I don't have any doubts that we'll do anything but win on Saturday...

our home form in 2014 is going to be the sole reason we stay up (just).

At this time of the season, having points on the board rather than games in hand is all the more significant. Yes there are cases where teams have thrived on pressure and gone on a stupendous run in the last half dozen games to avoid relegation, but it's the exception rather than the rule. I'd be more worried if we were 17th right now.. with no margin for error. I think Fulham are as good as gone already. Cardiff are near enough gone. So there's a scrap to avoid that last place. I still think it'll be Sunderland who go. Yes, games in hand... but like last season with Wigan, it's going to catch up with them in the end. Pressure. Pressure. Pressure.

Saturday, all the pressure will be on WBA to win... nothing less than 3 points will do for them. They have a real fragility which has been the hallmark of their season, and why they will be teetering on the brink right up to the last day.

        Points on the board are only relevant if you have similar run ins (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 31, 11:02:17
