If we lose on Saturday

[Spijed]

Will it be mass panic on here? Kaboom!

However, Palace play Boro, so some points will be dropped. Leicester are at home to Liverpool, Swansea away to Chelsea, Sunderland away to Everton.

In all likelihood we'll still have a very healthy lead over our relegation rivals.

So keep calm!

It would certainly be a concern if we can't even manage an away point against a team in the relegation zone.

[Lord Beamish]

What if we win?

[ClaretTony]

I think the only one anywhere near a panic button is you spijed

Not at all. I've been very confident of staying up for a few weeks now. Especially as we'll only need a few more points (no more than 6-7) to stay up.
In all likelihood it'll be 34-35 pts for safety anyway.

I just find it funny seeing the comments about Gray not being good enough, where are the goals or away points going to come from etc.

[MACCA]

We are safe IMO anyway.

It's just a case of how comfortable it ends up being I feel. A couple of defeats and it becomes sqeeky bum time, but I firmly beleive we have enough and done enough to survive.

A win or a couple of draws and we will all be sitting a lot more comfortable.
Someone said it's 2m per place you finish above 20th, so an extra couple of places higher would be a massive boost to the coffers.

They may be in the relegation zone, but they've improved significantly since the new manager came in.

[Quickenthetempo]

We are expected to lose according to the bookies anyhow, so it won't be that big a shock. Even though it's a game we have a good chance of winning and perhaps one of only a handful you could complain if we don't get anything from.

The two things that impress me most about Dyche
1. His ability not to panic and comeback from big setbacks.
2. His away record in general.

[Steve1956]

We got absolutely spanked there last season:( then we went on a magnificent run,I won't be to worried if we lose there on Saturday ...happy days

[ElectroClaret]

There are fainthearts on here who go into mass panic if we lose the toss.

[HiroshimaClaret]

I think the panic aspect will purely be down to our performance and results elsewhere. A loss would be VERY unfortunate of course but a narrow 1-0 or 2-1 loss coupled with dropped points by the likes of Palace, Leicester, Sunderland and Swansea would avert mass panic. IF however it`s a 3-0 loss, an insipid performance on the back of the awful Lincoln game AND let`s say Palace and Sunderland win, then the batphone will be reached for.

[minnieclaret]

We have had a blip, even in last seasons unbeaten run, every year around now under SD.
Injuries and suspensions seem to catch us out.
We have then come back to finish strongly. We could lose all 4 of the away games and we will still finish midtable.
0-2 on Saturday and the little minx will get them both.

[Deardeary]

Form says we will lose, if we do, it won't make a jot of difference. No panic here.

[CnBtruntru]

Don't Panic, 0-3 Clarets

[Wile E Coyote]

we will win at hull, and the fixtures you mentioned for the other teams will just ensure we open the points gap even further.

[Wile E Coyote]

i thought about the hull game whilst making some toast, no doubt in my mind now, three more points for us.

[LoveCurryPies]

Strong chins!!

Let's hope for a spirited performance and hopefully an away win and 3 points.

[PaintYorkClaretnBlue]

If we can widen the gap between us and the relegation zone to more points than there are games left it is job done as far as I'm concerned. That could happen on Saturday.

[box_of_frogs]

I can survive a loss, but not a capitulation like last weekend.

[BabylonClaret]

I can survive a loss, but not a capitulation like last weekend.

If you think it was a capitulation lastvweekend them I doubt very much you can survive the loss!!
