You have Southampton playing Fulham at home twice in your list. Should be corrected to Liverpool at home in the final set of fixtures.

We have it in us to get 2 more wins out of that. Takes us to 36.
I can’t see Everton getting more than 2 wins and a draw which would put them on 35 at best.
Southampton would need 4 wins out of 5 including beating us. V unlikely on last nights showing and with their run in.
Massive game for Leeds on Saturday at Bournemouth. If we can match their result at least this weekend they’ve got a nightmare run in.

I still see Wet Sham losing their next 4 and not being safe.

The bookies have Southampton gone, hard to argue with that. Everton too and after seeing them last night, I think so.

I think the other spot will go down to the last game which is a shame as I'd expect both Fester and Leeds to win those at home if needed.

Meant to add Leicester have the goals in their team to get the results they need so I almost hope they beat Everton and we take our chance on doing better than Leeds.

Nervous about Bournemouth - Leeds on Sunday. Could be a high scoring win in either side's favour. Could really do with Leeds not going 3 points ahead of us (obviously I hope we get something from Brentford, but...).

I’ve just done a predictor thing for the lowest 5 teams and I have us on 36 points with wins against Southampton and Palace.

My concern is now that when teams like Bournemouth, West Ham, Palace and Wolves become safe they are going to roll over quite easy in the remaining games, dishing out easy points to those who are fighting.

We need Bournemouth to get wins now for sure.

West Ham have 3 wins in 6, 10 points from 18. Can you honestly see 3 teams below them ALL gaining enough points, and they have 2 games in hand? Get yourself to the bookies if so mate.

Southampton probably are gone yes but it seemed ridiculous to exclude them given that 2 wins gives them hope and they are involved with other teams down there. Imagine being a saints fan and looking on here to find a Forest fan is arrogant enough to exclude you from any hope of survival? Poor form indeed.

Yes, likeliest scenario sees Southampton and Everton dead and buried and it's between us, Leeds and Leicester for the final berth. I would say Leeds will be the third team going down (they have a horrible run in) but it's going to be mighty close.

We have at least two wins and a draw in us and that should be enough.

So, I think we can safely say who is now involved. With Bournemouth on 36 and West Ham on 34 with 2 games in hand they are safe, both will have a say on who goes though. Every team has played 33 games. Heres the standings, form (most recent result last) and remaining fixtures. If theres any traction in the thread I'll edit it as needed. So many potential scenarios, a nightmare for any fan involved.

17 - Forest - 30 - DLLLLW - 4 - A Brentford - H Soton - A Chelsea - H Arsenal - A Palace
18 - Leicester - 29 - LLLLWD - 4 H Everton - A Fulham - H Liverpool - A Newcastle - H West Ham
19 - Everton - 28 - DDLLDL - 3 A Leicester - A Brighton - H Man City - A Wolves - H Bourne
20 - Soton - 24 - DLLLDL - 2 A Newcastle - A Forest - H Fulham - A Brighton - H Liverpool

Pick the bones out of that as you please,and if youve got any nails left or not become a raging piss head by mid May, congratulations!

Southampton aren’t getting points out of Newcastle or Brighton. But they’ll beat Fulham and maybe surprise Liverpool. 6pts max for them.

Everton hopefully to draw at Leicester and win against Wolves and Bournemouth - 7pts

Leicester to draw with Everton and Fulham, and beat West Ham 5pts

Leeds have it tough - games against Man City, Newcastle and a better looking Spurs last night coupled with away games at Bournemouth and West Ham. I’m going to say a draw at the Muff and against West Ham for and a last day win against Spurs for 5pts

For us Arsenal are still going to be in the hunt at that stage due to the way Man City’s games in hand are scheduled so I think this is a likely 0pts game. We have to beat Southampton - the nightmare scenario is a Wolves esque 1-1. We’re also going to need an away win and Brentford or Palace looks the main chances.

I think our goal difference means that 5pts won’t be enough for us - we need 36pts.

I wouldnt rule Everton out at all, only 2 points behind us with a better run in I'd say. I would like to see them go though, I think the club needs a reset and a reality check. A bit of a humbling would do the fans the world of good I think.

Interesting to note that we are the only team playing away on the final day too.

I agree-I think Southampton are done with Everton joining them for a stint in the 2nd tier for the first time
in 69 years (I can’t see them getting more than 33/34 points).
I feel Leicester have an easier run-in than Forest and Leeds and will survive.
That leaves a dogfight between the Yorkshire Puddings and Forest-I think if Forest can match or better the Leeds result this weekend than the advantage swings in our favour (with the difficult looking Leeds
run-in going against them).If however,Leeds win at Bournemouth and Forest fail to get 3 points at
Brentford then we are back in serious trouble.
Incidentally-the bookies have Forest 8/11 and Leeds evens to be farting around at Preston next season.

I hope we’re not going into that Palace game needing something.
My pants won’t be able to take the load.
Our luck away from home has to change somewhere, some how. Starting against the gum chewing bell Thomas Frank and his XG darlings on Saturday. (We owe them one)
Beat them, going into Southampton knowing a win would more or less get us over the line.
A point against Chelsea then we can all get p***d up against Arsenal and watch Ateta have a mental breakdown when we’re singing Blue Moon for 90 minutes.
We’re stopping up baby girl 🕺

I don't see us picking up much more between now and the end. You'd hope for 3 points against Southampton but that's certainly not a given and then perhaps a point at Palace.

I can't see us getting anything against Chelsea, Arsenal or Brentford though.

What's key for me though is that I don't see Everton or Leeds winning many points at all. Especially Leeds who look terrible at the moment and have the toughest fixtures.

Did you see us picking up three points against Brighton? I never fancy us in the games we're supposed to win so have Southampton causing us a problem. My hope is that we pull off results in the other games, starting with three tomorrow.
