Brighton & Southampton still not out of it either

[Spijed]

And with Brighton to play Cardiff at home that could make our life a bit easier as well.

[TVC15]

Southampton’s last 2 games are West Ham and Huddersfield which makes them safe I think.
Brighton have some tough fixtures (city, Chelsea, Spurs, Wolves away) but they have Cardiff and Bournemouth to play at home.

[Aclaret]

Going to be an exciting end to the season alright.......hopefully it won't involve us.

[elwaclaret]

Think the 3 down there now look doomed, possibly Brighton with a bit of luck. Did not see us winning today. Hopefully that should give us the platform we need for another season now. Just hope we finally put relegation to bed asap now.

[Steve1956]

Praying Brighton go down horrible plastic club .

[jojomk1]

They still are above us and have games in hand
Would rather be in their position than ours
Cardiff will still be the deciding game, whatever happens to the rest of the teams

[jdrobbo]

Whilst we’re talking about trying to beat Cardiff, I’d the Bluebirds defeat Brighton, then they really could be in trouble!

[CombatClaret]

Not over by a long shot. Still glad to be looking down at Cardiff rather than the other way around
Quick glance at Cardiff forum, a few seeing the games against us and Brighton as a cup run. Lose either and their down.

Still they have Fulham away and Palace at home final day who could be on the beach.

[mdd2]

They only have 3 games at home, Chelsea, Liverpool and Palace and if they lose today-all games big ifs at this stage we just need to equal or better their results each Saturday if possible. And as Sean has pointed out 21 points from the last 13 games is a good return; just hoping we can get another 6 points soon to be sure

[alwaysaclaret]

Looked at both of their games a while back and thought Brighton could be in trouble, Southampton I always expected to be safe because of their run in, Brighton need to beat Cardiff as we do, although top teams will have a big say, as there is always a freak result here and their at this stage, but all things considered Brighton certainly not safe yet. Yesterday was huge for us, point next week and beat Cardiff and it's sealed for us I'd say but hey one game at a time.

[Tread Warily]

Cardiff has a new incentive,against us and Brighton.I'm growing my nails longer,so i have something to chew.

[IanMcL]

Brighton, as well as cup on the weekend, have Chelsea away, this Wednesday....weakened team?
Fall behind again, owing to cup.
Bournemouth home...poss 3 pts
Cardiff home...
Wolves away
Spurs away
Newcastle home
Arsenal away
Man City home

Oh dear them!

[Lancasterclaret]

Can I be honest here?

We don't want Cardiff to get the points versus anyone do we?

We beat them and they lose to Brighton, and they are down.

Which means we are not, and with a bit of time to spare.

Sure, we can wish Brighton down, but not so Cardiff stay in touch.

[boatshed bill]

The remaining relegation slot is between us and Cardiff, no other teams need to worry.

Depends on what Brighton and Southampton do with their game(s) in hand - lose them and they are in exactly the same sh*t as us, just 5 points clear with 6 to play!

[Bosscat]

Southampton are at home to Liverpool on Friday night.

If they lose, it gives our boys a boost going into Saturdays game.

There are going to be a lot of twists and turns before the end of the season....... exciting innit ....

[dougcollins]

I'd love to see Brighton go down (I still remember putting money in their bloody buckets) but so long as we stay up I don't give two shits who is below us.

[Chester Perry]

Brighton fans are in as much panic as many on here have been if their board is anything to go by - the threads after yester match ours against Leicester in vitriol for the manager

[Vegas Claret]

I'd prefer Brighton to drop as they will have a bigger budget in the summer than Cardiff

[bfcmik]

Cardiff's owner isn't skint either. Both clubs would have within a few million of us in prize money for this season and guaranteed income for 2019/2020 but with the advantage of owners with big wallets in shallow pockets and having long arms which is the opposite of our ownership and board.

[Foulthrow]

Brighton and Southampton get penalties. Us and Cardiff don’t. That’ll be worth another few points by the end of the season.

PS - I’d love to know where Palace would be without their penalties. Another one yesterday, given at a crucial time and fairly soft (I.e, we’d never get it)

[jurek]

We need to add ourselves to Brighton and Southampton still not out of it.

But I do think 3 possibly 4 more points for us will be enough.
Whereas Cardiff might need at least 8 possibly 9 or more points.

It shouldn't be beneath us to think we'll get those 3/4 points without
breaking into serious sweating.

Whereas Cardiff will struggle to get 8/9 points.

And Brighton could still be dragged down into it especially as they've got to play
7 times in April, twice a week.

It certainly is. And as daft as it sounds, id rather this than a boring 12th place finish. At least f we don't take the cups seriously that is!

Many see Newcastle with a better team & manager than us yet they are still only two points ahead of us.

Can't be that much better.

[Darnhill Claret]

Bet Brighton are wishing they’d dropped out of the cup earlier.

I bet they aren't.
