Dyche has gone all in on Dwight McNeil to keep us up. Let's see how it works out.

A bold strategy considering he gave up on him to keep Burnley up last year.

….i feel the same about Forest. For me, if we don’t finish above Forest we are down.

Quite possibly.

I’d need to see us win there next weekend before I believe that we could catch and overtake Forest. Their goal difference is definitely bottom three material.

Not for me think it’s Southampton Bournemouth Everton or Forest going. If we can get above forest we will be safe in my opinion.

Possibly, I just wonder whether we’re capable of catching and overtaking Forest though.

Same they went on a little run and got points on the board but they looked second best in a lot of them games. Today West ham turned them over good. hopefully this is the start of them going on a very bad run. It’s vital we also beat them. If we beat I think we will catch them. If we don’t I honestly think we finish 18th.

If we beat them, it’s game on. If we lose, you’ll have your answer.

Their home form is whats keeping their head above water. They are amazingly even worst than Everton away from home.

A win would be huge to really draw them in and psychologically hurt them at the City Ground. They haven't lost a home game since mid September which for a promoted team is some going. Lost six times at Goodison in same time period.

The thing that worries me is that there arent any remaining games that I'm confident we could win
There are a lot more games I'm fearful we will lose
Net result is that I can't see us getting enough points

I said after the Arsenal game that DCL needs to be looked after health-wise as the utmost priority if we’re to survive. With a good manager in place, he’ll be able to get a tune out of him, as he did against Arsenal, and will be a real goal scoring threat. Absolutely crazy that a club that has been in the top flight for 72 years consecutively and has a billionaire owner is looking likely to go down because we only have one striker (who is extremely injury prone). Such a dereliction of duty by the powers that be at Everton.

People are swinging from relegated to safe and back to relegated based on each set of results This relegation battle will ebb and flow across the remaining 14 games with about 7 teams involved. It would not surprise me if the same seven sides are still in relegation trouble with four games to go. I think it will be the the tightest relegation battle for many years and will probably be resolved on the final day of the season

The trouble is, we simply do not look like scoring. Since Christmas, we've scored six goals in nine games - one penalty, three from set pieces, and two have been the result of individual brilliance. Apart from not having players who can score, we don't create chances. I pray that we will be safe but it looks to me like a very uphill task, given that we've already played most of the teams around us.

"We dont score" - apart from against Arsenal and Leeds.

So many people throwing in the towel already, there was laways going to be twists and turns to go yet.

Enough positive signs to be thinking we are going to be OK.

There is no way we'll be in the relegation zone for the rest of the season.

People need to stop pissing heir kecks.
