22A Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 OK, two games tonight; I'm hoping Blackburn narrowly beat Burton whilst Wolves lose against Brum. Those two results would keep Blackburn below City (on goal difference) and keep Burton & Wolves just three points above City, both with worse GDs.

samo II Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hard ones to call. Could be advantageous if any of the sides win, for one reason or another. I actually think the OP is on to something though; as counterintuitive as it might seem, Burton's recent form is worryingly close to extracting them from the fray altogether, so slowing that is no bad thing. But anyone below us getting more points is definitely bad, so who knows? However, it's all academic if we can't start collecting points soon, something we seem unable to do.

Super Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 2 draws will do me. Certainly not a Blackburn win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I don't care about tonight's games because we're going down. The manager has totally lost the plot and the players have lost confidence in him. I go to games expecting us to lose so what's the point in worrying about how teams like Burton will be getting on tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Burton move clear, others will take their place. they are finding form now. I'd want them to win. No more points for those in the bottom 3 will do us fine. Wolves losing would be a nice bonus.

BRISTOL86 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I think realistically teams above us getting points is better than those below us so a Burton win would be better than a Blackburn one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn Burton draw and a goal difference-levelling loss for Wolves as it stands; thinking this might be an ideal set of results if they hold...

I think @Red-Robbo is right; Burton win and a Brum win (ideally by two or mor so their goal difference doesn't lend them an advantage) - we only need to finish 21st (what a mighty aim...) so keeping us where we are and leaving others in bad form (a la Wolves) is ideal.

IAmNick Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 No offence to them intended as I have some respect for them but it's so depressing we're hoping bloody Burton Albion pick up points to help our relegation battle along.

cityexile Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Given were we are, as good as we might have hoped. Burton & Blackburn drawing, and Wokves losing.
