Looking at the run-ins we need to stay within 6 points of 6th.

The two in the box seat at the moment:
Reading - Watford (A), Cardiff (H), Luton (A), Swansea (H), Norwich (A), Huddersfield (H) - Pts Prediction: 7pts
Bournemouth - Huddersfield (A), Norwich (A), Millwall (A), Brentford (H), Wycombe (A), Stoke (H) - Pts Prediction: 6pts

The challengers:
Barnsley - Boro (H), Coventry (A), Huddersfield (A), Rotherham (H), Preston (A), Norwich (H) - Pts Prediction: 9 pts
Cardiff - Blackburn (H), Reading (A), Brentford (A), Wycombe (H), Birmingham (A), Rotherham (H) - Pts Prediction: 10 pts
Boro - Barnsley (A), QPR (H), Rotherham (A), Sheff W (H), Luton (A), Wycombe (H): Pts Prediction: 11Pts

They're all big games for us now but we have three 'free hits' Swansea, Bournemouth and Watford, any points from those game will be big points. We have two 6 pointers against Stoke and Barnsley, win and a draw and it's game on. By 10th April, seven games from now, Barnsley, it'll be game on or game over. We've lost lost 1 in 4, we have Tav and Fry fit again, Kebano settling in and Yannick coming back soon. Fletcher should be back for those Bournemouth, Watford and Barnsley games too. Let's look upwards.
You’ve missed out Bristol City who, after two massive away wins against us and Swansea (and a new experienced manager) will fancy overhauling a mere 2 point deficit. As are Stoke too. In fact a bad result to Cov tomorrow night and we could be 12th!
 
I think we have the fire power , just don't use it correctly .
We should play a front 4 in a 4/2/3/1
Tav
kebano , Bolasie , Watmore ,
with them all swapping positions / rotating .
With Spence ,Fletcher , Britt , Akpom , Johnson , as subs .
Not many teams have that .
Play football , play it through teams , into the spaces behind , use our strengths .
Play the same 2 sets of 4 all week in training so they get to know each other's game
Play the same system , just change the personnel if needed .
No hoof ball , let's have a go playing attacking , flowing football .

We could be 12th but still not out of it by a long shot. Or we could be 2 points of 6th with 1 defeat in 5. It's tight.

Bristol City are having the new manager bounce, it won't last. Stoke, have won 2 in 13, they will pick up from that, but I don't think they are out of it true.
