The last ten seasons only one side has gone down with 40 points or more (West Ham), and the average points the third from bottom club has picked up is 34.

Danny Simpson: "If we play like we did on Sunday and show that type of commitment we have a good chanceof a European place.
"We've had lads missing and the ones who have came in have done a very good job.
"Look at us as a squad and I think we could.
"We'll take it game by game. You know what this league is like, you have to take it one game at a time. It's so tight.
"We just have to build on what we have up until the end of the season. Hopefully we'll finish as high as we can."
