Yea but in reality 1 more win will be ample, I'd hope for a decent end to the season though, and maybe even climbing a place or two.
I think Fulham look a beaten side as well. I wouldn't be surprised to win at Craven Cottage.

Would be nice to get at least seven points to match previous totals.

As it stands, we now need thee wins and one draw to be mathematically safe :)
That's more like it :)

As it stands we need to be trying to win every game, and if we can't do that, at least play, or hold out for a draw

36 points will be enough I think.

Had to laugh when Sky commentator spoke about WBA reeling in Burnley at 0-0. They won't even reel in Fulham.

Yes 40 points is a realistic aim I'd say, and 2 wins and a draw shouldn't be beyond us out of the last 6 games.

It's an amazing stat that West Brom are unbeaten against both Chelsea and Man City this season, 1 win and 3 draws in those fixtures. :?

Not quite. City won 5-0 at WBA in January.

Still a very good return from those games though. They certainly haven't turned up today mind, surprising after their recent results.

Bartley just yellow carded. Didn’t think it was anything but if it was a foul and a card then it should have been red.

I’ve just posted, if it’s a card (and I don’t think it’s even a yellow) then it’s denied a goalscoring opportunity so has to be red.

didn't think it was a foul, but to give him a red, no, not in the context of this game.

:oops: forgot about that, but yes West Brom have picked points up against the top sides which belies their beleaguered position in the table.

And after the 2 wins and 8 goals from the Chelsea and Saints games you'd have thought they'd have had a bounce about them but they've been lethargic the whole bar the first couple of minutes.

It's not the defeat tonight that will hurt BFS it's the manner of their performance, they've offered nothing since the opening few minutes and that Diagne chance now if that had gone in who knows, but it didn't and once Leicester opened the scoring there's only been one winner.

And even better Chelsea, Liverpool & Spurs suffer a major blow to their CL hopes, what a shame that would be if they all missed out after the shenanigans of the past week. I'd laugh my head off in that scenario.

All over 3-0 Leicester, at least West Brom drew the 2nd half.

West Brom magic number down to 10 or realistically 9 if you look at goal difference. Let’s just go and beat Wolves and not worry about the rest

Fulham is now the earliest game we can ensure our survival.
