Apart from Villa

I think we could have done with the Sunderland/WBA game being a drawer just to keep as many clubs in the relegation mix as possible
As it is West Brom now look all but safe & I can’t help but look at them & think “if only”

As it is, my worry before this run of league games that the club has just gone through (from Liverpool on 12/2 to Chelsea on Saturday) was that Latics would be well & truly cut adrift at the foot of the table, so to go into Saturday’s game knowing that a victory could see the club out of the bottom 3 means the situation is nowhere near as dire as I though it could be

Whether the team is capable of putting the sort of points return together that so far Bobby’s team hasn’t looked close to doing is another matter but there are still chinks of light at the end of the tunnel

Not that long ago it was any 3 teams from 10 for the drop

Now in my opinion its any 3 from 6

Soon it will be 3 from 5 then 3 from 4 and we will be in the four

Can we do it?

At the start of the season I predicted that we’d get 39 points which included from the last 6 games a tally of 7 with wins against Blackpool, West Ham & a draw at Stoke which I doubt would be enough to keep us up

The only real extra point/s I could see us picking up is a draw at Sunderland.
Don’t think we’ll get owt from an Everton side who are now pushing for a European spot. Villa on their own patch would be a tough un to get owt from n’all

I’d agree with tea bag head when he says that its now probably down to any 3 from 6 for the drop as I think those above Blackburn are now pretty much safe

EDIT – having just done the BBC website predictor 38 points may well be enough now I’ve bothered to have a look at who the other teams have got to play. My 3 for the drop were Blackpool (36pts), Blackburn (36pts) & Wolves (37pts)

As Blackpool have an even worse goals conceded record than Latics & they have that clown Kingson in nets then I’d wager even Di Santo might be able to bag one against them ;)
