rabidbee For the record, I’m no longer particularly concerned that we’ll go down (although….), I just enjoy a good countdown.
Five… four… three…

Mr Angry For the record, I am 100% certain that we are safe right now.
When the final games are played, I suspect that none of the bottom 4 will have 49 points or more.

WestYorksRoyal With rival watch this season pretty much over, I wonder who will be our main rivals next season.
I'm not expecting any teams to be as strong as this year's top 3, but I think there will be plenty in the mix. 2 of the 3 coming down will be teams who were competition in the Championship, while Rotherham know this level well. If P'Boro and Barnsley stay down, they will be towards the top, while Bolton will be favourites if they miss out this time. Wigan and Charlton will be higher, while Blackpool will get stronger. I don't expect Stevenage and Lincoln to repeat this season, but look out for Stockport as a surprise package; they're better prepared for this level than Hollywood FC. So there's 10 or so teams who will harbour ambitions of climbing out, of which we are one. But no obvious favourites unless Bolton stay down.

skipper I think Oxford will go up this year. They've clicked. And I'm frankly very happy that we're not playing them now. Though we have got better too... even so, they seem significantly better than they were earlier in the season.

I never want them in a higher division than us. This season is our low point in 25 years and their high point; we avoided defeat in both games, and now I want them to stay down so we can restore natural order next season.
However I will concede they're hitting form at the right time. If they beat Lincoln tomorrow that is 6th place basically sewn up, and then we're all supporting Bolton in the play-offs. Hopefully they lose Brannagan if they stay down - surely he can't belong in L1 much longer?

Silver Fox Who would support Bolton? That's madness!!!
Anyway, I'm gleaning from the posts so far that all the other 23 teams in the division will be our rivals next year?

Born after 1995 is my guess

rabidbee You can support Bolton against Oxford and then switch in the final. I want Bolton to go up and Derby to stay down, just for the lols.
