ScottishRed Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Probably 50 points will not be enough. My guess is 53 but even then...... Monday is crucial, Blackburn will believe after today and we could really do with beating them. My guess is that Forrest and Birmingham will finish below us, don't know in which order , but one of them could be in Div 1 next year. Don't discount Wigan escaping - Thursday's result will give them a real boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not all about Mondays results, things could look very different next Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need a win from any of the last 4 to be safe and i reckon that'll come against Barnsley. Hope you're right but worth pointing out that Barnsley have an excellent away record (5th best in division) and will have some added motivation to put one over LJ.

LJ might not be the greatest of managers, but he has one massive positive over DC. LJ will never ever be the man in charge when we are relegated out of the entire Football League. However well DC has done or will do, he's always going to be the man that took the 15ers into the Conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd rather be battling two teams within two results of taking over us than one team who'd potentially require three results to overtake us? Doesn't make much sense to me. Understand if you wanna finish as high as possible but 21st will do just fine now. Time for finishing as high as possible has long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be hard games, but it could come down to how the table splits. For instance, Burton play Reading last day. If Reading need something to secure a Play off sure it will be tough. If they have nothing to play for, then they could be resting a whole pile before the play offs. It is in the lap of the gods, but would prefer the play offs to be competitive until the end.

He didn't tinker with the team at Brentford and look what happened there. There are different requirements away from home so some changes may be needed. Plus a draw would do us whereas at recent home games we've needed to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much when it got to the last twenty yesterday Forest were thinking 'yea, actually a draw is ok' and then ended up losing. Bottom line, I worry if we go out for the draw, but if it is level with not long to go then almost impossible to stop players playing for it.

Not been able to do it all season so not the tine to try at Blackbum. Our away record this season says we lose the game anyway so lets just go for it and hope for the best. We are in a good position and have two winnable home games coming up so no need to panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa_bcfc Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 If none of the players are injured keep the same starting 11 as yesterday and go for the win.

GoodridgeandGoater Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Realistically we need 4 more points to stay up, I.e. 51. 50 could do it with our goal difference, I.e. one win but not one is want to test. Monday is really a 'don't lose'. If we do lose It puts a lot of pressure to win the Barnsley game, as Brighton away we don't want to be needing anything. In spite of recent good form we've not been reliable over a period of games since before October. If we did lose on Monday I can see us going into Brum game needing to get a result. That said - overall confident that through the 4 games we'll get what we need. Just maybe not in the way we expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
