Re: Anyone still think we are relegation candidates?
Relegation Candidates is too strong but as I said on another thread.... There is the Leicester precedent. I think we would be unlucky to get dragged into it now but its far from beyond the realms of possibility. For what its worth I fancy Hull, Middlesbro and AN NOTHER to fall through the trap come ...

I still maintain that 35 points will keep you up. Swansea might have had a bit of a spurt since Clement took over, but the chances of it continuing indefinitely aren't that high.
