The problem for them though, is that even at this stage the points needed from the remaining matches to stay up may be too much.
31 games left, possibly as much as 50 points needed to stay up. If they average 1.5 ppg from here on in (which is verging on play-off form) they will only finish on 54 points.
11 wins, 11, draws, and only 9 losses from the remaining 31 matches for them to stay up by the skin of their teeth on 52 points.
In short, they've virtually had it.
