    Can we? Will we?

    Can we stay up if nobody is brought in this week?

    Does anybody think we WILL stay up?

    We pulled ourselves away a little after only 2 points from our 1st 9 games.... but we are now playing all the teams that beat us again, with little or no optimism as there have been no improvements at all.

    I fear the worst.

    We won't sign anyone and because of that I think we will go down.Imagine if Rondon gets injured.Joselu to fire us to safety won't fill any of us with confidence.

    Can we - Yes.

    Will we - Think it's very unlikely. Nothing to give us optimism and Rafa looking more frustrated and piised off than ive seen.

    Even if we sign anybody im not convinced we'll stay up.

    Yes we can, but if as looks likely wer’re going to bring very little by way of reinforcements in then we are relying on Certain players ie Rondon, Ritchie staying fit and in form and getting midfielders ie Ki, Diame and Shelvey fit and firing.

    Will we depends on positive results v Huddersfield, Burnley, Southampton and Palace at home and picking up at least 5/6 points from other games to guarantee it.

    We can but I don't think we will.

    Injuries, suspensions and loss of form will hit us harder than , I suspect, they will hit any other club because of how thin our squad is.

    I don't know what Rondon's injury record is like but if he gets one, especially a significant one, we've had it.

    I sat down and looked at the fixtures last week, and the laughable thing is, that I think we will.

    Huddersfield and Fulham are all but goners, I can't see Cardiff getting to 30 points, I can see us getting 33 points.

    We have the spirit in our side to do it.

    I think you are right Stan. I think we will have the little run that puts a handful of points between us and those below who don't have that run.

    Ritchie has played so much recently though, we run serious risk of burning him out is my worry.
