I'm probably deluded but I do think that my prediction can be achieved with team consistency and luck on our side.
If my prediction does indeed happen then I think I should be made Honorary Prediction League King for next season. That'll look great on my CV.

Can only see us getting another 10 to 12 points.
Very concerned about what will be left of the team next season
RE: Staying up... or going down? - silverbaggie - 05-02-2018
Not a chance.
The team seems to be totally devoid of confidence and, while relegation is rarely a good thing, I just can't see us turning this around.
You would need someone with the charisma of Eddie Jones (Rugby)) to put some belief back into the players.
Even the threat that player's wages will be cut by half doesn't seem to have motivated the players. Perhaps because those that can will move to other Clubs as loyalty is long a thing of the past.
Feel sorry for the older players who now face the long hard fall into oblivion in order to keep earning.
The blame lies with the Owner, the Chairman and the previous head coach; all of whom dithered while Rome was so obviously on fire.

I struggle to see anyway back on this one and believe we're going down. However, West Brom have been and continue to be very unpredictable, so who knows? I can only hope they can surprise us all and pull out all the stops in order to keep us up! Miracles do happen (ask the Vicar
)

4 points adrift of safety and 36 points left to play for.
I'd agree with the negative feelings if we were 4 points adrift of safety with 3 or 4 matches left to play but there is 12 matches left. That is plenty of season left to turn things around.

I hope i'm wrong but I think were gone as somebody already said we need two wins to hopefully catch up and get out and as we've only managed 3 all season I cannot see where they are coming from. I think the teams from 11th to 19th are all in it and its between us and two others from that lot to go down. I think losing to saints was pivotal. Our form against those teams around us is woeful. Yes the football style has changed but results haven't. It will need a massive change in fortunes luck and results and that's just not the albion I know and have known for my entire football supporting life. like I said I hope I'm wrong but...?

I think we can stay up but it would require help from others to do so. So we can, but I don’t think we will.

From a totally unbiased perspective -
If there were one club I thought would be able to handle going down and quickly get back up - it would be West Brom'.
If there were one club I thought might be capable of a run of surprising results - it would be West Brom'.
If there were one loaned player I thought might either be astonishing, or totally pathetic - it would be Sturridge.
If there were one manager I thought might go on an unbeaten run, or lose for the rest of the season - it'd be Pardew.
Whatever transpires, you'll always be you and no-one, not even you, will be able to predict what happens next. Good luck.
