Staying Up

[Mcforest]

I think the biggest outcome for staying up is this weekend a point for us and a draw in the Leicester v Everton game. Keeps us above them with them both having one winnable game left on paper bar a freak result. If either of them win and we don't get a point it's not over but odds are that if you are in the bottom three at the end of this round you have a 92.5% chance of going down.

Next two games critical - obviously. Feel that if we are in relegation zone after next two then we are down. Likewise if we are out of it then fancy our chances that we might do it considering the other games our rivals are playing

Hoping Chelsea keep lampard until end of season.

Much less likely after today. We were 10.mins away from staying up there.

Still need two wins.

Definitely. Feels like we're home and hosed for the season with a win today.

Well would've just needed to beat Southampton

I just think Southampton will be an incredibly difficult game to win. They'll be looking at that game as their last chance to pull off a escape.

Pray to the football gods that lampard stays in charge for a couple more matches

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Sadly I think our fate was decided in the 94th minute today.

I agree. Two wins on the bounce would have given us huge momentum and really boosted the morale of the squad. Losing late on will do the opposite

Upcoming fixtures:

Sun 30th - Bournemouth v Leeds
Mon 1st - Leicester v Everton
Sat 6th - Man City v Leeds
Mon 8th - Fulham v Leicester
Brighton v Everton
Forest v Southampton.

Next Monday is going to be a horrible day!

If Bournemouth win tomorrow it would likely mean we're still level with Leeds going into that Saints game. Probably still ahead of Everton but maybe behind Leicester (who's games get harder after this, they've got Liverpool and Newcastle). Weirdly our fixtures are arguably better from next week onwards.

Bournemouth game tomorrow is the game.

It's frustrating if we go down as it does feel like we've got a decent core if they were ever all fit together.

Hendo (if signed permanently), Felipe, Niakhate, Aurier, Lodi, Danilo, Mangala, MGW, Brennan, Taiwo, Yates.

The players from abroad have really looked settled recently too. Just think what could've been if that lot had stayed fit (or played for us) for the whole season.

How many games have the above missed through injury?
