[Archived] The Relegation Battle Aftermath

Good day for Rovers as things stand.

[Roversi]

4 points from our next 2 games will give us a hell of a shot, which will set us up with a win from either west ham or wolves for survival. our goal diffrence effectivly adds on an extra point. we must claim 6 points from our last 5 games to stand any chance. only negative thing is, results really have gone our way most weeks which will only make things harder to swallow if we go down. we will scrape it i think. COME ON ROVERS!!!!

Jeff Stelling just said that.

[beerwins]

That would be my choice as it stands now for the three to go down.

[Hughesy]

Liverpool 5 - lol!!! Would love to see BIG CLUB go down!

NEED SOUTHAMPTON to score to get me a 350/1 bet!!

[Clitherover]

Nah, i'd definitely have Man United in there.

I think if we could get a win in the next 2 games and avoid defeat at both West Ham and Wolves we'd survive.

Easier said than done though.

Get in Blackpool could only draw

Franco Di Santo with a goal

You lucky blighter!

[imy9]

Southampton scored!!

[DE.]

Drinks on Hughesy

[Tom]

It's always one team that let's my accumalators down, was United last week and Spurs this week. Couldn't care less though I'd rather have results go our way than the cash.

Hope you had at least a tenner on Hughesy

[sambo]

Shotgun a pint off Hughesy!

[Hughesy]

Just a fiver on this week...but still £1750 aint bad

Got another one that relies on Preston-millwall later, need both to score to get me a further £1750

[Clitherover]

Not bad for a fiver mate.

[Tom]

Not bad for a Saturday afternoon's work though eh.

Never had a punt of those certain teams to score markets.

[RevidgeBlue]

Fantastic set of results for us today.

Could be as little as 39 points will survive now I think.

A win from one of the remaining home games and avoiding defeat at both West Ham and Wolves will almost certainly be enough.

[Hughesy]

Never had a punt of those certain teams to score markets.

Goal rush bet @ Ladbrokes - set odds, 10 is 350/1, 9 is 175/1 (I think), 90/1 for 8 etc. Won 4 times so far this season.

Back on topic anyway....

Blackpools last 4.....Stoke (H), Spurs (A), Bolton (H), United (A) - CANT see much for them, think they are gone!

[Tom]

Next weeks fixtures:

Tuesday, 26 April 2011

Saturday, 30 April 2011

Blackburn v Bolton, 15:00

Blackpool v Stoke, 15:00

Again chances for teams below us to pick up wins, namely Wigan and Blackpool however if we do our bit we could be a lot more relaxed this time next week.

Over to you Rovers

[Kamy100]

Results today have been great thus far, just now need Chelsea to do the business and beat West Ham. Like Rev, I think 39 points may well be enough. Huge 7 days ahead for Rovers now, IF we can get 4 points then we will safe on the verge of safety. HUGE, HUGE 7 days ahead for Rovers.

[Rover & Out]

Blackpool:

Stoke (Home)

Tottenham (Away)

Bolton (Home)

Man Utd (Away)

West Ham:

Man City (Away)

Blackburn (Home)

Wigan (Away)

Sunderland (Home)

Wigan:

Everton (Home)

Villa (Away)

West Ham (Home)

Stoke (Away)

Wolves:

Birmingham (Away)

West Brom (Home)

Sunderland (Away)

Blackburn (Home)

Looking at those fixtures, it's impossible to call.

You'd hope that the title race goes down to the wire to make that Blackpool game worthwhile for United.

Wolves & West Ham games are huge and I think we'll need to win at least one of those to stay up.

[mode_m]

If Rovers can do as well against Man City as Wigan did today vs Tottenham I would very very happy.

[Bobby G]

So much pressure and intensity.

Anything can happen still.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

People keep talking about 4 points in the next 2 games, I don't agree. I think that anything from the Man City game is a bonus, the Bolton, West Ham and Wolves games are the matches which are going to make or break us. I'd be very happy with a point from City but the Bolton game is much more important and winnable.

I'd rather it was sown up in 2 weeks seeing as we have to play United in our last home game.

Avoiding defeat at Wolves and West Ham would be enough I think

ADB - every game should be a cup final now, the most important match is the next one
