I reckon bolton could just about get 4 pts from west brom and stoke. Probably won't, but is possible

Qpr have a really good chance of beating stoke but then anything but a defeat at city looks reet difficult.

QPR will beat Stoke and Bolton will beat WBA, no question.  It's all about what they'll do intheir last game that will define our fate, as I think we'll lose both of ours.

We need at least 1 point to stay up - I can't see Bolton and QPR both winning both their games.

I think we may draw at norwich.

But would really rather not go into that game level on points with whoevers 3rd from bottom, which I do think is a risk

Would love to disagree with this but can't. I think we'll stay up, but unless either Bolton or QPR lose next week I will be a nervous wreck on the last day.

So, by my reckoning, if we match the result of either QPR or Bolton in either of the last 2 games, we are safe due to goal difference.  Is that right?

Correct - providing there are not any high scoring results against us and for both of them.

Yep. And in any order. If they both win on Saturday and we lose it gets a bit squeaky though,so you'd think McLeish would view it as a 'free' game  and have a go.

he won't

It only gets squeaky if you truly believe QPR will go to City and get a result. Which of course, they won't. As such, we are already safe as houses.
