Not sure. Can quite easily see Gaston on the bench again, as we all know his away performances haven't been ideal - and that team has worked pretty well together. Davis was excellent against Chelsea.

It was more of an unbeaten run I think. Espanyol were in relegation trouble most of the season, but at the end they finished comfortably in 10th, he took them well clear of it when most expected them to go down at some stages. He then took them on the following season, but financial purse strings forced him to sell the majority of his big name players and replace them with players from the acedmy. It's then when they started to struggle again.

Should be the trademark image for John Terry of 2012-2013. Sums it all up. Lost his way completely.

It's a game we can win. If we play like like we did against Chelsea in the first half, then they have no chance. No disrespect to them, but they just don't have the quality. If you're having to play Legierwood and Harte in your starting 11 in the PL, then you're clearly in the wrong league.

Would want Stoke and QPR wins out of those lot. (And us obviously!) Would move us further away from 18th, and drop Wigan and Villa deep into the ****. QPR would gain points, but I don't worry about them now. Think they're long gone, and it's not us they'll be trying to catch either. That set of results would probably almost secure us for another year. (As we'd be 7 pts clear)

Win our remaining home games and we're fine (WBA/WHU/Stoke) 9 points from our last 7 should be doable to be honest. Would give us 43 points and some breathing space as well I'd imagine. I doubt we'll even need as many as 9 to be honest. (if we can't manage 9 points from 27 with the fixtures we have remaining, then something has gone wrong!) It's too early to say we're safe, but I think we're in a position now (and with our run-in) where it would take something catastrophic for us to go. I think we're probably in a false position really, we're much better than the rabble down there. It's just our start has meant that we are down there. Based on our form since November we're no where near them, I see no reason why that shouldn't continue. Quality wise, I think we're on a different level to the likes of Wigan, Villa, Norwich, Reading etc.

Good old fashioned defending for me.

Too much can be made of pace. It's important to have drops of it in a side, but you don't need pace in every single position. You need someone with a good football head and touch, and a good touch combined with a good brain can often open up much more than raw pace can.

Would take Remy in a shot, although he's probably on a fortune.

QPR are painfully short on quality in specific area's, which will be their undoing. And they seem to have a painful lack of team spirit. Reading are simply short of quality full stop. I will stick my neck on the line here and say they're both long gone. For either to stay up they will need to win 80% of their remaining games, whilst also hoping that the teams above them lose every week. Not going to happen really.

Can't see anyway back for QPR or Reading now to be honest.

I don't think we're going to be spending close to that! Not sure why we need to buy a top RB anyway, as we already have one.

Paris, probably.

Jinxed.

To give credit to Fulham, they look bloody good tonight.

3-0 lol. Relegation pretty much confirmed.

I can't get over how bad QPR look. This could be whatever score Fulham want.

I wonder how long until we get our visit from Flyer?

They look completely horrific. They are long gone. The fall out next season will be fun to see though. Redknapp won't hang around.

Don't expect many signings. I can probably see 1 or 2 additions. A utility defender, who can offer cover in both FB positions and CB. and a pacey winger/come striker.

They are completely and utterly out of their depth at this level, it's embarrassing to watch and you kind of feel sorry for them at times.

You will always get complete morons involved with every club. I had the misfortune of sitting next to a couple last year, one in particular spend every minute of every game at the start of the year telling Lambert to get back to L2 where he belongs. It's safe to say that he was silenced a few months into the season - maybe the guy has resurfaced near you this year!

His last clean free kick in the league, was during our 3-1 win away at Bournemouth back in L1.

Villa look hopeless thus far.

Let's just calm these threads until we're actually safe. As good as our last 2 performances have been, we're still only 4 points from safety (could be 1 if Wigan win their game in hand, although unlikely) Long way to go until I can feel conformable talking about next seasons chances!
