[Archived] Relegation Watch

[BRFC1995]

Just done the BBC predictor

4 home wins for Rovers plus away at Stoke and a home draw. Optimistic I know....

Here's my final table.

overly generous to ourselves i think although i did have the same 3 teams relegated, it required us to win our final game to be sure

gonna have to redo my predictor factoring in how garbage villa have become since they signed heskey, may not only be spuds that benefit amongst the teams around us. last thing we need is the top teams going to pieces on the run in

[roversmum]

Spurs winning one-nil against Villa. Our match against them may not be as easy as some think (although the goal was somewhat due to a Brad special!)

Agree. Spurs team has a lot of pace and this year Rovers have really struggled against pacey teams.

[Eddie]

You mean Spurs game might be tougher than Fulham?

[1864roverite]

Spuds comforatable at 2-0 up. Poor Villa effort. Spurs look to use Lennon every time down the right.

Gaylord Bentley benched again.

[jonv]

2-1 - Carew with a towering header!

(2 more in 5 minutes to keep my accumulator alive )

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

If Villa can equalise or even win this, it'd be giving us so much help.

[1864roverite]

Spurs win 2-1 now look safe

[jonv]

Why do I really, really dislike Spurs

[BRFC1995]

they're some f'ing useless that villa, dreams of spuds in championship dashed. Villa bought heskey changed their winning approach to accomodate that lump and now they are cack and they play all our relegation rivals, wonderful.

[Bobby G]

Spurs safe surely. Matter of time.

[SoccerHQ]

Think Sunderland could be the team to be from a bit higher up to be sucked into the battle looking at their remaining. Poor effort losing at home ot a Wigan team already on holiday.

Boro, Newcastle and WBA still the three to go down for me, seen nothing this weekend to change that view.

[DE.]

Newcastle, Boro, WBA looks like the best bet to fall out of the Premiership at this time. Everybody from 11th - 20th is still in it, but realistically, I see it as WBA already being down, with a selection of Boro, Newcastle, Pompey, Rovers, Stoke and Hull to get relegated with them. It will be an interesting end to the season to say the least.

[bazza]

I've been saying since January that the three who came up will go down. That was after Hull had started their bad run but were still way up in the top half of the table.

Newcastle look favourites to upset my prediction yet I still maintain it'll be WBA, Stoke C, and Hull C.

[Hughesy]

Iv re-done the predictor - tried to be really harsh on us and still got us ending on 42 points in 13th.

West Brom and Boro down with games to spare - final day battle between Stoke, Hull & Newcastle. I had stoke losing out.

[DE.]

Being harsh I had us 15th/16th. We'd have to lose a lot of winnable games at this point to go down (that, or 3 or 4 teams below us all have to hit an amazing run of form).

I doubt you are being harsh if the likes of RSC, Grella, Givet and Warnock are out for any thength of time.

[USABlue]

We'd have to lose a lot of winnable games at this point to go down

This is Blackburn Rovers, we are more than capable of doing that.

[OscarRaven]

Danger zone =<30.5pts

Rovers on 30pts are back in the danger zone!

3pts needed to get out, a draw isn't enough.

[Billy Castell]

Spurs are safe I think. It seems to be that you can draw a name out of the hat to decide who goes down with West Brom. As soon as one team looks safe, they drop points and get sucked back in. It will go down the the last game, and 3-5 teams will be sweating on two places.

[SoccerHQ]

3 home wins out of five needed for Rovers.

No problem.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Our home form is terrible, think it's the crap atmosphere and eagerness to jump on the players backs that causes it. They are too frightened of making mistakes and hearing predictable groans and jeers.

[RevidgeBlue]

You obviously haven't seen many of our home games then.

I think having no midfield is a rather more telling factor.

[Hughesy]

To be fair under Allardyce we have only lost to Villa at home. Im hoping we can win at least 1 of our next 2 at home. 4pts is a minimum needed.

West Brom look doomed after tonight - just cant win, not even at home.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

I think having no midfield is a rather more telling factor.

Riiight. And we suddenly have a midfield away from home, do we?
