Re: one more win
I think we may need more than one more win. 2 wins would more than likely almost certainly do it but possibly one win and one draw might suffice. 4 more points would take us to 38 which means Everton would need 9 more points and turn round the goal difference. Whatever we're in with a fighting chance.

Re: Will our experience be the difference

Re: Well it's now or never
It's still al to play for but I think we'll need at least 11 or 12 points
to stand a chance.
So that's 4 wins or not far off.
Still can't discount Watford and both we and Everton have still to go there.
But game by game is the only mantra. Win by win.
