Zip Of course if we win on Monday and Rotherham don’t win we are safe 8)

You make it sound so easy.



This is feeling like a very long season. Have we been higher than 19th at any stage this season? It would be good going into the final game being relaxed in the knowledge we were safe. It’s not good for the heart.

Nope, highest has been 19th but we've been out of the bottom 3 since beating Blackburn.

There’s always this nagging thought that a couple of defeats in our last two games could see us down. It shouldn’t happen, but it definitely still could

From a neutral perspective looking at our recent results I don't think many people would bet on us going down.

Take a chill pill and get a early night mate, thinking of the worse case scenario isnt good for anyones health.
Of couse it could happen but even if Rotherham win their last 3 games we only need 4 points.

With every game the team does seem to be improving little by little. Draws at Norwich and Brizzle shouldn't be underestimated. None of the teams we are yet to play are going to be any better.

I noticed Jay Rodriques was missing from the WBA starting line up today, him and Gayle have 44 goals between them that can only be good news for Monday, they are almost certain of a play-off spot but not quite there yet.

I probably would have been pissing myself laughing and milking the Leeds result if it hadn't been Wigan.
Still all credit to them for that result.

With the goal difference if Rotherham lose we need a point and we’re basically safe.

Probably, but given they'd need to win two and us lose two, one heavy defeat and it could get really uncomfortably close.

Royal Rother

Zip Swansea were hanging on for dear life at the end.
Whatever happened to games finishing at 4:40pm? Those days are long gone
We definitely need something on Monday as Rotherham have Birmingham at home.

Assuming we don't screw our goal difference, a point more will see Rotherham needing to win two and draw one.

Surely, surely Rotherham can't win two out of three :shock:


Of course they will. They always do.


When have they? When it matters that is.

It’s not that they are likely to, but until they mathematically can’t catch us, will still be a little nervous

It’s sounds like they’ve played quite well recently as well - they won’t be too despondent yet

The way this run in is panning out so far, we will get beat by WBA and Rotherham will beat Birmingham!! Thus causing fellow Nobbers to go into meltdown mode and await the oncoming Apocalypse!!!!
Only for us to go and win at Boro the following week!!! :D

So depending on scores tomorrow, we could end up either in 17th place and safe or 21st and just 2pts from the drop. Crazy how this has bunched up.

My prediction, Rotherham and us will win. Wigan draw. Millwall, QPR & Brum lose.

We'll be 17th & 5pts clear of Rotherham & Millwall.

Rotherham have to at least win 2 basically, forget goal difference, they won't make that up in the games they have left.

Also, I'm not convinced their game tomorrow will be as straightforward as some are suggesting; Brum are useful and aren't quite on the beach yet...they will look at tomorrow as the game they can get fully safe.

I'm expecting a Rotherham win for similar reasons. They know they have to win 2 and realistically one has to be tomorrow. Failure to do so essentially ends it there.

Think they’ll be too desperate to win and screw it up. Brum are handy when they want to be. We’ll get a point and be safe
