We all know that a lucky result or an immense performance in one game can change the whole mindset. At present the fans and probably the team expect us to lose every game given how we have defended and attacked. We need something out of the ordinary to turn this around. Stoke away currently looks like to will be another defeat but maybe just maybe we’ll be in a game where we ride our luck and come away with something. I’d take a point and a good solid performance if offered now.

Too true.
1) Points in games where we have scored first = 17 ( W5 D2 L1 )
2) Points in games where we have conceded first = 2 ( W0 D2 L10 )

This is it. Get ahead and put the pressure on them so they know they need to score at least 2 to win.

I honestly don't think we'll get a single point. Very happy to be wrong though.

We've cracked it, let CH know we need more goals than the opposition and 3 points comes our way. Simples.

But would he be comfortable with that? We all know he loves a 2-0 defeat.

I don't care who we beat as long as we get enough points to stay up...

Brighton - 20 (14 games)
Newcastle - 19 (14)
West Ham - 19 (14)
Bournemouth - 18 (12)
Watford - 18 (13)
Stoke - 18 (13)
Huddersfield - 18 (13)
Swansea - 16 (13)
Southampton - 16 (13)
Palace - 14 (12)
West Brom - 11 (13)
This shows that currently goal difference is irrelevant. Only once we pick up at least 1 point against the top 6 will the goal difference come into play and our hard work restricting our losses amount for anything in the table.
Still confident we will nick at least a point against one of the big 6... Patience!

It's the points we take off the bottom 10 that are the most important! ....I'm sure someone has already said this.

Not necessarily, because we can make up the points we drop against the bottom 10 by taking them off the top teams. Take Swansea, they took 3 points off Liverpool so if they lose to Brighton they'll be no worse off, whereas if Brighton drop points to Swansea they're 3 points worse off if it's only a draw. We have to win just to maintain the gap.
