OMG BRISTOL CITY I LOVE YOU!

[duckson]

Bristol City equalise at the death. Good!

[rovers11]

I love Bristol City😂

[West Yorks Rover]

Bristol equalise 1-1

Hudds back in bottom 3.

[rovers11]

That's huge for us that goal. Turned a very bad set of results into good ones. 

Sheff W and Hudds have a very tough task to overtake us now

They're jammy buggers, been outplayed today. But glad the got a point.

[Ianrally]

I’d rather big club went down though. 

[yellowsubmarine]

I want Hudds and Sorba to go down.

[Tom]

Win next week and we are safe mathematically 

Wednesday wouldn’t be able to overtake us and only one of Brum or Hudds could with them playing each other

Aye and I actually thought they might sneak a play off place. Shame 😐

[rovers11]

A terrible day for QPR. I'd be getting very concerned if I was them.

We prob have done enough now but 1 more point at least would be nice. We're decent at home under Eustace - only losing to Ipswich - so I'd expect us to get a point in one of the next 2 home games.

[bboy]

I believe because Brum and Huddersfield play each other, then beat Wednesday and we are mathematically safe?

[RoverDom]

Sheff Weds 5 points behind us, effectively 6 with goal difference. Huddersfield 5 points behind. All with 3 games to go. You'd THINK we're home and dry now but then you'd also have thought we'd getting something at Bristol and then get pasted by Leeds. 

I feel at ease now. We won't lose all 3 of the last games which leaves Huddersfield and Sheff Weds and others needing 3 belting results.

Sickeningly, I actually think I’m going to have to cheer on bloody Russell Martin. As it’ll be so so so sweet to see both Leicester AND Leeds somehow miss out on automatic promotion!

Exactly, and that’s not even taking account of Brum, Stoke, QPR, Plymouth who are also all below us and worse GD bar Plymouth. We’re safe and we can get back to seething about shambolic transfer windows and how little we’ll invest in the summer!

I’d hesitate to go that far just yet.

A few of the teams beneath us have winnable fixtures next Saturday.

Undoubtedly, our position now looks a good deal healthier.

It would be even better if Leicester come to Ewood having missed automatic promotion, so that would probably mean they would rest players with the play offs in mind.

25/1 with bookmakers, and they’ll have plenty of juice in that. True price probably 100/1 relegation. 1% chance of happening. We’re safe.

I think that’s away at Leicester. Be great to beat them and make them miss out on automatics…..considering they’re allowed to get away with no deductions this year despite the biggest FFP cheating we’ve ever seen, it’s the least we could do for the footballing world 🙂

Of course it’s at their place, my mistake.

The way Leeds, Leicester and Ipswich are shaping, you could see Southampton scraping into the top 2.  There's no doubt if the Saints 'hit their straps', they could win their remaining games which might just be enough.

At the bottom, think Rovers will do only what Rovers can do!  Think SW will be too physically strong and intense meaning we need at least a point from the Coventry game to avoid going to Leicester with the risk of the trap door still opening.  On paper, we beat Coventry as looks like they will be on the beach, sadly, as we saw today, games aren't won and lost on paper!
