My opinion

We were decent till we got to the last quarter, thought Howson was poor, but may be just taking time to settle in, Ruddy was good (although I didn't see the goal so can't comment on it), When our midfield lost the ball they didn't try and win it back (I saw Howson do this on three occasions), We lost the ball too easily. But we lost away to Newcastle by one goal and had long periods where we outplayed them. All in all, can't complain too much.

But all the bottom 3 teams need to win 5 out of 9 to overtake us by one point (if we didn't get another point.) Looking at their run in. I can't see Wigan, Wolves and QPR winning more than 3 (And that being generous). Safety will be certain by middle April!
