1) 4 points from safety with 12 matches to go so we are nowhere near finished yet.

2) 36 points to play for and we realistically need at least 16 more points to stay up.

It's going to be tough but it's doable.

Josh, I think the problem is not the number of games because, you're right, there's enough to gather the points we need. Neither is the issue Chelsea away, manure away, Spurs at home; the problem is Huddersfield at home, Burnley at home, Swansea at home etc, games we will undoubtedly fail to win. Our home results against Stoke, Newcastle, Watford, Southampton and West Ham have been wretched. When we get relegated, those are the games we'll point to, not our performances against the top six. I'm not going to blame Pardew, even though I'm struggling with some of his selections; this debacle lies squarely at the feet of Mr A Pulis. For all those pundits who thought we were insane to dismiss this footballing genius and magician, it's good to see he's doing a really great job at Middlesbrough.
