Clutching at straws

Feels that there is a lot of this going on at the moment, understandable in our position, but some real clutching at straws.

4 points in 3 games is cited as an indicator that we'll get enough points to stay up.

3 of those points were a desperate late goal to beat bottom of the table Southampton....at home.

We have a massive task ahead of us and I would not be expecting us to suddenly get 4 points from every 3 matches (1.33pts per game), when our seasonal average has been 0.88 pts per game....for 26 games now.

Wolves Away
Arsenal Away
Forest Home
Palace Home
Liverpool Home
Fulham Away
Leicester Home
Bournemouth Away
Man City Away
Newcastle Home
West Ham Away
Spurs Home

I think we'll be doing well if we get 9 points from this run in, I think people thinking we'll get 16 from this are a bit detached from our reality.

Two good results.

So we think we’re under pressure …..?

Confirmation the other 9 are too.

With probably the ‘easiest’ run in, and after just having had a horrendous run of fixtures over last 10 games, currently the team furthest from the drop, Crystal Palace sack Vieira 👀😳🤔!!

Wow.

I reckon that brings them right into it now.
