The Relegation Thread

[Bigdoggsteel]

All depends on the Rotherham games this week. If they don't get 6 points, we will definitely be ok 

[JHRover]

There is no stat more damning of this manager and this season than the fact that Rotherham can overtake us by winning their games in hand.

Unlikely yes. But possible.

Pitiful

Three away wins in the championship tonight, will be a good start, to our journey to safety.

Shef Wed at home right now to Swansea. With us at there place next Tuesday I expect Tony Mowbray to be at Hillsborough now 🤔.

To be fair I doubt he’d be allowed? He can pay his tenner and watch it on iFollow 😂

Swans doing us a turn so far. 0-2

[Banzai]

I think it shows just how boring things have got that we are almost trying to make up some unlikely scenarios where we might still have something to play for at some point.

Can anyone remember a more boring recent season? It has been dead for a number of weeks already and there is literally nothing to look forward to and the football has mainly been atrocious.

I take your point but it didn't stop Moyes sat in stand at Brighton the other night. 

Mowbray doesn't have that hunger. 

[JHRover]

Rotherham turned it around, now 2-1 up. 

Panic stations.

No, he’s got his tape measure and theodolite out down at Brockhall!

Only 42% possession though. Heathens.

3-1 now 90 mins

QPR won on "expected goals" though, so Rotherham's 3 points don't count

[davulsukur]

Coventry at home on Thursday for them next.

Could easily be another 3 points.

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Rotherham have only got time for a quick nap before they play Cov on Thursday. If they win that we're officially in a relegation battle. 

Can Tony take us down twice?

If he does he’ll be in charge next season.

[JHRover]

That's an impressive win for Rotherham which shows they are well up for the battle. Before tonight they were in poor form and QPR decent, having only lost 1 in 11 or something like that away from home.

To fall behind and recover to a 3-1 win shows they have the fighting spirit. Their tails will now be up for a 6 pointer v Coventry on Thursday. 

This could go down to the wire and we certainly need another win or 3-4 draws yet. Huddersfield at home might be our saving grace as they are as bad as us right now. I wouldn't want to go to Rotherham needing anything in our final away game.

What a journey we are on eh.

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Brings Derby right back into it. They'll be up for it on Friday now you'd think. 

[Wovers]

Literally every game we have left is against teams below us, I don’t think we will have the fight to beat any of them. It’s ridiculous, we should be looking at the top 6 thinking 5 of them bottom 7 to play, rubbing our hands, but instead this.

And the all important Possession by 62% to 38%

I wonder if Warburton will claim a victory?

My thoughts exactly. I can't see our rubber dinghy men being up for the battle.
