Having taken a few baby steps in the right direction against Manchester United, the last four fixtures before the clocks go forward are Albion's last-chance saloon for putting up any kind of meaningful fight against relegation. For the word "survival" to even be mentioned, we'd have to win more of those four than not, and realistically, one of the wins would need to come this Saturday at Turf Moor.

Burnley, having drawn 1-1 with Fulham in midweek, sit fourteen points above us in 15th place. A 3-0 victory at Palace last Saturday broke a winless run of four in all competitions, and we can only hope that eased the pressure on them somewhat, especially as Jay Rodriguez is finding form again. Turf Moor is rarely kind to us - our most recent visit, under Tony Pulis at the beginning of our last relegation season, gave us a first win in Burnley since 2002 - but there's really no choice except to show the same kind of solidity we displayed against United, and hope our finishing is up to scratch when the big chances present themselves.

Well done for turning up, Saft. I just feel I'm watching the whole season now from another planet - we've been so bad that it's hard to care at all. Horrible feeling.

No Mike Dean fan but, for me, no option. It was deliberate handball and, if he doesn’t handle it, Vijdra is through. The issue for me, which Ajayi’s handball exemplified l, is a basic inability in a number of our players to get the basics right. At times, we don’t seem to be able to trap, control or pass a ball. Ajayi’s control was awful, he put himself into that situation
