Too close to call, but I'd sooner have the points than the games in hand

Me too. How many times have we heard "Burnley have a game in hand" but they haven't taken advantage? I just think they're overrated!

It wouldn't surprise me if Fwank is sacked soon and replaced with Fat Sam. Apart from his cup final against us, which looks like the anomaly it was, his appointment has been dreadful.

I'd say Norwich are as good as down now , another win for us would just about keep us up . I don't believe all the " Too good to go down" stuff if you were too good you wouldn't be in the drop zone to start with

I still think Brentford are in the mix, they have to play Everton, Watford & Us.

Watford v Everton is interesting, A Watford win and Everton are right in the sh*t.

Looking at our games there are 6 matches that we should have a chance to get something from if we play well. If we find our shooting boots then we should be fine too. The Chelsea and Arsenal games are games we likely won't get anything from although if KP and Cooper are back by then and we don't suffer any more injuries then it gives us a bit more hope. The City match is likeley a write off barring them having a complete off day and us playing out of our skin and getting a bit of luck.

All about us though, if we don't get enough points to keep clear of the botoom 3 then we deserve to go down.

Playing Chelsea without Coops and KP is like 5 aside against 13......

Watford v Everton aren't playing at W/E. Everton are still in the cup.
After their game on thur (v Newcastle) apparently they then play Wham ,Manu, Liverpool and Chelsea in April. Could do with them winning the FA cup game and increasing fixture pile up they are going to have . They also are away to Arse last day of the season.
If I was an Everton fan (God forbid) I'd be very worried.
Going to be cheering on the Geordies on thurs.

Don't Everton and Burnley have to play three games in a week now for the rest of the season as well? Read it somewhere.

Kind of reminds me of during the promotion run when Brentford kept getting to play first and we wouldn't play for another 2 or 3 days giving The Green Goblin time to throw cheap shots at us, thankfully we got there in the end.

Having said that, this is different, and the increased gap will put pressure on even the most hardened Burnley player.

Quite sure Everton will be playing most midweeks as well as the weekends until end of season and hopefully they stay in the cup. They are in deep relegation trouble 100%.
Burnley will have to play a couple of midweek games .
The international break I feel is perfect timing for us to get KP and Cooper back into the fold plus it gives JM more time to work with the team. Realistically we have 6 games to get the required points .

5 more points will probably enough, 7 maximum.

I'm struggling to see both Everton & Burnley acquiring three victories.

Given the fixtures, surely this run will go a long way to deciding the relegation spots:

Watford have Everton, Liverpool Leeds, Brentford, Man City, Burnley, Palace, Leicester and Chelsea.
