They have form though.
Very fortunate that they escaped the trapdoor last year and this years promoted teams are not nearly as incompetent.
I was actually surprised by their performance v Arse.
Could’ve expected something a bit more robust even if zero points. Was a pathetic white flag in the end.
They do and form and momentum is hard to shift.
I hadn't realised how bad their injury list is.
11 players, most if not all of them get in their first choice 18 atleast.

Nobody is too good to go down, including Spurs. I’m not sure their new manager/coach realised what a desperate shower they really are.
Their injury list is, undoubtedly, hurting them but all teams go through it during the course of the season.
I'd be shocked still but that injury list is horrific for them.
Can't imagine teams like us Burnley, West Ham etc would cope with 4,5,6 of our best 18 out never mind 11.
Wonder if the EFL would be lenient if they did drop. Spurs salary and purchases would immeadiatly break EFL laws and I think they're sticking with PSR... Fire sale would help a bit. Also wonder if players have relegation salary cut written in.
I'd take Archie back for 10M ... plus a few others

Spurs fixture list gets slightly easier in theory. A bit like us.
They have home games against Palace, Brighton, Forest and ourselves. Away at Wolves.
In normal times they would fancy that list. It’s not normal times of course.

Problem is those teams will see a wounded animal and go for the kill hoping to increase their own chances.... I think if the season started 15 games ago Spuds would be bottom 2

It’s definitely not as far fetched as people think.
Can you imagine many Spurs players being up for a relegation battle.

The so called ‘bigger clubs’, in theory, should have better squads enabling them to cope with injuries, but that can only go so far.
Like you I’d be very surprised if it’s Spurs joining Wolves and Burnley, but, without doubt, they are definitely in the mix.

Defeats for Burnley, West Ham, Forest, Spurs, Leeds & Palace.
And we are still six points ahead of West Ham, and the games are running out.
Midweek fixtures.
Leeds v Sunderland
Fulham v West Ham
Man City v Forest
Spurs v Palace

Fulham have improved this season so tough ask that away for the Hammers. Think we're at the point where a 9 point lead will be really tough to pull back so if we win and Hammers lose maybe some of the nervous ones can breathe a collective sigh of relief
Can't see Forest getting anything from the Etihad... Spuds will beat Palace and that may help them turn the form around
