1. Some realism from the players and manager - no more talk about "top ten" and accept we are in a relegation scrap with 6 more teams with a slight points advantage. (I personally believe we are perhaps equal favourites with Blackpool, and Wolves/Wigan/WH to go down - how did it come to this?! - because the points on the board are outweighed by the shocking form) The position to aim for is 4th bottom that would mark success from the situation we are now. 2. Accentuate the positive - today I note the match reports and Stats were encouraging - more possession, shots on, shots off, corners than Brum - first time for many weeks. Also great to see Meyler back - is this true? 3. Play our best players. For instance playing Colback ahead of Riveros means we ve given up on survival and are playing the kids like Noble for experience, or we ve turned a World Cup quarter finalist into a no hoper in a season. And I posted last time Gordon should be back - the Mig, good though he is, has shipped a hat-ful of goals since his last good performance at Arsenal. 4. Be aware of goal difference - it will count. So a scenario could be - we get one more point and lose the other 4 by one goal. That could be just enough to finish ahead of the current bottom three on gd even if they beat us and get 3-4 more points. 5. Some moments of magic from Gyan /Wellbeck - they are capable , just a couple of goals from each is all we ask for 6 Stop feeling sorry for ourselves, Yes I know Stoke with our so called cast offs in the Semi are making me so annoyed at our transfer policy - but we are where we are and we can have inquests at the end of the season - the priority now is to finish one place above relegation.
