The good thing at the moment is that it's all in our own hands. It's up to us to get out of it, we don't have to (at the moment!) rely on other results. I've been confident for a while that we won't go down.

Means nothing mate. That's why bookies are a lot richer than you and I!

Yeah.
Just this is the reason for the confidence. TM was quoted as saying last night was the best performance since he's been here, so there is progression.
People are confident about our safety, because of the form and increase in level of performance. Plus the fact Crewe and Crawley aren't much kop.
By saying "oh well anything could happen" defeats the purpose of anyone giving their judgement/opinion on our chances of survival.

We won't go down, no more points in the last three games will still see us safe, their are way too many poor sides already below us.

Unlikely that we'll lose to both Crewe and Crawley. Our form is good under Mowbary. Agree that IF we did lose both it would be squeaky bum time. But we won't.

That would be good. And if Sunderland get relegated from the Prem (please!), then it will be our fault again !!!

I still think that we'll go to Crawley with a mathematical chance of relegation - but that it would take a remarkable set of results on the last day for it to happen, and therefore we'll end up safe.
Being Coventry we won't do this the easy way, we have to have something to worry about on the last day.
aaaah the good ol' days when every season was like that

Bristol now champions in all but name.
9 points clear with only Preston able to catch them and Preston are 9 points behind with 3 games left.
Preston would have to win all 3 games and Bristol lose all 3 games and there would have to be a big swing in goal difference too (Bristol +50, Preston +35).
Bristol ARE champions.

Wouldn't say no pressure, we're in a position now where a draw is a good result for us as it means Crewe can't finish ahead of us.
I think if Notts County and Leyton Orient lose Tuesday I will be declaring us safe, if one of them wins we probably need a point from Crewe match to confirm it.

They could of course pick up points, but I am certainly not expecting it, with County v Preston and Orient away at Rochdale. You also have to wonder just how much that 6-1 defeat may have taken out of Orient.

I'm not expecting it either, but it could happen. If they lose I'll be declaring safety.

If Orient manage to get the points they need out of Rochdale away and then Sheff Utd at home, and Swindon away, then I take my hat off to them and they deserve to stay up.
Yep like the one Germany put 7 past in the World Cup.

I was thinking more of Alan, when he played for us.

Port vale and scunthorpe would just need a point from 2 &3 games respectively.
Crawley just have to beat us.
Crewe beat us and and draw their other game.
And leyton orient or notts county win 2 from 4
I'm hoping we'll get at least another point but if we didn't not sure we've got enough already.

Why on earth didn't you post this before, you plum!!!
Would have stopped every argument dead in its tracks.

The assumption that everyone would agree on us being safe, was evidently mis-judged.

The only really undecided factor in the promotion stakes is the third place for auto promotion (and which affects just the one game, Notts vs Preston). The rest of the teams not in the relegation zone have nothing to play for. I think it could be therefore argued that we have the most difficult run-in.
