story of our season. We've lost our last 7 home games at fortress Loftus Rd! Nil point from a possible 21? Even the most crappiest teams nick a point here and there. Not us though. We have an uncanny ability to concede nearly every game in the last 5 minutes. This has happened in our last two 'must win' games and in numerous games previous to those.

    I'm afraid the game's up for this season. We're off back to the Championship. Resign yourself to the fact and spare yourself the pain.

    I voted yes. I just feel there are 3 worse teams in this league. I think 33 points and a good goal difference will stay up. We can easily get that.

    I'd given up after Swansea's last minute equaliser. Each time we win you hope but it's always quickly dashed. If we win our two home games it'll almost certainly be a last day decider at Leicester and possibly even winning that may cruelly not be enough. As long as we show the commitment of last Sunday we can be proud of our finish and build on that for the future...

    A yes for me. I think that Hull (definitely) and Sunderland (probably) will go down with one other, i. e. Us, Leicester or Burnley.
    West Ham, Newcastle and Leicester are must win games.

    l thinking / settle, maybe two wins will keep us above Hull & Sunderland who apparently have a tough run in.
