This. I believe we're down now, after Saturday's no show against Palarse.

6 points from 30 is relegation form and others are all improving...…………………..we need to get a win very soon! I'll be very concerned if we don't come away with 3 pts at home to Burnley!

exactly what I said in another thread . . .there will always be a surprise result somewhere, but that's as likely to be a defeat as a win at the moment . . . . we need to win a game, if we lose on Saturday we're right in the shit, and I think it will be a big psychological blow. bed wetters aside, it'll be interesting to see how the crowd reacts and the manager . . . he's too bloody nice and polite most of the time!
Should we fail to beat both Burnley and Cardiff at home, we deserve to be very much part of the bottom mix and could have no complaints about dropping.
Personally I think we’ll beat Burnley, not based on anything objective. But our lack of goals is a gig concern.

what do you base your thought that we'll beat Burnley ?

Remember how Doncaster being worse than us saved us the year after Hereford? I am really hoping one of the other strugglers hits a bad run of form to join Huddersfield and Fulham, who I reckon are down now. Not that confident that we are going to win many games from here on in.
Literally as I said “not based on anything objective”. So subjectively - home advantage, Locadia will score at some stage, Locadia will pass to an unmarked Murray at some stage, lady luck, a ref makes mistakes in our favour, CH produces one of those ManUre/Palace home wins.

Sure we'll be fine. We were better than Watford on Saturday who are 8th and unlucky not to win. We still have Burnley, Cardiff, Huddersfield, Southampton and Newcastle to come to the Amex. I think we can get 7 points from those games plus another 2 from other games would put us on 38. That's me being very pessimistic but I think it would be enough to keep us up. Obviously a win on Saturday would be most welcome and physiologically would give the team a lift, but no way is it must win. Keep the faith. UTA.

An Albion win would be preferable
Don't you mean psychologically?
Yep. Absolutely bare minimum we will get 5 points from those home games. No chance of going down.

I was never very good at arithmetic but I have a suspicion that 27 points + 7 + 2 = 36 rather than 38.
36 will be plenty

Is that really the best you can do?
It'll be plenty to avoid being in the bottom 2 - not so sure about that 3rd from bottom spot though! Newcastle went down with 37 points only 3 years ago and my gut feeling is that all but Huddersfield and Fulham are capable of ending up with a points total of 36+.
34 will be plenty
