Leicester are also poised to surge past us with their April fixtures

It`s okay because Dyche is going to save them

Oh god I forgot about that hahaha. He’s deffo getting 3 draws which is equivalent to a win

I don't ever think it's wise to look at runs of games, whether they look good or bad on paper. We can win games we are expected to lose, and will fail to win games were we expect to win. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we fail to win tomorrow for example, yet few of us expected back to back wins.

Take it one game at a time and see where it takes us. Tomorrow is potentially a very big game for our season. It's an opportunity to take a big step to safety against a direct rival.

Not only will he save Leicester. but he will relegate us too and it`ll all be our fault

We are still about 10/1 which feels generous especially after todays press conference (we are severely constrained by PSR).

Beat Leicester tomorrow and 10/1 is probably right but if we lose we are right in the relegation mix.

Only Spurs have a multitude of players to come back which will improve them - us not so much.

Yep but until they are out of it they are in it

Yeah, ultimately no one would watch football if you could look at the next 10 fixtures and guess the results correctly.

Nightmare runs never turn out to be disasters, easy runs almost always disappoint.

Watched Southamptons last 2 away games at united and forest.
If they play like they did in those at ipswich tomorrow can see them taking points at portman road.

 

[matty1878]

now this scares me to death, Matty admitting that Everton FC will be ok

If we win tomorrow and go 10pts clear....you would have to be an insane crazy person to think 10/1 odds is worth throwing away money on.

Wolves and Ipswich are on pace to get 26.

 

[blue to the bone]

I don't think we will go down or.even be that close to it .
But a win tomorrow and there's no way Leicester and obviously Southampton pass us. It would make it a little easier for the last few months to have not to worry about 2 teams anyway

 

[windymiller]

The premier league would not allow this to happen.

Ha ha, yeah we'd get an emergency points deduction out of nowhere to save their bacon.

Ha ha, that's my favourite @Saint Domingo non-sequitur.
