[Archived] Will 45pts save us.

[Tom]

So vital that we have had a good run or we would be long gone but typically most teams around us are doing the same.

Not a chance bristol city or wigan will get to 54 points

Might have to rethink this

[47er]

If they'd only got round to sacking Coyle a few weeks earlier we would be safe now.

[blueboy3333]

Dreadful result tonight which puts the pressure back on us...but a win for us tomorrow and for the 1st time Brum and Ipswich could also be under real pressure. Whatever happens this will go to the wire.

Just played through to the end of the season with

And had us staying up on 52, with Bristol (City) & Forest also avoiding drop on 51 and 50 respectively.    Burton (49), Wigan (48) and Rotherham (23)  down.

51 points minimum

Based on continuing the points per game that Mowbray has achieved so far at 1.66 and Ive rounded down 

[dingles staying down 4ever]

But surely can't go on a 15 match unbeaten run from when Mowbray took over til the end of the season. 

[AllRoverAsia]

No indeed there will be a loss or 2 but also the odd unexpected win and those are always somewhere in this league.

My prediction is 14 more points but no idea from which games. 

[duggy9197]

like it ARA im very confident we can survive,every week teams are winning who we expect to lose,im certian fans of other clubs thought we would get nothing from our last two games.Forward and Upwards

[JonnyP]

I'd really lik a win, picking up the odd point here n there is grand, but nothing lik 3 points in the bag. Preston are beatable n we are arguably in better form. That result last night shows that any game in this league is for the taking. We beat Newcastle home n away this season with a @#/? manager we should be thinking these nobbers are a walk over. 

Come on Rovers!

[MarkBRFC]

I think the only thing for certain is we'll need something on the last day.

[Giant]

One thing to think about is that teams that have already qualified for the play offs by the time the last couple of games come around are likely to be playing weakened teams to rest players. Relegation threatened clubs that are playing them may get an easier game as a result.

[Tom]

We're gone!

chance today to go into the break outside of the bottom 3 and we blew it and now face two of the best teams in the league away whilst already in the drop zone.

So I presume you thought we where gone before we played norwich?As I'm sure I read you predicted losses in both those games?I thought we would pick up  no points in both those games and win  today.Yes you are correct our next two games are tough but Burton are away to Huddersfield and Newcastle in their next two.We are a point from safety with 3 relegation rivals yet to play.I'm not as confident as mercer but still quite confident that we will stay up.

From children crying in despair to guaranteed relegation. It's been a drama-filled day for you.

[blueboy3333]

Hysterics aside, it's still all to play for.

Remaining fixtures for Burton look tough because everyone of those teams, except Barnsley/Villa,  will probably have something to play for.  

H'field (a) Newcastle (a) Villa (h) Ipswich (h) Birmingham (a) Leeds (h) Barnsley (a) Reading (h)

That could prove a costly defeat for them today.

Burton do look like they have it all to do - think they'll do well to reach 50 points given those games.

However, we are unbeaten in four against Huddersfield and Newcastle taking 8 points in the bargain so you can't right Burton off!

I think we will go into our last game of the season at Brentford with safety already guaranteed.  It will be one to enjoy and relax.

[philipl]

That 3-5 reverse for Burton after having been 3-1 up at home is probably a far bigger body blow than our last minute conceded equaliser.

I still fear we will be 4 points behind 21st when we are next at home but my W3 D4 L3 from the last 10 to get to 51 and probably safety is now W3 D2 L3 from the last 8. Getting 3 wins should be possible from the fixtures we have got coming up but for finger nail chewing time, they are going to have to come from the last 6 fixtures.... 

[Reedy You're A Star]

1 point separating 4 teams and lots of points to play for. We're unbeaten in 7, why all the drama? Could be worse, look at Wigan. Dread to think what the reaction will be when we inevitably lose one of our remaining games. Chins up, we're still in this fight!

Hope you're right but here's the deal: if you're wrong and we get relegated you promise to leave this forum forever.

Done deal and for good measure I'll make a sizeable donation to a charity.

I reserve the right to be hysterical in the heat of the moment after a gut wrenching loss.

One kid near me was inconsolable at full time and was quite sad to see.

Its a coping mechanism I would rather prepare for the worst whilst hoping for the best.
