supercidered Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 After a massive result yesterday, I thought I would have a look at our relegation rivals fixture lists. Burton in particular looks pretty daunting and so does Wolves. Ours isn't great but does look better than some of the others. It could be that it comes down to Brum on last day, I would probably take that as it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjam!n Ultra Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yep. 100% would take being alive on the final day. Ideally being in a position where those below have to win allowing us the option to even lose and survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Akinbiyi gave us hope only to be undone by Ndlovu's cheating dive for a penalty and Dave howells suicidal back pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we send Birmingham down on the last day?! Their form is poor and, on paper, their run in looks tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 While we're straw clutching just had a quick look, and I think maybe we need 45/46 points. So as little as 8 points might be enough. Problem is I'm shit at picking results and at this time of the year there will always be a few shocks but ....... Even the most pessimistic of Reds maybe cheered a little by looking at Wolves,Blackburn and Wigan's remaining fixtures. Of course that can be countered by looking at ours.

On paper, I would say Burton have a hard run in. Yes they have been picking up good points recently, but in their last ten they have Huddersfield, Reading, Leeds and Newcastle still to go. If we can pick 3 more points up over the next ten games than them, I fancy we will be ok. Easy on paper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really do need an upturn in form soon, 90 minute games not 45. Quick look says Wolves , Brum , QPR and Barnsley , along with the 6 pointer at Blackburn are our best chance of getting points. But we need wins not draws, going to be tight and I'd rather we were safe before the Birmingham home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
