Last 15 seasons minimum number of points to stay up.

2018/19: 35
2017/18: 34
2016/17: 35
2015/16: 38
2014/15: 36
2013/14: 34
2012/13: 37
2011/12: 37
2010/11: 40
2009/10: 31
2008/09: 35
2007/08: 37
2006/07: 39
2005/06: 35
2004/05: 34

So unless it's going to be one of those seasons where 39+ points are needed to stay up (fingers crossed it's not), a couple of wins and a draw should be enough.
Massive win today (especially with other results going our way). One more win should do it. Maybe even a couple of draws.

I am now officially no longer nervous. We'd have to lose every single game for us to go down now. I reckon 37 points sees you stay up this season so one more win should do it. Time to focus on the cup!

4 points from the next 9 and we're safe
I'll Hazard a guess

To use a BGD inspired analogy, I'm not shitting my pants yet, but I'm touching cloth
To carry on this analogy. I've found a loo, but there's a queue. Should be fine but there's always that doubt. Depends as much on how others get on...

16/1 for us to get relegated. Worth a cheeky £100 punt? Will soothe the pain! <whistle> <urgh>

or should I put £100 on us finishing in the top half.. 10/1 <scratch>

Or do both, a long strangle option https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/strangle.asp

I'm not counting my chickens just yet. In 2014/15 we had 35 points after 27 games and almost blew it.

I don't think we're in danger of relegation, but no way are we getting 44 points <laugh>

It's in our own hands now, all we have to is beat Villa and West Ham at home and safety is assured! Actually feeling positive after Saturdays result although it was a bit too close for comfort.
