I hope at least one of them is concerned, preferably both.
Despite the unexplained optimism of many a few weeks ago, it has been clear that we are far from safe.

The opposite of nervous is not complacent.

We’ve got enough winnable games. Just got to win them. Hold the nerve.

Hmm, there has been quite a lot of complacency recently with a virtual shoulder shrug as we fail to win games. “We have to play nearly all the teams below us at home, we’ll be fine” seems to be the attitude of most. I call that complacent.
Except for Junior of course who has been trying to throw the baby out with the bath water all season

Agree. There was a bit of that last season as well, but we failed to win the games everyone saw as 'bankers' and then needed the great win over United to be sure. This run of home games is absolutely crucial, but none of them can be taken for granted. We've lost to Fulham and Cardiff FFS, two very poor teams.

Junior is just a wind up merchant.
The problem is that when we don't win, quite a few fans don't think we'll win again this season, and when we won three in a row, others thought we were going into Europe. There's never a happy medium.
I think we'll be fine. I'm not complacent.

Don’t get me wrong I don’t think we are doomed but we could end up being. Put it this way I would take a point against all the teams we have to play at home with no wins if offered that right now.
Hopefully we’ll beat Burnley comfortably and everything will look much more rosy. We must be due some luck against them, we’ve had none for as long as I can remember! Another of the bogey teams that we just can’t beat. Saints are in that box too.

We have not clicked this season at all. Some good individual performances but not many good team performances considering the squad we have. We need to buck our ideas up because scraping to safety isn’t good enough. It’s about entertainment as well as money

Away to Fulham and home to Watford are also winnable.
Definitely concerned. We’ve not been particularly good all season but managed to cobble together a few fortunate wins in October which took the pressure off and made it look like we were never really in trouble but we could easily be. We have been complacent for weeks summed up by the Chelsea, Arsenal and United games when a lot on here celebrated just not getting thumped when in all honesty we dropped points in those games.
I honestly don’t think Hughton is getting the most of the players we have at the moment. We are pedestrian and predictable and I’m struggling to see where a win comes from at the moment unless something changes. I fully expect Burnley to get at least a point next week when we start with the same team and tactics again.

No.
I wasn’t but after this last week I now am. 1 point is probably 3 less than most of us were hoping for. We should be OK but it’s now looking like it could be an uncomfortable crawl to the finish line as opposed to the easy canter we looked like delivering before Christmas.

Not worried at the moment, but I will probably dip into 'concerned' if we lost to Burnley. We've got enough about us to stay up, and the team that are on good runs at the moment....well it can't go on all season, can it?
We'll do enough. It might not be pretty, entertaining or even watchable at times but we'll do it. It's never the easy way with us anyway.

One, probably two, gone. So it’s one from 6. We are better than at least 2 of the other 5. We will be fine

Keep the faith! We’re just having a sticky patch but it will turn.
Anyone who's said we're safe is deluded. We're very much in this relegation scrap. Have been since the start of the season, we might have pulled away a bit but now we're being reeled back, 1 win in 10 league games was always going to mean that happened.
We won't be safe unless we get enough points to be mathematically safe. If we don't beat Burnley next weed we're in big, big trouble.

Where do you get that from? We blew a 2 goal lead against one of your 'worse than us' teams and then proceeded to concede 4.
We looked so much better today without Stephen's but he'll be straight back in the side. Groß is struggling. This is when Hughton and his coaching staff really need to earn their money.
