    This weekend could be interesting to see how the other "relegation likely" teams (in my view we are still in that section of the league)

    Leeds v West Ham - Leeds need to win as do West Ham
    Bournemouth v Forest - Forest looking for a new manager bounce but Bournemouth have had a great start
    Wolves v Burnley - both need to win...
    Mags v Fulham - genuine relegation 6 pointer - hoping that the Mags suffer another European hangover...

    I struggle to see us getting anything but a point would be fantastic...

    They can a bit, probably the youth of their team showing through.

    Mind, they can really fly on their day. A. Lot of good players there. But you never know, we were supposed to bottom with three or less points by this stage!

    It’s a massive weekend but Mags and Fulham won’t have anything to do with the ‘relegation battle’

    Fulham have lost their last three games including two where they conceded three goals.

    They didn't manage a shot on target in their last game and their next is away to Newcastle who you rate highly.

    They're only three points off third bottom so could be in trouble after Saturday.

    I understand Fulham, just not the Mags who’ll climb the table eventually. I thought Fulham might struggle at the beginning of the season but they’ve had a couple of important wins at home.

    However, that’s a huge game Friday night when West Ham go to Leeds…

    What do you reckon is bigger...Leeds vs West Ham or Wolves vs Burnley?

    If both Leeds and Burnley win (which could happen relatively easily) then the gap between the bottom 3 starts to get interesting...assuming Forest get beat (surely they will...) then you`d have

    Leeds - 11pts
    Burnley - 10 pts
    Forest - 5 pts
    West Ham - 4 pts
    Wolves - 2 pts

    If that happens it will be quite amusing because the teams already in the league have got far too comfortable with the recent trend of coming up trying to play the same way as they did in the championship and going down with barely a whimper. Those 3 teams 100% would have expected points against the 3 promoted teams and to survive because the other teams didn’t adapt, the gaps too big etc...

    Would love to see all 3 stay up!
