I admire your positive thinking but if you were at Sheffield you'll have seen we've got no chance. Incidentally who out of the clubs down there do you think we can overtake? I think only Watford. No way will Blackburn be down there and West Ham have got Ashton to come back and are looking at SW-P on loan. They will be comfortably mid-table. Newcastle will spend money in January and already look a better side with Dyer back. The only realistic teams we can catch are Sheff Utd and maybe Boro and Wigan. But we'd need to win 3 on the spin to get ahead of them and right now we don't look like winning 3 all season let alone 3 in a row.
i agree Tom, i refuse to get too downhearted until the Blackburn game is out the way first. The team is operating at zero confidence at present, none of us know to what extent it will pick up to if a win is secured.

If we play badly in the 1st half tomorrow, can I remind you of these comments at h/t? ;-)

You mean you're not downhearted all ready? Fulham away, Wigan away, Reading away, Everton home, Sheff Utd away. Every game we say its a must-win game and we've got 1 point from that lot when we really needed at least 7. If we lose to Blackburn will you be on here saying 'if we can nick a win at Spurs'

Tiz a Snickers not a sprint. I'm not going to apologise for trying to be positive !
I see the Blackburn game as pivotal. We need 3 points before the gap starts to widen, if it does not come against Blackburn, i can't see realistically we will be able to get that win until it is too late.
Suzi - i don't think we have to worry about Watford - they will drop. It's others we need to worry about but i honestly can't see 2 other teams worse than us.
AFKA - i'm not knocking you for being positive, i guess i'm just surprised at some peoples optimism whereas i feel i'm being realistic. My optimism went 2 weeks ago after Reading away.

problem is there are all the other teams down there saying that they don't have to worry about watford or charlton.

Soon it will be "we must win this game and hope that [insert team] drop points against [insert team]"
can't believe i'm going to spend my evening cheering on manchester city!

its now 2 wins to get out of relegation....with other teams results to go our way
2 weeks ago, it was in our own hands, 1 win and we're out.
can't see west ham/newcastle getting into the depths for too long
