Mid Sussex Royal Hudds can't catch us now with away games V Sheff W & Millwall and home to West Brom


With those fixtures they won't catch us but they mathematically can.

Yep Hudders in trouble. They’ve some expensive players there as well - the likes of Pritchard and Mounie. Crap, but expensive.

Remaining games at the bottom of the championship

Barnsley

Blackburn (h)

Hull

Millwall (h)

Birmingham

Wigan

Barnsley (a)
Hull (h)

Personally think Barnsley and Hull are doomed while the other place will go to Luton or Huddersfield. Reckon Wigan will just survive despite a 12 point deduction. But of course things are bound to be different....

Based on those fixtures, Wigan will finish a minimum of 12pts clear of the bottom 3 and stay up, prob on GD.

Amazed that Luton are still in with a shout. They’ve been decent since the return (with one obvious exception) but were so poor before

tidus_mi2 I remember Gnaduillet giving us heaps of trouble in the cup game at the Madstad earlier in the season.

We've been linked with him ever since that game so I would assume this one has legs. He's a real handful at any level and has the kind of skillset I really like to see in a traditional striker. Would really like to see this happen.

windermereROYAL Would love to see Huddersfield go down if only to see that cocky git Schindler and their fans see what it`s like to be really pig sick.

Great post. One I fully agree with. The talk of a true supporter.

I bloody hope so. A striker with no legs wouldn't be much cop.

I guess it's redundant Now with us being safe but here's the current situation.

QPR have enough points, Birmingham probably do also.

Barnsley look fooked with their fixtures and Huddersfield have a tricky run in. Everyone else has winnable games against fellow strugglers. I'm edging towards 2 of Hull, Huddersfield, Wigan and Charlton to join Barnsley. I think Wigan can pick up 2 wins and survive but their situation really stirs up the pot. These midweek fixtures will be fascinating.

15 Wigan 54 -7
16 QPR. 52 -10
17 Birmingham. 49 -15
18 Middlesbrough. 47 -13
19 Huddersfield 47 -16
20 Charlton. 46 -11
21. Stoke. 46 -13
=======================
22 Hull. 45 -18
23 Luton. 44 -30
24. Barnsley. 43 - 21

Stoke v Birmingham

Reading v Middlesbrough
Wigan v Hull
Luton v QPR
Sheff Wed v Huddersfield


Birmingham v Charlton
Bristol City v Stoke

Leeds v Barnsley

Charlton v Wigan
Huddersfield v West Brom
Hull v Luton
Middlesbrough v Cardiff
Preston v Birmingham
QPR v Millwall
Stoke v Brentford

Barnsley v Nottm Forest

Birmingham v Derby
Brentford v Barnsley
Cardiff v Hull
Leeds v Charlton
Luton v Blackburn
Millwall v Huddersfield
Nottm Forest v Stoke
Sheffield Wed v Middlesbrough
West Brom v QPR
Wigan v Fulham

Fairly certain this is the first time anyone has ever said that in the history of earth.

Top versus bottom in the form table for the bottom 10.

Charlton v Wigan and Hull v Luton next Saturday are also 2 massive games. I think those 3 games will go a long way towards deciding who goes down

For all of Brentford’s quality and endeavour these past few weeks, it deserves to be Leeds and WBA up automatically as they’ve been the front runners throughout

Given no one seems to want 6th spot at the moment, you’d expect Brentford/Fulham to walk over them in the semis given both their recent form but then again this is the Championship, and anything can happen

Can all the people who were laughing at me for saying Leeds were far superior to West Brom now apologise? Do it now.

Agree, they are now second-best team in the league after Brentford

(Yes, I know the table)

Franchise FC My goodness - Luton and Huddersfield are really, really bad

How did we not beat Huddersfield ?


Lol. I was watching a bit of that and was in utter disbelief at how incredibly poor the game was. Also wondering how Huddersfield looked so much better against us.
