Cardiff looked excellent and were unlucky to lose against Chelsea, could be a fun week
No, I think just one more point is needed

I'm another one who can't see Cardiff getting 10 points from their remaining games.

If we beat Bournemouth on Saturday and Burnley beat Cardiff, Cardiff will be a very long way from safety, 8 points at this stage of the season is massive.
Indeed - they'd need 9 pts with their GD, from 5 games which include only two at home (and one of those is vs Liverpool). Huge day Saturday.
Quote from Colin today in Wales online:
"I think it's Brighton who we can catch, especially going there a few days after the Burnley game. If we can beat Burnley, we could haul them in, but we've really got to win three out of the four games against teams around us.

But they were at home. Away from home this season they have won only two, drawn two. They have lost eleven and have scored 9 goals in 15 games.
Over the season so far, only Fulham and Huddersfield are worse away from home.
Yes, even we are better (Only slightly).
Discounting Man City, our last three home games are against the teams who are 18th, 16th and 15th in this season's PPG away table: https://www.soccerstats.com/homeaway.asp?league=england. We are in 17th, with the two relegated teams in 19th and 20th.
The one cliche that pundits continually repeat about us that definitely stands up is that our home form is key. If we can't get what we need from our next three home games, we probably have to admit that we wouldn't deserve to stay up.

Never mind that, just concentrate on finishing above Cardiff .
Where are we in the home table?

Thirteenth in the actual, twelfth in the points per game.

You know given we had a Cherries troll starting another thread, it's not out of the realms of possibility that 38 is enough. IF, Cardiff were to beat Burnley on Saturday, we beat Bournemouth, Southampton beat Wolves at home, then we do the unthinkable and lose Tuesday, it will be:
Bournemouth 38
Burnley 36
Brighton 36
Southampton 36
Newcastle 35
Cardiff 34
Cardiff would still have very winnable games away at Fulham, and home to Palace that could get them to 40. Unlikely, but possible.
Burnley's run in after Cardiff is dreadful.
They really need to win Saturday and I think they will. We will then need to win Tuesday to put relegation to bed.
If Cardiff do beat Burnley and we beat Bournemouth then we would be above Burnley on goal difference - and likely to stay there irrespective of the Cardiff result.

Seems likely it will be Cardiff, us, Southampton or Burnley;
If we do stay up, I'd probably like to see Burnley go down;
Xenophobia aside, they always seem to get lucky against us;
Part of me obviously wants Warnock to go;
Or Southampton, as they look like they could be better next season;
If we do survive, one important reason would be that you didn't show up at the Amex;
Neither were you our equals at your place;
To be honest, you must be hoping that we finish the season well;
So that our survival can't be put down to just what we got from you.
Agreed. We fully deserved to go up that season. And would’ve done so with the same return in practically any other season.

That 'Cherries troll' was more than likely Palace, given a phrase it used further into that thread.

Not to mention the team that pipped us stinking the place out, and each season since....

Those 6 points we gave you could well save your bacon.
As for us hoping you finish the season well , you’re having a laugh !!
