Well, we might be bottom end of the league table, but we were top of the form table...
When I made the original poll I thought we were truly buggered, well now I'm not so sure, 3 away trips on the spin may pull us back into the sh*t.

In my view, weve got to have a go for 3 pts from the next two games... not sit so deep so long. We gotta take a chance and believe in ourselves and play in the opposition half a lot more. We have a platform now and dont want to leave it 'til the last game. Lets go for it and turn the heat up on the rest.

I'm nervous about these 2 away games..lose them both, then 12 days to stew on that before Cardiff away...3 points would be a good return , 2 draws the minimum return I'd say..then sit back and watch everyone else play 2-3 games...by which time we could be bottom 3.. Every game is nerve wracking now isn't it..

Goes without saying but just like yestarday other teams down there not winning can also be a big help, although we cant be relying on that.

A Win on Saturday would be huge
Especially with QPR playing Sheff United and Reading playing Burnley.

If we only managed 60 passes against Blackburn, I dread to think what it is going to be like against pass masters Swansea.
Surely we aren't going to let them have the ball for 90 minutes

We can do it, its possible. We have shown over the past few games we can compete, we don't just have to lay down and die and disappear down into league 1 with a whimper. The recent upturn seems to have co-incided with the ownership situation now seeming to be more clear, has it been hanging over the squad all season?? Add in Warnocks ability to rally a squad and it seems possible now. The question is do the players believe they can do it? If they do and they give it 100%, everything they have got then yes, we will stay up

OK we conceded 2 goals, but the amount of times they got stuck in, blocked (or tried to block) shots, and just looked like they were willing to die for the shirt was fantastic to see. It's certainly not what we were seeing even 2 months ago |

It's certainly not what we were seeing even 2 months ago They certainly did, everything they need to show to get out of the hole we were in, biggest worry for me is giving up a lead like that might dent confidence, which lets be honest has been shaky at best all season |

I mean I realise how ridiculous this sounds with 5 games to go but the next two are crucial for me.
Get one win and it really gives us a fabulous chance. Two weeks ago I was pleased we had two of the teams down there Still to play.....now we have our noses in front it makes me nervous. It gets very binary....we lose, they win. Playing different teams at least we lose and so might they. Squeaky bum

If we play the same way as Yesterday over the next three games then the Reading game might not make any difference. We need to get a few wins as quickly as possible. |

If they do and they give it 100%, everything they have got then yes, we will stay up If they don’t believe they can do it based on the last four games, I’d be concerned! It’s in our hands with five games left. Who’d have guessed that a few weeks ago!? Crazy. I reckon we will be safe by the Reading game…… |

Still too close to call. Had we beat blackburn I'd have said we'll definitely survive.
This is the Championship where anyone can beat anyone on their day. Any of the teams below us could go on a little run like we have, just as it's possible we could go on a losing streak.
Town never do things the easy way so I suspect there will be some twists and turns yet.
We need at the very least 2 points from the next two games, ideally 3 IMO.

Goes without saying but just like yestarday other teams down there not winning can also be a big help, although we cant be relying on that. This has been a truly mental season Sab with teams around the relegation zone pretty much beating and actually seriously shocking their opponents in the top six (apart from Town) up until the international break... But oh how good does it feel to be us doing this now while those around us aren’t quite anymore the way they were - It is definitely better to hit our purple patch when we have and the rivals will truly feel the pressure now - though they must be respected as they could still produce - The Championship is always pretty awesome drama but this years relegation is gonna be pure and utter manic ! Sometimes it’s not good to pace set too early in a relegation battle and this is the time to do it thankfully we have responded in the last four games... It’s gonna be dramatic, emotional, sensational - but hey ho - ‘Twas always this with Huddy Town ! |

We're still very much in a spot of bother here and can't really afford slip ups.
2 points ahead with 5 games to go. It can go either way really. However our form is looking good and Warnock has been getting the best out of this squad out of anyone this season.
I just really hope we don't look back at that 91st minute goal against Blackburn. 4 points ahead right now would be much more comfortable! (That said, I do think it was a great point to get, just the timing of that second goal hurts)

how many actually went to Vetch field back in the day..when they were Swansea Town ? I went once, it was chucking it down..they had a stadium with one new stand and three old ones..looked weird but that was prior their Toshack days I think...when he took them from league 4 to league 1. Think we lost..it's all a bit hazy now..

Remember on one visit sitting on the coach waiting to leave after we lost & looking out of the window at the corner of the two old stands thinking 'that looks ready to collapse anytime soon', the weather was just how you described too a tee.........Ninian & Somerton Parks weren't much better. |

Town scored 2 and Blackburn scored 2. At this stage in the season, I couldn’t give a monkies about stats and I’m sure most fans are the same. Warnock is getting a tune out of the team which is more than can be said for Scofield and Buzz. We just need to keep doing what we are doing. |

I'd probably take Warnock over all of them for his man-management skills. Not saying the above didn't have those skills too but Warnock edges it for being able to speak Yorkshire. |
