It seems to me though, that every other team below us can beat a good side on their day. We can't beat a good or bad side regardless of our day for the most part.

I've done the BBC predictor again and been pessimistic.
I still get us staying up by one point. With goal difference probably worth an extra point we may be OK.

But McLeish has to go for we will certainly be relegated next season with crowds of 25k.

Bolton is massive a win saves us ..even a draw keeps us going but a lose will end us I feel.

Only positive is we have to play spurs who haven't scored in open play away away from home in 2 months ..maybe Norwich are also running out of steam.

Cheers Spurs.

Oh well, I still think QPR will get maybe one more point but who knows how this turd of a season will turn out.
I still have us down for 40/41 points.

Can't really fault the current side, they're predominantly a bunch of kids who aren't ready for this kind of battle yet. I don't think we will get many more points from the last 4 games, 3 at best and I'm fairly sure it won't be from a win on Tuesday.

I was thinking at the game that the blues side that went down last season would beat the current side we're having to put out.

After examining it - If we avoid defeat on Tuesday I'm sure we'll stay up.

If we lose we are right in the shit and we will need to win another game. I can't see that. I fancy QPR and Wigan to end the season well. Blackburn are unpredictable.

AM is playing it very skilfully like he did last season. Just when we think we've done enough, down we'll go. I'm more certain of this now than I ever was.

This for me.

As long as we don't beat Bolton we will be o.k as Bolton will need 7 more points than us in the run in and with four more games left that will be too much of an ask imo. Losing that game isn't even worth thinking about.

Yes a draw with Bolton would probably help us crawl towards the line.

However, Bolton dont do draws - in fact they have not drawn away for 14 months.

So which way will it go ? Well, we have won 4 home games and Bolton have won 5 away games this season.

Would you bet against them ?

Oh yes, and they have already won at ours this season. That was a good evening as well wasn't it !

QPR have to go to Chelsea and Man City and are at home to stoke in the other so one point will probably do us...
Blackburn vs Wigan could be a biggie...hopefully we will be nice and safe by then...
Fab season when you are hoping for a point at home to a relegation threatened, out of form Bolton side...

Every week people say Wigan have this tough game, or QPR won't get anything against Spurs etc. And yet every week a team or two is coming up with a result apart from us.

I don't think we will, but the fact that we still could is unacceptable.  For a whole host of reasons this is the worst season I can remember.  And yes, I can remember football pre-Sky.

I dont see them getting much at Citeh or Chelsea, but Stoke at home the last day of the season i think they will win.
