It's going to be a rollercoaster. Norwich seem to
be firmly stuck in the quicksand. They're currently
worse than us. Who knows with Newcastle?
Burnley are the real fly in the ointment. That set
of dinosaurs are probably on everyone's wish
list to get relegated (outside of Burnley fans).
But they always seem to find a way. Watford?
I can't see Southampton falling on their faces.

Yep
We are a better side than Norwich, Newcastle and Watford. I know they’ve all changed managers since we played them but Watford couldn’t touch the ball against us, Newcastle were completely reliant on Saint Maximan and we should have had a penalty prior to his goal, and Norwich were just hopeless.
Burnley I think will be safe because they normally do grind it out.
Without current injury concerns I’d be feeling fine. With them, who knows.
Can't see you going down despite last nights mauling.
As others have said, there are at least 4 or 5 clubs that are worse than you atm plus you always get 1 club that totally collapses after Christmas even though they look safe now.
Newcastle, Norwich and Burnley to go down.
Hopefully we see the lads bounce back like they did against Forest a couple of seasons ago.
Only positive thing I can get from last night is that it could kickstart our season. I can only hope and dream aye.

Newcastle want to go down to avoid ffp sanctions next season.
Norwich are totally dismal.
Sean Dyche has stagnated at Burnley, unless he moves on they go down.
if Burnley lose Tarkowski in January (which it seems they will) then they will definitely go down.
I think Burnley’s hourglass is reaching the final few grains.
Norwich had a mini revival, but I can’t see them staying up.
I can’t figure Watford out, they were the poorest team at ER, but seem to pull out a freak result.
Ultimately I think these 3 go down.
Bit more of a look in depth. There's been a few teams this year that I have thought looked awful, and quite a few we haven't beaten. Newcastle are obviously a one man team, but looks like they will get Trippier, Tarkowksi, maybe Lingard in during January, and will this give them enough strength to stay up? Not sure.
I said at the start of the season that I thought Norwich had more about them than people were giving them credit for, but poor recruitment is shafting them once again. Despite that, I think they've looked generally better than last time, and their game against us could really have gone either way.
Burnley are very reliant on one or two players who are starting to seem unsettled. Pope isn't having his best year, and perhaps Dyche's over reliance on a core group of players is coming back to roost. On top of that, the Cornet injury means that their only really standout player so far this season has been sidelined.
I thought the first half against Southampton was the worst we played this season, and I still do. Despite that, and the dominance they had over the ball, I thought we could have carried on playing like we did and they would never have scored. The goal only came because we started playing better and managed to get out of our own half. I'd be surprised if Hassenhutl lasted the season.
Watford is a funny one. I don't think they will match their point total from the first half of the season in the second, but their manager policy means they always have that unpredictable ability to completely turn their form around, if they get the right appointment in. As it goes, I don't see Ranieri lasting until February.
I think all five of these teams are worse than us, but injuries have really shafted us (and, to be fair, have also been pretty unkind to Southampton). Ultimately, the reason the injuries have hit us so hard is of our own making, however, so its hard to use that as an excuse.
