[Archived] The Relegation Battle Aftermath

They way WHU are defending I wouldn't be 100% confident of that not happening in the second half. Wigan have missed some absolute sitters.

I know Kamy. Wham need a third.

[Paul]

So, we have a reasonable idea of what's needed next wekk.

Assuming that Wigan don't score three goals today, then Blackpool not winning at OT, or rovers getting a point at Wolves will see us safe.

I feel very uncomfortable about the idea of going to Wolves to get a draw. Do we really see Rovers playing for a draw without conceding?

We're not good enough to go for a draw Paul. We have to go and play 4-5-1 but be positive and go all out for the win.

Let's be honest either way you would rather be us than Blackpool or Wigan even if they win today, both of those teams actually need something to survive, we can get beat and still survive whereas they have no margin for error.

If we both need a draw then I wouldn't mind 90 minutes like the last 10 yesterday

Or if the score stays the same at Brum, Brum not winning at Spurs next week.

It would be lovely to see Blackpool stay up.

As for the comments about chasing the game yesterday, it's all right being wise with the benefit of hindsight but it's a case of "There but for the grace of God etc"

Doubt even Mercerman could find the negatives from those HT scores.

Come on!

The positive for WHU is that they have the likes of Parker, Upson and Cole on the bench and Wigan have also been all over the place at the back on the limited times that WHU have put any pressure on them.

I nervous half ahead for all concerned I suspect.

[Iceman]

are they now showing the Wigan vs West Ham game? I'm watching it on TV, but not sure if its from Sky.

and to make it worse, she just saw my post about it on here.

Exactly how I see it. We have to go for a win and settle for a draw.

:lol:

I did that the other week , the potatoes literaly mashed themselves.

[bigbrandjohn]

Arsenal 0-2 half time. talking about odds, what odds of at least one or two of our ten million quid defenders playing for the Whinger next year.

[Roverdale]

Bobby Zamora is having a stinker!! Cannot believe B'ham are still only 1-0 down!!

Edit: Take that back haha 2-0

[Lathund]

If the scores stay this way then at least I will be feeling confident, because it means that there is only one scenario that would see us relegated.

Wolves beat us

Blackpool win at Old Trafford

Birmingham win at White Hart Lane

And that's it (Short of us losing by 7, in which case both Birmingham and Blackpool get past us with draws). If any of those things don't happen, we're safe.

Now, let's hope the games finish the way they are now...

[Beta Ray Bill]

Fulham should have finished it!

Not as mashed as I'm about to be.

[Nelsta]

brum 0 - 2 fulham

[Beta Ray Bill]

And they probably have!

[Kamy100]

Fulham 2up!

[Tom]

You can see whats coming at St Andrews, Fulham apparently missing chance after chance, only a matter of time till Brum equalise, bet it's bloody Derbyshire as well

EDIT See whatever Mercerman can do I can do better!

[Nelsta]

I'm starting to think west ham will stay up.
