Bottom 3 in Premier League look doomed...

Even more so after Sheff United's win today v WBA
Brighton 4th bottom 7 points clear of Fulham, with goal difference more like 8 points.
Can see Man City walking away with the title.
Its all a bit boring this season....
 
I don't think the goal difference gap is that big, a 6 goal swing is nothing.

Fulham have a game in hand on Brighton, win that and they're only 4 points from safety.
They have 2 games in hand on Newcastle, who are only a point ahead of Brighton.

I don't think they will escape but it's far from over for Fulham.

West Brom have blown their chance with the last two results, and Sheffield United have been down for months.

I still fancy the Mags for the drop and they play Shef U last but one game of the season. That could be a winner takes all game.

Would love to see it but in Wilson they have a goalscorer...the bottom 3 don't although I can't understand why Fulham don't stick with Mitrovic and play off him....

Hard to see how the bottom 3 get out if it just now but if I had to pick a team who had a chance I would go Fulham as I have been quite impressed with them recently. Not sure they have enough though but they are a decent watch

Fulham could slowly chip away at Newcastle, especially if they pick anything up in their games in hand. I don't think they'll survive but they've got a chance. The other two are down

I agree with the above, Fulham need to start picking up points to draw Brighton and Newcastle right into it.

Fulham play Leicester, West Ham and Everton in their next 3 games. Can't really see them winning any of them, they've won two all season....and one of those was against WBA !!!
 
What does all this show? That the premier League really is three different Leagues? Quicker the top teams break away the better.

Such pity the mags won at Everton, if they’d lost or even drawn that they’d be right in it with Brighton and Fulham having games in hand on them.
 
I think if anyone goes on a miracle run it'll be WBA, Big Sam factor.

Unlikely though. The gap is widening, they're all very poor teams and the teams just above them - Brighton, Newcastle and Wolves - have much more about them, sadly.

If we get promoted, or even if we don't, I'd love to see us sign Mitrovic. Really rate him. Can play on his own up front, great in the air, lethal finisher, the kind of player who can get you 15 Premier League goals - sort of a Poundshop Boksic. Was amazed he stuck around in the Champo for Fulham and even more amazed Fulham aren't pinning all their hopes on him this year.
