The Relegation Dogfight 23/24

Fair play to Burnley if they stay up given their finish with Newcastle, Spurs and us to come. I just can't see them doing it somehow.

It's in our own hands now. A point tomorrow would be lovely but is not essential. Which, when you think of it, is a bit of a luxury. We're in free hit territory.

That could have been a lot bloody worst than what it was. Burnley were the better team in that 2nd half against United. Wolves should have had 5 yet ended up hanging on.

On paper Burnleys two games before us are tough but Newcastle away from home aren't any great shakes. Tottenham you'd hope/expect to give it to them.
Luton look, well like Luton. A team who somehow manage to stay in games they have no right to be in (barring Brentford). I've no idea how they will do against Everton, West Ham and Fulham.

Burnley are the better team with momentum (1 defeat in 8 now is it?). They have pace and seem to have found some organisation at the back.

Man United are terrible and have been for weeks. I don't see Burnley getting anything from an in form Newcastle or a trip to Spurs fighting for top 4. For us everything rides on Bramble Lane. Again. Win there and we're staying up.
I reckon 30 points (a win and a draw) gives us a good chance.
Even a point back from the appeal would be massive now.

If we can beat that shower at Bramall Lane to send them down and keep us up that will go some way to making up for that playoff semi-final defeat

The Burnley result is definitely a fly in the ointment, but Luton losing is at least a bit of relief.

Burnley's form though is pretty good for a relegation battling side. 2 Wins, 5 draws, and only 1 defeat in the last 8.....11 pts from 24.

That's worrying. Proper feel like that last day is gonna be huge.
