ollywhyte Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 This time next week we could confirm our championship status, win vs QPR with Blackburn losing away to Forest. Win at Ewood would keep us up! On the other hand we could be 2 points away from safety!! Defining week that will say a lot about LJ and his players. Who would have thought we could stay up with 3 games to go, quite feasible and we need to make sure we are up for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think Blackburn will indeed get relegated, but wouldn't it be nice if we did it to them? Can't remember the last time we relegated another team...

RUSSEL85 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 QPR are no mugs, I think we will draw our next two games and Forest will beat Blackburn which will leave us 5 clear with at least 9 better goal difference so in truth it would leave us 6 points clear with 9 to play for.

I think it may have been Brentford around '93, '94 ? A crazy game with loads of chances either end, Leroy Rosenior was still up front for us. Brentford took their full allocation at the Park End. They needed to win to stay up, but they didn't ! With regard to Blackburn; no axe to grind with them, but would love to send those Venky idiots down to L1 - no more than they deserve !!

QPR are a whopping two - two - wins better than us this season; this omnishambles of a season. Same goal difference, just two more wins. There is a bigger gap between us and Wigan, than us and QPR. Which makes us two wins shy of being "no mugs" then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Did we send Coventry down during our last stint in the Championship? For what its worth i don't get any satisfaction out it and i never join in the 'going down' chants. Being relegated is horrible, and the fans of said team know it. There's no hiding from it and all of us have been through it. It strikes me as just too mercenary,a bit like chant 'going bust' at a club, i just don't like it.

CrazyInWeston Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Quote In the 2011/12 season, second game from last, had we and Barnsley lost and Coventry actually won, Coventry could've stayed up providing we lost our last game and they won theirs. So I guess INDIRECTLY of course, we and Barnsely doomed Coventrys fate by winning our respective games instead... However doesnt help much as Coventry lost that game anyway vs Doncaster.

Maybe I didnt come across clearly enough "sigh", last 10 games in the form table I should have said. QPR are 8th (we are 16th), I think 8th falls under the "No Mugs" category.

They can relax, plus Holloway always like to beat us (understandably so) and Freeman might up his game some what. Not bigging them up at all, but I dont expect us to turn up and turn them over as easily as some expect. I might just be a pessimist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Relegating Spurs on that Tuesday night in the old Div 1 days was interesting to say the least! We did effectively relegate Blades once by beating them in the playoffs back when they included teams from the division above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
