We should look to go undefeated until the end of the season, that will be enough i think, we are capable of doing it.
On Saturday, we will be expected to lose against Barnsley, Rotherham host Birmingham whose away form is still poor and Derby go to Blackburn who haven't won at home since January, Huddersfield travel to Forest which looks tougher but I could see them boring out a 0-0.
By Sunday evening it's not inconceivable that we will be back to 21st, 3 points ahead of Rotherham with their 2 games in hand. Yesterday was massive but there will still be twists and turns in this yet I feel.
I think we will still go down, what do you think? The manager just isn't up to the level.Plenty of football left to be played with more twists and turns to come these things usually end up going into that last day

Ah yeah, I'd put Saturday in the first part and then correctly Sunday in the second paragraph! But the point is still the same, so enjoy the rest of your Thursday Mr Pedantic.I can say with a high degree of confidence that we won't lose on Saturday, nor will Rotherham win.
Stick me on ignore then fellaI think you need some new material

Our worst five-game spell this season saw us get two points (Jan 30-Feb 17). Repeat that now, and that would require Rotherham to pick up eight from their last seven, which they've done several times this season. I think we'll be fine, but we're definitely not safe yet.
I don't think we are safe but also wouldn't be remotely surprised if 45 points is enough to stay up. As soon as we get to 50 I will feel it's done. I think it is extremely unlikely that all of Blues, Huddersfield, Derby and Rotherham reach 50 points. At this stage of the season anything can happen. Rotherham beat Blues and we lose to Barnsley and we're as in it as we have ever been. That said, Rotherham have averaged 1 point per game for 39 games this season, it's unlikely that they are going to significantly improve that in the remaining 7 games especially with some very tough fixtures. Our survival bizarrely could in theory hinge on Blackburn's form. They face Derby, Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield, Rotherham and Blues in their remaining five games.
I was really shocked by just how many of the teams left in it play each other. Obviously that could work two ways, as they are easier fixtures and someone is definitely getting points, but it also means that the total limit all those teams can reach is much lower.In the space of a week Barnsley have us, Huddersfield and Rotherham. Agent @Barnsley working his magic hopefully.

I am including up to Preston in the scrap although they are probably safe. The fixtures remaining are:
Blackburn v Derby
Rotherham v Blues
Sheffield Wednesday v Blackburn
Derby v Preston
Derby v Blues
Huddersfield v Blackburn
Coventry v Preston
Rotherham v Blackburn
Huddersfield v Coventry
Derby v Sheffield Wednesday
Blackburn v Birmingham
Not safe yet. If Rotherham win games I hand we r what 2 pts off relegation zone?
1 more win I think will do it
52 points.After yesterdays huge 6 pointer, do you see us safe in your eyes? If not, what do you think we still need?
Even one makes it uncomfortableRotherham's games in hand are at Brentford and Luton to be fair, all credit to them if they win both.
Even one makes it uncomfortable
And We beat Brentford too
