No guarantees Swansea will win two more league games this season. They have won just two of their last ten league matches, and those were against the bottom two sides.

who said anything about guarantees? We have 5 points from our last 5 games. Now we need 5 points from our next 9 to be safe - that is hardly a taxing ask.

If they continue with their recent form, they could well be drawn right into the middle of the relegation fight.

our recent form will see us safe comfortably on 38 points (39 including GD)

Three of their next four fixtures are away, with Norwich at home being a vital match. Fail to beat Norwich, and there's every chance of being in,or very close to the relegation places.

i firmly believe we will pick up enough points from now until Norwich to continue our arms length distance away from the relegation zone.

I believe your next two fixtures are Everton and Arsenal, both away. While it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that you may pick up points from these fixtures, I would be surprised if you do. Two defeats in these games would have the players nervously looking over their shoulders, and may just sow some seeds of doubt. Hull away is not easy, and I still think the Norwich game is crucial.

All ifs and buts, if we win them both we are safe. If we win and draw we are looking great. If we draw them both then we need 2 points from 7 games. If if if if

I am not concerned in the slightest. Maybe its best to allow time to answer all the ifs, as it can be discussed all day every day until it happens.

Maybe look at things this time next month, see if it all turns out in the way that you have predicted. I have to go now, you have a good day.

Or wait until the end of the season as in one months time we will be in exactly the same position in guessing the results of future matches and the many combinations and scenarios :D

Two tricky games coming up away from home, get them out of the way then we have 7 winnable games to get 4 or 5 points (assuming we get nothing at Arsenal or Everton). I have never doubted for a second our ability to do this. Especially with Pablo, Michu, Shelvey, Chico and Dyer all due back.

My day is over. 1am here but i will have a nice sleep :D

And then there was 8.
Talking to a few supporters and they said they're not playing that we'll "it seems whatever we score the opposition will score more." Worried extremely.
Their words. Needless to say they're bankrupt chairman is shitting himself his luck may well be about to turn and about time.

We are 13% closer to safety as there is 1 less game to play for everyone and the points gap remains the same.

Well then your also 13% closer to relegation as you don't currently have the required amount of points to stay up .

No we arent.

The gap is the same as before so we are no closer to relegation. We dont have to get anymore points if the weeks continue as last weeks.
