by performances under old one. We have 26 points at this time, 50 is generally regarded as being the amount needed to ensure saftey. That means we need 24 more points ie. 8 wins. I can only find four more games that I would have said "we definately should win that" at the start of the season: QPR at home Colchester at home Hull City at home Leicester at home I'm reluctant to add any away matches to that list for obvious reasons but seeing as Colchester don't look like losing we could reasonably hope to beat Southend away. Regardless of manager we need some good performances to stay up and I wonder whether SD can deliver this with the current group of players.
