Reply With QuoteWe have the most fixtures against the top 6 clubs, and also the most away games. Given that we are also 2 points behind, it would be pretty amazing if we could pull off a great escape. I hope our team love a good challenge!

I can't see Southampton picking up many points from that lot. If they don't beat Brighton, they're ****ed. 3 wins or 9 points from anywhere could do it for us.
I imagine they are looking at Bournemouth and Huddersfield as their absolute must wins.Originally Posted by NYCBlue
Unfortunately it’s looking like we will need 5 wins or 4 wins plus two draws. This could be one of those unlucky seasons where 38/39 points may not be enough
I know we are Cardiff and a bit one-eyed at times, but I can see the other managers looking at those fixtures and fancying their chances, especially after our recent dismal performances. It's still all to play for, but we need to get our act together pretty quickly if we are to stand any chance of escaping the drop.
Not just this but there will be the odd fluke result too. I recall our last venture in this league when Sunderland, struggled all season then went and beat undefeated Chelsea at the bridge out if the blue.
When you look at the fixtures it does look like on paper we have the harder run in, but its all about pressure this time of the season and who handles it better. Our next few fixtures are on paper are more winaable than say Southampton. If Southampton lose the next four,which i can see them doing then the fixtures that looked winnable to them now become harder due to pressure. There are going to be so many twists over the next 10 games.
Don’t you just know it.
Also likely that we will have 2 games in hand on southampton going into the final 3/4 weeks of the season.
It is what it is .... let the boys get out there and have some fun I'm sure the we'll get the results needed to stay up
You're missing Brighton's away game at Chelsea which has still to be re-arranged, so they'll have two to fit it with ours as well.
Brighton 39
Sotton 35
City 33
Watch them go and turn spurs over at home like Burnely somehow just did.....
Quite right and well spotted, so it's Brighton away to Chelsea, after they lost the home fixture 1-2.
Watch them beat Man U 1-0 tomorrow.
We've played well away at Spurs and home and away against Arsenal but I reckon we need to do what we haven't been able to do so far - pick up point(s) against a top 6 side - and pick up at least three wins against more comparable sides to stay up. Need the crowd and team believing again.
That's my thoughts. If we are to survive we have to get points v 1 of the big 6.
I think if we need to be out of the bottom 3 after the next 4 games if not it will be massively against us.
Brighton have got some very easy games in there so their slump is going to have to continue. I can see them beating Huddersfield and then they have a grudge match at Palace.
I still don't think we will do it.
And to achieve this we need to go out all guns blazing against the remaining top 6. **** going out not to lose as we'll just end up losing anyway. Goal difference is all kinds of messy so just go for it. That'll get the crowd going again.
