Swansea getting away from us now. Looks as if it's going to be between 4. I can see Sunderland leaving us in the bottom 3. Championship footy next season!
It still all hinges on those two home games but we'll have to find some more points elsewhere too. Swansea on saturday would be a great start. Bah! p.s. I'm not sure I believe we'll win any of them, but until we've lost em I'll live in hope!
Got to be 3 from 4 now hasn't it? Granted a win versus Swansea helps bridge that 6 point gap, but the remaining points required for them and Bournemouth to get safe is easily achievable. I don't think we can rely on favours from the other teams around us either, I don't see Sunderland or Newcastle's form dramatically worsening.
Newcastle have probably the kindest fixtures. Sunderland have the worst. I think it's us and Sunderland tbh
Yes, they are slightly easier I guess. 16th April is a date for our diaries - Man Utd v Villa Newcastle v Swansea Norwich v Sunderland
Personally although it would be nice to stay in the prem and let Alex have another crack at the summer transfer market, it would not be a major issue if we went down. AN could then forge a team capable of getting straight back up but at the same time preparing for another tilt at the premiership. With this seasons insight in to what is necessary I feel sure he would achieve a satisfactory outcome second time around.
It could be but, I honestly think Newcastle have the worst manager of the 3 and the least fight in them. We'll see but it is Sunderland that I fear escaping most. Bah!
