The Albion are facing the toughest run-in, based on current league position of their nine opponents:

Given our record against teams in the bottom 3 of 4 draws and 1 defeat it is reassuring that we have a higher average as it probably gives us a better chance of staying up.

Really not sure how that works. A team like Sheff Utd, who are bottom for a reason i.e cant win games have supposedly 6th easiest run in. I really dont think it matters who they play - well except of course when they face us - thats a given 3 pts

Whilst there is a certain logic to this table, by extension the current positions of each team must be judged in light of their 'run up' to date, etc. etc.

Not bothered personally, I trust the lads and Potter to bring home the bacon.

Given Liverpool have lost to Us, Southampton, Burnley, Fulham and drawn with Newcastle, I doubt they would consider their run-in easy

Well, here's a thing. I agree with both of you :O

Newcastle apart, we've looked better against sides who don't sit back. I won't say Man City don't worry me just a teensy bit but we're perfectly capable of beating Leeds and Arsenal, more I would think than Sheffield United, because Leeds and Arsenal suit us. And we're not afraid of these teams so, indeed, bring it on. Also...

Totally this.

Last three weeks of the season, you'd far rather play the sides 10-12th, than the sides 16-18th.

This is very true but also, teams around us playing each other means one or both dropping points. Newcastle v Fulham on the last day is effectively another game in hand for us.
