Relegation Watch

It would hardly be a massive shock if we get turned over next week. We hardly created anything today and could barely get up for a local derby.

That and our wretched away form.

I thought Blackburn played pretty well at VP and were unlucky to lose although Kodjia back will obviously give us more threat.

It will probably be the usual 1-1 like at Burton recently.

Dean Smith knows his duty.

He most definitely does.

Sink them.

I've just stuck some money on Blackburn to go down.  I'm terrible at betting.

You can all thank me later!

Blues will drop - I'm confident!

I'm still sticking to my prediction on 14th April......

[tony_harrison]

Do you think it's dawned on the noses that they actually need Villa to do them a favour?

We nust need Dave to pop up saying what a certainty it is for Blackburn to go down. 😀

Whenever I wear my 1957 Cup final shirt we always lose. Always. I'll be wearing it next Saturday.

They're that thick over in Small Heath that they probably still want us to lose against Blackburn.

So it's as you were with 2 games to go except the Blue Scum have one less GD...

19. QPR: 50pts (-12)
20. Forest: 48pts (-11)
21: Blose: 47pts (-22)
22. Blackburn: 45pts (-15)


Remaining fixtures:

QPR
vs Forest (H)
vs Norwich (A)

Forest
vs QPR (A)
vs Ipswich (H)

Blose
vs Huddersfield (H)
vs Bristol City (A)

Blackburn
vs Villa (H)
vs Brentford (A)


Both Huddersfield and Blackburn need results if they are to secure a playoff spot or avoid relegation respectively.
Forest and QPR aren't safe yet, but whatever happens, it looks as though it's going to the final game of the season where both Bristol and Brentford have nothing to play for (and in fact, neither do Norwich or Ipswich).

Does this calculation take into account the moral victory points Blose got yesterday? How many was it they were awarded again?

[l_mckay]

Huddersfield will surely rest their best players now for the play offs,and Bristol city are safe now so I can see them staying up unfortunately.

The higher in the play off places you finish, the more advantageous the draw.

The top 2 teams play their 2nd leg at home, and the 3rd placed team play the 6th placed team. Huddersfield will keep pushing.
