Huddersfield, Wednesday and brum have a grim looking run inHad a look around after today's game to see if I could find the relegation contenders' fixtures in one place but couldn't so I've just knocked this together. I've disregarded Wycombe and was tempted to do the same with Wednesday but left them in. Blues have got a tough run coming up playing the teams currently second to fifth while Huddersfield have Brentford, Norwich and Bournemouth in the space of four games with a big one v Rotherham thrown in. Hopefully adds to the optimism after today.

Huddersfield, Wednesday and brum have a grim looking run in
Even Derby have it tough
I'm actually backing Rotherham to stay up here and blues to go down with Wednesday
Sticking my neck out we will finish 18th
Thinking about attendance at the Ricoh next season - blues would be a bad one to loose..
So Wycombe- sheff wed - Rotherham to go down
Big problem for Rotherham though, is that they are playing 2 games a week (pretty much) until the end of the season...injuries could still wreck them.Like above, I think Rotheram have a very decent run in, so I’m predicting they will stay up.
Talking of attendances, Gain;
Sheff United, Fulham/Newcastle, Baggies.
Are we thinking another 13 points does itHonestly there's just no way we are going down this season not concerned after today in the slightest. I think we we should and will pull clear of the relegation dogfight. That is partly looking at the fixtures we have left compared to our rivals.
To not pick up another 13 points from those games we would have to have some absolute stinkers!

That being said, i do think they have been, and are a better team than Brum, who are my favourites for the 3rd relegation spot.
We win on Saturday and Wednesday and Birmingham both lose, I think we are safe. Obviously need a fair few points after that, but I think the gap will be too wide to make up.I think if we manage to get a win against Rotherham.. That's 9 points clear from them and still at worst 10 points clear of Wednesday... If blues lose its 6 points on them and they are coming into a horrible run of fixtures after that
Win Saturday, and relegation is extremely unlikely

Sorry, I missed that one as it wasn’t on the fixture list! Will edit the original post.Rotherham also have Luton to play, I can’t see where they are going to squeeze that one in?
Oddly enough Wednesday's doen't look too bad, but Birmingham and Huddersfield have absolute stinkers. Nick 3 points next saturday and it would help. I see us getting 48 points so it will be tight. A couple of games that looked good bets earlier in the season look at lot tougher on the basis of current form - Barnsley, Luton and even Millwall (whom incidentally we defeated on the last day of the season 3-1 to become champions of Division 2 in 1967)Had a look around after today's game to see if I could find the relegation contenders' fixtures in one place but couldn't so I've just knocked this together.

Looking at that you’d have to consider we are in good stead. I struggle to see many of those other teams picking up more than 12 points before the end of the year.Had a look around after today's game to see if I could find the relegation contenders' fixtures in one place but couldn't so I've just knocked this together.

I’m confident we’ll be okay can’t see Sheffield pulling seven points back they are in very poor form at the moment, for me third spot is between Brum & Rotherham who might have games in hand but winning them is a different matter draws aren’t a lot of good when you are running out of games. Crucially Birmingham & Rotherham play each other mid April and both play Cardiff last couple of weeks of the season Blues first and Rotherham the last weekend can’t get much worse than that.
Twitchy bum time then.
Lovely. Thank you.
I think they will get 36I thin Rotherham will get another 13 points
12 wins?I think they will get 36
