Reading through many threads I'm surprised people are still saying we need to keep one eye on relegation? Assuming Sheffield and Albion are down, for us to drop to 18th, even if we lose all 10 remaining games, all this has to happen - Fulham and Brighton both have to make up 9pts, Toon 8pts, Burnley 5pts, Soton 2pts and Palace 1pt. Toon's and Palace's GD is presently 8 worse than us, and Burnley's is 7 worse than us. All these sides have to overtake us for us to go down. It would be an impossibility for us to lose all 10 games and for all those sides to make up all that ground, surely? I accept people will still say let's get to the magic 40 pts or let's wait till it's mathematically sure but I think it's reasonable to make comments about the way to go this season and for next season without relegation being a consideration?
