Simple, how many points do people think we need from our next 5 games? I know we could get points against Everton and Arsenal at home - but (I know it’s stating the obvious) our next 5 games are massive.

Next 5 games - I'm guessing we'll get a total of 14pts   |

10 points will be enough, maybe even 8

38 should be fine for survival this season, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it be 39 or 40.
We will be guaranteed safe after the Everton game is my guess.

They say over a season you need to average 2 points a game to get promoted, this is like a 5 game mini season where 10 points gained will feel like a promotion, so put the stage up in Georges square & lets party again...why not?

9 points would suffice. Possible but not at all easy.

But yet we are still here in with a shout so maybe learn your lesson yeah ? |

Relax and just enjoy them - none of them are 'must win' cause we can always win the next one.
And remember - if we go into the Everton game needing 3 points for survival then we'll get them - 100%.

I think we could average a point a game from next seven and be OK.

As many as we can get and see how the coin lands. No predictions, points make prizes but can we get enough? We shall see come the final game of the season. Either way we shall still support the Blue and White.

Either way we shall still support the Blue and White. Wagner will just be looking to win the next game, then the next one,etc. Play like vs Bournemouth, Man Utd at home and we will be fine. |

Swansea D Palace W Newcastle L Brighton D Watford W 8pts should be enough ...but not easy and i think we will get a point in the last four games against Everton or Arsenal 39 pts and safety Why on earth would we settle for a draw v Swansea? Bournemouth were in good form. If we are bothered about facing up to Swansea we deserve the Championship. No fears about Everton or Arsenal either who have terrible away records. Appreciate we could lose to all of them. DW knows what's required. |

I'd be content with five points from the next three games - and not disappointed with four. |

Hope DW is looking at 9 points and would be very surprised if he's not planning for that and setting the team up for it. No half measures now. |

I'm not sure what you mean, and to be honest, your words above in bold are just gobbledygook. Of course DW will set up for Town to win all the remaining home games. That's got absolutely nothing at all to do with the fact that Swansea are on fire at the moment and a draw would be a decent result. Palace aren't awful either. Let's not forget we didn't beat Southampton, Stoke, Leicester and Burnley at home. We also got arseholed by West Ham. A point a game will see us through. |

You are saying it's unlikely that we will beat Swansea and Palace. I'm saying it's likely that we will. Hope the team are not thinking it's unlikely that we won't win those two games. On fire - Swansea were arseholed 4-1 by Brighton in their last away match? No need to fear either Swansea or Palace. As DW repeatedly explains, but which people seem to fail to uunderstand, Town's level of performance will determine the outcome. |

If Brighton at home can thrash Swansea, I would be very surprised if we cannot. The Palace game will depend if they've got their star man back in the squad. Even then I think we'll have too much for them.

Even then I think we'll have too much for them. You and i both know that doesn't mean anything. Swansea can beat Liverpool at home but we can't, does that mean we will lose? |
