Goals from Adel Taarabt and Samba Diakhite gave Mark Hughesâ men an unexpected 2-1 success over the Gunners in a frenetic London derby at Loftus Road on Saturday. However, the deserved victory â their second at home in a row after an extraordinary comeback win over Liverpool â only saw them trimmed from 1/4 to 11/25 for the drop. QPR remain in 18th place, locked together on 28 points with Blackburn and Wigan, and one behind Bolton, with all four seemingly starting to find form at just the right time. A closing schedule which sees them travel to Manchester United, West Brom, Chelsea and Manchester City â with home games against Swansea, Tottenham and Stoke also left to come â is perhaps the main reason why the Hoops are still so short. The Trotters, meanwhile, scored a vital 3-2 victory over Wolves at Molineux which surely all but confirms that Terry Connorâs men will be playing Championship football next season. The Old Gold were already heavy 1/10 favourites for relegation, but those odds have shortened sharply to 1/50 as they are now six points adrift of safety with seven games remaining.A closing schedule which sees them travel to Manchester United, West Brom, Chelsea and Manchester City â with home games against Swansea, Tottenham and Stoke also left to come â is perhaps the main reason why the Hoops are still so short. Bolton have drifted to 11/4, having been 7/4 before their win in the Black Country, and they will have a game in hand on all their rivals after Blackburnâs clash with Manchester United this evening. Meanwhile, plenty of punters had written off Wiganâs chances of survival, but the Latics are clearly eyeing a repeat of last seasonâs great escape. Despite pulling off a stunning 2-1 win over Liverpool a week earlier, Roberto Martinezâs men were still 1/10 for the drop prior to Saturdayâs 2-0 victory against Stoke City at the DW Stadium. However, those odds have now been changed to 2/5 as the unfancied Lancashire outfit sit second bottom only by virtue of a worse goal difference than QPR and Blackburn. Rovers, who were sinking like a stone at one stage, seem to have found a knack of pulling out results exactly when they are most needed, but they are now 3/2 for relegation, in from 9/4. It would be wrong to finish without mentioning Aston Villa, who were well beaten by Chelsea at Villa Park at the weekend and are starting to look nervously over their shoulder at the chasing pack. The Midlands outfit are five points clear of the drop zone but can now be backed at 10/1 to disprove the old adage about being âtoo good to go downâ, having been out at 16/1 a few weeks ago.
Hardly surprising. It still requires a minimum of beating Stoke, Swansea and West Brom and a point or two from the others.
They don't seem to change the odds as quickly as you might think. Another win or two will change those odds if others fail to win. They are a snapshot of today and not a crytal ball looking to a fixed future. It is still in our hands, to the surprise of some.
It is the wins of Bolton and Wigan that keep us odds-on, a win at Old Trafford would seriously change the odds yet a defeat there wouldn't make a big difference...
If the season was 2 or 3 weeks longer then Id think youd win but I think they have to go without a win for the rest of the season to go down. I hope youre right as it means theres one less place for us.
I think we need a point at the very least at Man U, if not there could be an unhealthy looking 4 point gap to safety in a weeks time.
I dont think so, we have Man U and swansea, Wigan have the scum and Man U, Blackburn have WBA away and Liverpool, bolton have Fulham and Newcastle. Us beating Swansea and Bolton Beating Fulham are the most likely wins, maybe Blackburn beating Liverpool. At worst we should be level with Blackburn and pull away from Wigan if we do the business against the sheep shaggers.
The way we have gone this season we can't rely on winning games against Swansea, Stoke and WBA - I think we need to take some points from the top Clubs, and most important now is the first one, MU, so we don't get cut adrift within the week. I think Blackburn will get a point or 3 tonight, and 3 against Liverpool, and Bolton will beat Fulham. Wigan can also surprise. I can't tip for hell so I go for this!

Everyone at the bottom are playing WBA in the run-in and everyone's pin-pointing them as 3 points. There's no way WBA will lose every game to teams at the bottom. After all, they're better than all of us because they're ahead in the league.
Irrefutable logic Swords. Winning all our home games is key, and the double over Chelsea. Did you see the 'form guide' on MOTD2 last night? Only Wolves on worse run than Liverpool. There's always something to smile about.
Not surprising given your run-in, but I think you will lose all your away games and win all your home games and stay up
100% agree. Hogdson won't allow them to relax. After the Odemwingie and Foster incident they have to respond, it shows the players are still taking the league seriously.
Nearly right, we will win all our games in London. Your signature takes upmost of the screen DL. Fancy saving it for when you are in discussion with Spuds!
I fear that 9 won't be enough. It's bizarre that a few weeks ago it looked like 33/34 points would do it.
I said it all along it wouldn't be. History shows one or two teams go on a run. The teams at the bottom are not that bad. QPR and Wigan were just desperately unlucky in individual games. I can't recall too many times when either has been outplayed. Bolton had a horrid start to the season fixture-wise and never really got going. Wolves defensively are poor but could easily have stayed up if they hadn't of sacked McCarthy and had no replacement. I still think 36 will be enough. Wigan are unlikely to get a return of more than 7 points from their next 8 games (horrible run-in), same with Wolves who are already adrift. Win all your home games and you'll be fine, slip up and there will be massive pressure on you to get something at City, Chelsea or United which at this stage of the season would be very difficult at this stage of the season when these kind of teams hit form.
I can see us needing a win at the Etihad to stay up and beating them, can you imagine the delight that would give MH? Stuffing City's title hopes, guaranteeing Mancini the sack and keeping us up!
