My biggest fear is how hard it is to watch the Championship from 🇦🇺. My family hasn’t lived in East London since my parents were young….

Potential 10 points if we show up

Those games against Fulham and Brighton look much harder now without our first choice fullbacks. The squad is threadbare and I would not feel confident backing us

I see 2, maybe 3 points.

Anything short of 6 points, including 3 vs. Forest, and we’re sunk.
I’m guessing 7 and hoping for 10.
12 is unimaginable.

Losing to wolves and Forrest is like a 6 point swing we can’t afford.

We need to win all 4 or at least 3 to stay up I think

I get the sentiment and I sort of agree in a way, losing all four would be a disaster.
But equally we have been in similar situations to this before, with similarly poor points totals by this point in the season, if not later, and we’ve still ended up safe, even comfortable. And this isn’t even years ago, but recent memory.
In 22/23 we were on 14 points by game week 18. By game week 24 we were 19th with only 6 more points out of a possible 18. We ended that season with 40 points, in safe 14th and won a trophy to boot.
In 06/07, we were on 17 points in game week 18 and only managed 3 additional points by 24. 6 games after that on game week 30 we looked all but relegated with only an additional 3 points. But we escaped and survived.
This isn’t even close to the worst points total for a team to escape relegation. Leicester were on 10 points in 14/15, rock bottom of the table in GW18 with 6 points between them and safety. By game week 30 they only managed 9 points. 9 points in 12 games, 7 points off safety. Yet they kept fighting, and in those last 8 games they picked up 22 points out of a possible 24.
We have not been relegated yet, these next four games won’t wholly define our season. Back the manager, back the team, they aren’t perfect, some aren’t even good, but they’re all we have for now and if we want any chance at staying up we have to believe, even with the tiniest of hopes, that we can fight our way out.
