Out of the 11 matches remaining, 7 of our fixtures are against the 7 teams directly above the drop zone.
For us to stay up it realistically has to be one of Soton, Burnley, Brighton or Newcastle to take our place.
Southampton are on a terrible run, Newcastle are generally poor and Brighton have started looking like they're as cursed as we are with VAR and 50/50s...
If we can start with a win against the Saints on Saturday and go on to beat the three teams directly above the relegation zone, then it puts us on 26 points.
Meaning it effectively comes down to the three games against Palace, Wolves and Leeds, which are all far from predetermined if the team can keep fighting like they did tonight.
If we can get even 4 points from those three fixtures, which I think is possible, then it starts to look tasty.
Any unexpected points against...
Leicester (showed tonight they're capable of dropping points)
Spurs (hit and miss)
Arsenal (also hit and miss)
and Everton (will be tough imo) are all a bonus...but not essential.
Big ask like, but it is possible.
Dare to dream?
