Even though we're not far outside the bottom three, there has always been enough teams in between us and the bottom three to-date such that we've never directly flirted with the bottom three. For that reason, I don't think MP is yet on the brink. Losing at home to Huddersfield this week I suspect would put him on the brink, rather than confirm his fate.
With Hughes and Clement though, I think they are already on the brink. And losing home matches to WBA and Palace respectively this weekend would be just the results to finish either or both off.
