    If you can quite me one team that has drawn 38 games and survived relegation then I will yield. Otherwise what you have said is off the scale of complete and utter trollop. :1980_boogie_down:

    I also maintain that at some point we do have to win some games. It is the reason why we play after all.

    Nothing in what you've said makes any sense whatsoever in relation to what I replied.

    It doesn't matter how or when you amass the points tally required.

    I'm merely telling you that if we drew 38 games we'd probably stay up.

    You seem to throw the chances of survival away after every game.. There's 4 clubs struggling there's 18 games left.

    Ok let me phrase this differently.

    I would like us to win. If we don’t: which I don’t expect to. Then it makes survival that little bit less likely.

    I didn’t say all was not lost. Can you please show me I said that?

    Fulham had 13 draws, 5 wins earning 28 points last season and that's looking like us this season, so far!

    We really could do with winning against Leeds. I really want to win. I would love to feel that feeling of winning again.

    Well not really we'd still need wins which would be no less likely.

    I'd make a case with a few more signings that wins become more likely


    It would be a good away point vs an in form side..

    I can almost guarantee you that if we don’t win at least 5 more games this season we won’t survive.

    The quotes I’m reading by some people are just arguing for the sake of it. Not pointing any fingers mind….. ahem.

    They were 15 points adrift at this stage and for a few minutes they put us 18th. There's plenty of clubs that have escaped relegation.

    No I just know what 17x3 equals


    I've told you we need wins but if we don't lose that's still a good point...

    Remind me again how they closed that gap?

    the activity or condition of striving to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others.

    The points they'd taken all season upto that point added up to the same amount or more is how.

    BTW I spent two weeks before saying we weren't safe yet.

    We need more points that 3 teams it doesn't matter how many draws or wins you get.

    If we win the last 6 or 6 spread out its all irrelevant.

    We need points

    Forgive me if I’m being silly but I have had a very tiring day and I might be missing things. What do you mean by 17x3?

    What’s your estimate of how many points we need to survive?

    Mine is 32.
