    Here are our upcoming fixtures, with April fixtures in black.

    Southampton V Everton
    Man Utd V Southampton
    Wigan V Southampton
    Southampton V Man City
    Newcastle V Southampton
    Southampton V QPR
    Norwich V Southampton
    Southampton V Liverpool
    Southampton V Chelsea
    Reading V Southampton
    Southampton V West Ham
    Swansea V Southampton
    Southampton V West Brom
    Tottenham V Southampton
    Sunderland V Southampton
    Southampton V Stoke

    Realistically if MP has an ok start (god help us if he doesn't) then we can expect to get around 6/7 points in the run up to April, I like to think.

    Historically, that would leave us on 28/29 points and needing at least another 10-12 to stay up. Taking advantage of an April where the fixtures look winable will therefore be pretty vital in staying up. Not losing to Reading, Noriwch, Newcastle and Wigan away and QPR home will also be a huge step forward.

    I couldn't have picked a better last game of the season than stoke at home either, with their awful away record and midtable safety hopefully making that a very winnable game should we need to!

    I'm sick about what happened to Adkins but I still think we can stay up providing we can pick up a few points before April. COYR

    Everton, Wigan, Newcastle, Norwich, QPR and Liverpool are all eminently winnable games.

    I'm sure Reading is a winnable game as well!

    All games are winnable, just some more so than others. We have a winning mentality about this football club...
