No, because every team from Hull in 11th down can go down.

Nah.Whatever happens in the derby i expect us to start picking up points once injured players are fit and maybe 1 or 2 signings come in.We're playing quite well now even with a depleted side.Our run in is quite favorable too so I expect us to finish around 11-13th.

Don't know, but we can beat them.
Plenty to be upbeat about. Only three points above us after they were supposed to be light years ahead. :lol: :lol: :lol:

No fear, another three points. (where-ever we finish) :thumbup: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :D

Where would you be with 9 players out injured? 13th and still in Europe?

Saying you're 13th means nothing, a couple of teams winning and you losing could put you in the bottom three.

Swansea have no chance of going down, they are a decent team having a disapointing league campaign

I'd say the championship and the premier league are light years apart wouldn't you?

That's where we will be as a result of our current AND projected league final positions.

Newcastle are 1or behind Man Utd yet Utd are light years ahead too.

Thankfully, it doesn't work on predictions & works on actual results. I'm quite confident that under OGS, we will have a great chance of survival.

Agreed. However current actual results sees you bottom. Time will tell if this changes.

And the opposite can see them in the top 10 hence the opportunity being 14th give you.

Totally agree, I just don't think saying you are 13th is a good thing considering how right it is. A couple of good results for us and a couple of bad for them would see us go above them

But you say that as if its easily done.

Cardiff have won 1 game in 12, I believe. This is the premier league, points are hard to come by. 3 points, a game in hand and superior goal difference is quite a decent gap.

I'm not saying it is easily done at all. I totally expected us to be where we are right now, but there are also a hell of a lot of points to get and anything can happen in the league. Like you said injuries etc, but you could easily lose your next two games and Cardiff win and draw putting us above you. The same as we could lose our next two games, and you win to go 9pts ahead

If it happens then you can rightly say "we are 14th". However you cant say Swansea cany say they are 4th because they are there on merit. Points are tough to get and they have accumuated enough to be there. If it changes then it changes however on the 20 odd games so far, its not likely to any time soon.
