    Where do our points come from for survival?

    Guesswork, but I'd say 1 from Swansea, 3 from Fulham and then another 1 from either Villa, Everton or Man Utd games would see us safe.

    Although it is impossible to predict the league and it's results, my guesstimate is:

    Aston Villa: 41
    Swansea: 39
    West Ham: 38
    Hull City: 38
    Crystal Palace: 38
    Norwich: 38
    West Brom: 35
    Sunderland: 34
    Cardiff: 32
    Fulham: 30

    Bruce post-match says we just need 1 win. 36 points enough?

    all depends on what Sunderland and Cardiff do. We may not get another win this season.

    38 should be enough, even now we may be safe but I'd like to see us get as much of the points left as we can, we can still get to 40 points, but we need to go out & believe we can get the points.

    A win and a draw will be enough now.

    I think they'll win their next 2 though.

    They have a great home record and play West Brom at home next. Then Fulham away. 38 points would see them safe before their last 4 games.

    I think we'll beat Swansea and Fulham. And then probably a point from one of the other four matches. Should give us a nice round 40.

    Funnily enough I went on there today to see what they were talking about & it's dead, no-one has posted on there for ages with the exception of the front page story.

    3 points we will be safe!! Anybody who thinks Cardiff or Fulham can get 35 points is deluded!! They have 24 and 25 points after 31 so what makes you think they will get another 10 from 7??? Sunderland May have 2 games in hand but they are against man city and west ham. Admittedly west ham is winnable but cannot see them taking 9 more points then us! Have faith 3 points will do it. Although a more worrying thing is the fact that our second half of the season has been a lot worse then first half, hopefully that doesn't continue into next year

    In terms of results yes, but we haven't really played badly at any point. Today was one of our worst performances but we still would have got something if it wasn't for a one-off error. The losses have just been because we've been playing good sides, or because we've been unlucky. Nothing to worry about from what I've seen.

    If we get 3 more points then we're safe.

    If we don't get that than we don't deserve to stay up.

    Agree to an extent, I haven't seen anything to say we would struggle but my only concern would be losing can become a habit, don't get me wrong this is the strongest team we have ever had but good teams struggle sometimes. But on the other hand I have no doubt brucie can keep them motivated.

    As regards today's game - we deserved a point. We appeared to have no direction but neither did Stoke. Rosenior is good but he is not a forward and missed a golden opportunity. We got a better 'run-of-the-ball' today but did little with it. The Hudd was very unlucky with his strike which he hesitated just that second too long. We held our own but it's goals that count and they got one and we didn't. We need a win from somewhere and I don't know where it's coming from but we are due a change of luck and could well get a couple of games when we get it all together and get the ball in the back of the net.
