Could be worse, from horses to snowmen?

Simon Grayson has been sacked from Huddersfield.

Haven't seen much of that deluded Hudds fan who reckoned they were going to get promoted on here recently, didn't someone have a bet on with him that we would finish above them?

Ben1142 if i remember correctly. i thought of him today when i heard the news, had a little chuckle to myself when i remembered that crap he was spouting

[Tom]

Aren't they above us at the moment?

Edit I see they are 4 points behind

[Ricky]

Palace agree a fee for nick Blackman. Wonder if we had a sell on few when he left for Sheffield united.

you think?

[Tom]

Not that's its not all academic anyway but Watford are leading

[chaddyrovers]

Blackman is playing for Sheff Utd today

[rovers11]

Interesting to see Wolves lost again today. They are in serious danger of going down. They were woeful a few weeks ago against us and appointed a terrible manager. Not a fan of Saunders at all.

[Ricky]

2 teams above us losing 2-0 tonight. Millwall and Watford both behind.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Yea came in here just then to post that.

People think 10 points is insurmountable but anyone can, and will, beat anyone else in this league.

We just have to make sure we beat our promotion rivals.

[Tom]

And the team beating Watford 2-0 is our opponents for Saturday, new manager in place it won't be a walkover

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Certainly not but games we need to be winning.

Anything less than 4 points from the next two and it's pretty much over imo.

[roversfan99]

I think it's irretrievable now, based on both our squad and position, but we should be able to beat Ipswich and Bristol City at home.

[longsiders1882]

Consistency is the key, especially at this point in the season. 10 points isn't insurmountable but it does require putting together a decent run of maybe 8 or 9 games with a high win percentage.

[rovers11]

Wolves only 2 points off the drop zone and Bolton are only 4. Bolton will be ok but I have a sneaking feeling Wolves are going o get relegated. Teams like Barnsley know how to get out of this position. Wolves just cant shrug off that losing mentality and have appointed a poor manager.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Barnsley, P'boro and H'field is my prediction.

[Clitherover]

I'd be stunned if Wolves went down even though they seem to have appointed a @#/? poor manager, they were favourites to win the league before the season started.

Cardiff have as good as won the league, Hull or Leicester for second and whoever the form team at the time is to win the playoffs (hopefully us)

Same as SIAH for relegation Huddersfield have been on a gradual slide and can see them going, would quite like them to anyway as their fans seem a bit gobby.

[longsiders1882]

I thought we'd struggle this season, maybe we would be in more trouble if Howe hadn't done us a favour.

Can't see Cardiff choking now so them and probably Leicester to go up, play offs are a lottery and not yet sure who'll be in there, someone will make a run yet, maybe Brighton.

I just can't see Wolves going so maybe Barnsley, Peterborough and Bristol City. Would love to see Bolton go but again can't see it, don't think those 3 I listed will have enough to drag themselves out of it. I am now confident we won't go down and who knows, Charlie is back and scoring again so maybe we can finish top 8.

Just read this on Bristol's forum.

Huddersfield are the team to watch... continuing their free fall. Brum hopefully will have 10 pts deducted and Posh.. well they WILL go down this season.. so there u have it..oh and not forgetting Florist.. also in free fall. You gorra larf.

Anyone shed any light on the Brum comment?

At a guess, potential administration. Isn't their owner having problems being able to make his finances available due to a criminal trial charged with money laundering.

Based on the last 10 years final standings in the championship - the max needed should be 75 points to get into the play-offs.

So basically 35 from 51pts available
