Could we get drawn into the relegation battle?

For all those who think we could be relegated there is a silver lining. You can back us to be relegated with Betfair at 500/1.

Fill your boots, then if you're right you can pick up £5k for a tenner, and you can drown your relegation sorrows on a jolly in the Cayman Islands.

I do not want to seem too pessimistic but after watching yesterday`s performance and considering our two most influential players are out for the rest of the season,is it now conceivable that we could get dragged into a relegation fight?
We are 11 points clear of the drop but that could shrink again today and all the teams at the bottom seem to be picking up points.I also think 40 points will not be enough to stay up this season.I cannot see where our possible goals can come from at the moment.There is very little creativity in the team and I think we are getting into a rut physically and psycologically-even Dyche admitted after the match that the present starting eleven need reinforcements.It is a pity they did not think about that in the January window knowing Defour had a problem and Brady out for the season.
I hope those dropped points in extra time against Utd,Arsenal and Liverpool do not come back to bite.At the moment we seem to be on the wrong side of all the tight margins.

Probably not. A couple of wins and Perm is secure for another year.

But its not a great look.

We are flattered at where we are in the league following 10 games without a win.

You mean they should put their money where their mouth is- none of them will

36 points is probably enough already.

No a cat in hell's chance of us being relegated.

10 games without a win and we still sit seventh, which just goes to show what a dog fight is going on below us!

I don't see how we are flattered to be where we are in the league. We have earned the points and sit in 7th place, having only dropped lower than that, to 8th place, twice in the last 21 weeks.
I think that we should be looking at staying in the top half and will definitely need a couple more wins to achieve that, however, this has not been a bad season, in spite of the multitude of injuries we have sustained which, without doubt, has affected our progress.

If current results continue then avoiding relegation will require at least 38 points as clubs have 27 points for 27 games. WBA looking down and a win for us v Southampton would put them 13 points behind us. A loss and only a 7 points gap starts to get uncomfortable as weird results are becoming the norm.
Our goal difference is superior to most, provided we have no big losses

[The Bedlington Terrier]

We have ELEVEN games left! If we can't get three more points from ELEVEN games we would deserve to go down but that is just not going to happen!

Wood Ward Tarks and Marney due to be back for Southampton

Wardy as you saw, is back but only just trained last week so he’ll have another couple of weeks under his belt. “And we’re confident with Woody and Tarky, Dean Marney, and they just add that layer to the squad.

An analysis over past 20 years shows the chance of relegation with 40 points is 3 in 20 with one team going down with 42.
The lowest needed to stay up was 31 when we went down with 30 in 2010
