Sunderland at home is our best chance of another valuable 3 points

I'd actually argue more for Ipswich being the easiest 3 points, they have nothing to play for, seem to be going through the motions and obviously already know McCarthy is leaving at the end of the season.

[LUX]

Weds, Ipswich and Sunderland are all very winnable.

lots of twists and turns to come I reckon. Sunderland will not be easy, their last two away results have been pretty impressive.

OTOH, I am sticking a tenner on us to win at Fulham

We could do with Barnsley going on a bad run, obviously. Or Bolton.

I'd probably agree with that argument. The Sunderland game should be a good'un as it might be the very last roll of the dice for them.

[LUX]

another consideration is that pretty soon the top two will be settled and they might relax, ditto the likes of Fulham who could be guaranteed the play offs. That will affect how they play in their last game v Brum, for example (ditto Cardiff v us)

[Hound]

Tuesday is also very big - think both Bolton and Barnsley will lose those games. If so, then a win for us on saturday and I’ll relax a fair bit

[Stranded]

Just done the predictor as had a few mins to kill. Feel like I may have overestimated Barnsley and have us winning both home games and drawing at Wednesday.

Only have Brum drawing 2 of their last 5 and dropping as a result. If the below pans out though then we are already safe unless our GD plummets.

18 Hull 50
19 Reading 49
20 Barnsley 46
21 Bolton 44
22 Birmingham 42
23 Sunderland 35
24 Burton Albion 32

I've done the predictor again, originally posted in this thread

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=142570&p=4592618&hilit=predictor#p4592618

These were what I had last month;

19 Reading 45
20 Hull 42
21 Birmingham 41
-----------------------------
22 Barnsley 38
23 Sunderland 34
24 Burton 33

---------------------------------------------------------------

Just done it again and come up with this, I've given us a draw against Sunderland, a win against Ipswich and defeats in all our remaining away games.

19 Reading 46
20 Bolton 45
21 Birmingham 42
-------------------------------
22 Barnsley 42
23 Burton Albion 36
24 Sunderland 36

Agree with you both. I think there's also a very good chance of picking up six points from these two games.

Being a tad pedantic, but as their arguments are opposing, it's impossible for you to agree with both.

Let me rephrase for your delicate sensibilities. I can see the merits in both poss. Is that better sweetheart?

Much, thank you. x

[Mid Sussex Royal]

If after tomorrow we are in a similar position to now we are probably nearly there with the three games we have following this.

Can easily see Birmingham or Bolton going down now.

After our win at the weekend I think this thread can be closed now. Cheers

Sadly you're just as wrong as when you banged on about us not being in a relegation battle.

You're a good man but you're not a realist.

We'll be fine and deep down you know we will be.

The not-all-unlikely scenario of us losing tonight, and Barnsley winning at an Ipswich who have nothing to play for, means the gap will be two points with a game in hand in their favour.

It's not over by any stretch.

That's fine but what about Birmingham and Bolton? (By the way this is the same argument I've been having all season and it's so tiresome).

There's more chance of City going through tonight that us going down

There's a difference between thinking we will stay up, and acknowledging the fact that we are still in danger. You seem to confuse the two, that's why people keep having this argument with you.

[Coppells Lost Coat]

Even though, I do believe we will be just ok and just avoid relegation. I also acknowledge that relegation is not out of the question. Relying on other teams losing is also very foolish.
The relegation battle is still on going, however we have the upper hand.
