We need to be targeting Brighton and Watford above.
We can all hope that Stoke and Southampton continue their struggles and there's clearly a lack of quality in their squads. They've only won 6 and 5 games all season. For them to have any realistic chance at survival they are going to need to win at least half their existing tally's to date. And this from their 5 games remaining.
This could happen, anything still can. And that's how they will be looking at us. Their message boards are depressing now, much worse even than this one. They know they have to go on a Champions winning run to even have a squeak, and then they're looking at other clubs to help them out.
Nobody would swap places with them, no matter how much you squeal on here.
However, we need to turn this pressure on its head and look at climbing the table. Great the teams behind us are struggling but let's make sure we bring more into the equation just in case.
Watford and Brighton sit 12th and 13th respectively and Watford have 1 point from the last 5 games, and like last season, are in free-fall. They have 4 games left including Spurs, Man United and Palace. Brighton have picked up 1 point in the last 4 games and are feeling the strain and as we know have a horrendous run in. What they would give for 3 games against Bournemouth, Stoke and Southampton, with 2 of them at home.
This is the reality of our situation and you can bet all you want on what Carlos will be drumming into our players.
We are looking up, not down. We are going to City for a point and we want a result against Chelsea. We don't want to lose against Bournemouth and we want to do our business early so we can go into the last 2 games trying to get as far up the table as possible.
We are better than Everton, we are better than Watford, Brighton and the 2 behind us. And we are mentally strong and ready for the run in.
Keep that scoreboard ticking over. |  |

The only teams we should be focused on are
Man City
Chelsea
Bournemouth
Southhampton
Stoke City
And how we get some points from these games to ensure we finish at least 17th. Not looking at teams above us but on what we need to do in each of our remaining games.
whilst Man City are now crowned champions Saturday will no doubt be even harder as the pressure iis off them sothere will be no nerves and they will not want to slip on a bananna skin for their celebration..oure aim should be to keep the score down to protect our GD...it would be great if we could sneak a point.
The other games we should be aiming to to get results from. Chesea shown they are vulnerable away and we have beaten Liverpool and Arsenal ...that said WBA beat United yesterday! |  |

Very fair point. It’s only normal for us fans to get preoccupied with other teams losing, but from the teams point of view, it’s very much in their own hands and all they need to focus on is the remaining games.
Play like we did against Everton and we won’t need anyone to do us a favour. | | | |

If we fail to muster up a win just like we failed in the last two games then I’m afraid we are focusing on Southampton below us to not pick up any points.
Stoke are finished. |  |

Why would we be targeting teams above us to finish higher than them by failing to muster up a win?
That's the whole point. There's lots of points still to be won. And not just the 3 a lot are hoping for. | |

There's lots of points to won by all the teams in trouble.
Winning them is much harder than talking about it though.
For example who would have thought WBA would have got 4 points out of the last 6 ?
If Stoke win tonight, they could well go on a run and put us down.
Ergo, we cannot afford to forget the teams below us ... |  |

Lucky not to lose three points of our advantage over Stoke there - one point was bad enough.

We need to. We need to get at the ones above us.
West Ham firmly in our sights now. Another team we'll end up above. | |

"We should never have been in this trouble, that's all down to Clement. "
Would that be the same Clement that you said Jenkins was right to wait until December before sacking, when the rest of us were calling for him to be sacked from the WHU away game onwards ?
Hate to break this to you but the league table doesn't lie.
The only team in a false position IMO is Huddersfield.
The rest are better than us because when push came to shove they have got the results that mattered - that is why they are above us |

Well done you for seeing that Clement could have been facing the sack then.
However in endless posts since you have defended the Yanks and HJ, who are colletivelly responsible for the bad managerial decisions (i.e keeping managers on too long)
Any way, more important things in the world to worry about. | |

Chris,
We are blatantly NOT better than Brighton (safe) or Watford (safe) in the current table which does not lie.
We are currently in 17th place and 5 points above the relegation zone .......please don’t paint a rosy picture on behalf of the Sellouts depicting us over achieving from where we are now ........
In reality we are most certainly IN THE SHIT and if we don’t pick up a point in the next 2 games then we will go into the last 3 games of the season to Bournemouth away and Soton and Stoke at home needing 4/5 points ..........I don’t sit comfortably with that tbh...the greater the pressure the bigger the chance of the team folding under that pressure .....
Never seen a final day ‘shootout’ including the Swans’ for relegation so far but think this year it will be different .... |
I really don’t think Brighton are safe just yet, they are 2 points above us with a horrendously difficult run in. It’s not inconceivable that they don’t pick up another point. | | | |

The answer may still lie ahead
Huddersfield are spent.
But we always needed to win at least one more.
So it's as was, look up, not down | |

So Huddersfield lose the rest of their games and finish on 35
Stoke win all their games and finish on 36
Soton win all their games and finish on 41
We fail to beat Bournemouth and even if we draw,, based on worst case scenario, above, we end up on 34 and are relegated.
Personally I cannot see that happening, but if today showed anything, it's clear we cannot afford to forget the teams below us.
In an ideal world, we'll win all three and everyone's happy.
However when did Swans ever do things the easy way ? | |

One win should do it for us.
I think the bottom three could well be
Mighty Swans (on 36)
--------------------------------
Huddersfield (on 35)
Stoke
WBA | |

One win will probably still do it, that would mean Hudds need either a win or two draws which is going to be very tough with their fixtures, and Stoke could then only pass us with a cricket score down here. |  | | |

The bookies think Stoke are finished but I am not so sure.
I think they will beat Palace next week who are safe.
That will give them 33 going into the last game.
If Huddersfield lose all 3 they will have 35.
So Stoke could then overtake us if we take 2 points or less off Bournemouth or Southampton.
We have to win one of those games. | |

Palace won't think they're safe next week, they'll want to make sure of it.
Unfortunately though, so will Bournemouth but they must be in a dodgy run of form as well.
Just checked, 1 win in ten. | |

Hudds is likely to be an out route for us. I can see Soton finishing above us AND us still staying up. A win next week (however unlikely) will mean we can lose to Soton and stay up. The 1st two times I watched Bmuff this season they were ghastly. They are home though so I'm not expecting much. We are going to have to win one of our home games in all likelihood. I also believe that we stay up on GD. Yikes. [Post edited 29 Apr 2018 10:23]
