Ive got a bad feeling re Huddersfield. Everyone assumes we will beat them, "a nailed on 3 points" (and I hope they are right), but we have a fairly poor record against them and it wouldn't surprise me to see a Burnley type result happen. I really hope we can get it together soon and that the sunshine training camp has helped. No game in this division should be considered a banker - they are all tough even against the bottom teams.

This is bothering me too. I expect us to win, but if we don't the media will be all over it and we might just get talked into relegation

The problem is we disappoint in the league, and then have all the determination to 'put it right' - but do so in the cup.

Fulham - 'put right' v West Brom.

Burnley - 'put right' v Derby.

We need to 'put both these right' in the LEAGUE.

3 wins will make us safe - unless we lose to Cardiff. That would seriously derail us.

Not a bad set of guesses. Yes it will be.......but we’ll pick up a surprise somewhere else though. Spurs or Chelsea I reckon.

I love your optimism. We haven’t picked up a single point away to the big 6. I think we’ve only scored 2 goals against them all in 9 attempts.

Yeah, but Spurs will be on the beach and Chelsea are in disarray......and we’ve got to pick up a point from the top 6 away eventually......haven’t we ??

Quite honestly, if we lose to Huddersfield we deserve to go down with them.

I really hope we do, but I could see Spurs still perhaps needing points for top four, plus you know Chelsea will hire a new manager before we play them.

We’ve had none over the past month so I’d say we’re due a change also players who can make a difference coming back from injury (izquierdo and jahanbksh) and players like bissouma fitting better now. I’d be very surprised if we went down. Finishing 17th is still a good achievement for us

Sadly I don't think Izzy or Ali J can make much difference this season. Both will remain off the pace, and don't look like street fighters. Hope I'm wrong!

This is true, but NSC has it’s finger on the Albion pulse, can you say that about the media?

Don't forget the old adage:-

All games in hand automatically = 3 points.

It's the LAW.

All albion games in hand = 0 points.

All opposition games in hand = 3 points.

If Dale Stephens hadn't been sent off v Cardiff - we'd have 30 points (probably), be 9 points clear going into Leics/Hudds etc, still above Palace (just) and focusing on winning the cup .

Add to that being 2-0 up away at Fulham and West Ham. No divine right to win from there but our virtual surrender in both means we should be 5 points up.

Cardiff's 2 wins vs Southampton are really hacking me off.

The table would be dreamland if those results had both been different.

I think we are going down, which considering where we were earlier in the season is awful. Some of our signings have been very mediocre.
I am however, still waiting for those three wins and a couple of draws on bended knees.

Typical both Burnley and Palace winning. I had Burnley down as a draw and Palace losing yesterday. Everyone stepping up, we have to do the same starting with Leicester, otherwise it's curtains.
