Normally you'd target wins against the likes of Huddersfield, Leicester, Burnley and Swansea all at home and hope for a minimum of a draw at the likes of Watford, Bournemouth, Newcastle and Palace. I agree with you SM, 5 wins and 3 draws and somewhere in those fixtures there's enough left to get them.
But again as you've said, 3 wins in the last 24 is truly shocking and add to that, most of those opponents who are down there with us will be targeting our fixture as a must win as well. We're 4 points adrift already and for the last few weeks, us, Huddersfield and Stoke are the ones who look incapable of winning a couple at the moment.
If Chelsea is treated like the Man City game, resting players, not risking players and parking the bus, we will in all probability be going into the Huddersfield game at least 4 points from safety with a -20 goal difference.
I still have hope, but most of it is probably blind hope, Albion have a habit of letting me down
