We might actually draw our way to safety

Exactly.   Combined with limiting GD in losses.   This may be what Smith is banking on with his sacrificing of attack to tighten up the defense.

Why is it luck?

Those teams around us will start picking up points soon enough after today West Ham play Newcastle, Norwich, Watford, Man Utd, and Aston Villa, plenty of games they can get points from in those, they might even get a result today, with it being a derby.

Watford also have some winnable games coming up against Norwich, Newcastle and West ham.

In a normal season we would be cut off drift by now

We don’t know that for a fact though do we. We’ve been affected too. In a normal season we might have benefitted from Home advantage in the games since restart.

Would we?

The average points needed to survive is 36. 

I don't think we'd be dead and buried with 6 games to play.

In a normal season we actually wouldn't be cut adrift by now, teams in nineteenth, eighteenth place usually have around the same number of points that we have at the moment. In fact in some recent seasons our current points total would be enough to see us outside of the relegation zone at this stage.

That's because the teams near the bottom are all on bad run of form at the moment, but that hasn't been the case for the entire season.

Almiron taking the mick.

Bournemouth have nothing in central midfield. Lerma is just a hacker and people go on about Billing like he's the new Vieria. Reality is he's a box to box midfield that I don't think is as good as Luiz.
