Wigan are surely doomed. Wolves are on a woeful run, they have only won 4 all season and haven''t won any of their last 8 games. The last spot is a tough one to call, Blackburn have only won 4 games all season, although they have won 2 of their last 4 league games and in these 4 games they have won 2 drawn 1 and lost 1, which suggests form is improving. Bolton have won 6 games, which is hard to believe, but that''s the same number as Swansea, Fulham and Villa. The difference being games drawn, Bolton 1, Swansea and Fulham 8 and Villa 9. QPR have won 5, 1 less than Bolton. Norwich, Everton, Sunderland and West Brom have all won 7 games. The last spot comes down to Bolton, Blackburn and QPR. It''s far from easy to call, especially as it''s difficult to judge how QPR will fare with their new players and new manager. If I have to pick one I''m going with QPR, mainly due to their last 10 fixture which look pretty tough on paper - Saturday, 17 March 2012Barclays Premier LeagueQPR v Liverpool, 15:00Saturday, 24 March 2012Barclays Premier LeagueSunderland v QPR, 15:00Saturday, 31 March 2012Barclays Premier LeagueQPR v Arsenal, 15:00Saturday, 7 April 2012Barclays Premier LeagueMan Utd v QPR, 15:00Monday, 9 April 2012Barclays Premier LeagueQPR v Swansea, 15:00Saturday, 14 April 2012Barclays Premier LeagueWest Brom v QPR, 15:00Saturday, 21 April 2012Barclays Premier LeagueQPR v Tottenham, 15:00Saturday, 28 April 2012Barclays Premier LeagueChelsea v QPR, 15:00Saturday, 5 May 2012Barclays Premier LeagueQPR v Stoke, 15:00Sunday, 13 May 2012Barclays Premier LeagueMan City v QPR, 15:00 So for me it''s - 18 - Qpr 19 - Wolves 20 - Wigan[/quote]I''ll go with that three as well, Qpr have a hard run in from now and Hughes is not going to be able to get all those players in that he wants in time to save them, it takes time to gell as we all know only to well.

Petriix 2,835 Posted January 27, 2012 [quote user="norfolkbroadslim"]I am amazed at the number of people who think West Brom will go down. They are 7 points above the relegation zone and have won the same number of games as us?[:^)][/quote]It''s just a wild stab in the dark but it is probable that one of the mid-table teams will slip into trouble at some point so why not them?

Dubyabeeay 0 Posted January 28, 2012 I am surprised too not that the thoughts on here are that we may go down but that you think you won''t be involved in it. Some would call it arrogance. I suppose you are relying on the rallying calls of a Drunken Delia but I only have you out of the bottom 3 because there are worse sides and then that is relying on Blackburns recovery not continuing. 17th I think. I''ll bookmark this page and return later in the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted January 29, 2012 I deliberately avoided including us in my original assessment, not befuddled I don''t think we might be involved but for two other reasons:1. Was only looking at the bottom half2. I don''t want to think about it3. Given our position and form, it isn''t arrogant to think we should stay up.There, three reasons! Happily, most people on the thread have followed this lead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spudgfsh 0 Posted January 29, 2012 What''ll help decide the relegation spots is the matches between those bottom 5 teamscurrent table of the 5 teams P W D L Pts1 Bolton Wanderers 4 3 1 0 102 Wolverhampton Wndrs 4 2 1 1 73 Queens Park Rangers 5 2 1 2 74 Wigan Athletic 5 1 1 3 45 Blackburn Rovers 4 0 2 2 2the matches left to playQPR V WolvesBolton V QPRBolton V BackburnBolton V WiganBlackburn V QPRBalckburn V WiganWolves V BoltonWolves V BlackburnWigan V WolvesWith those fixtures I''d think Bolton will have the best chance to stay up (especially given that they are actually winning games). Wigan look most likely to be relegated mostly due to their current form and points total. The other two spots are up for grabs.As for the teams above the relegation spot, any of the teams from WBA to Stoke City could be relegated but the points gap between them and the bottom 5 will prove enough of a buffer.
