No

Is this the "dream partnership" that Percy alluded to a couple of weeks back ?

Hold on. That doesn’t compute. I’m reliably informed that there are only two relegation candidates. Birmingham and us, apparently. 
rotherham are as good as safe, with all their games in hand. Coventry won their last game, so they’re safe. And because Birmingham drew last night, we’re basically ducked. 

5 of Blackburn’s final 6 games are against relegation candidates. 

They can upset a few apple carts, including their own

You're just getting old like the rest of us mate.
We saw the best team in the country for 6 or 7 years bitd.
Promotion, Two League titles, European Cup runs, semi-finals, yet Sam Longson ended up pilloried for giving his all to DCFC, a generation later, Lionel got abused for throwing his fortune at his home town club, Mel has done the same, tried to live the dream, failed by the skin of his teeth to take his boyhood club to the promised land of the premiership. Mel watched the Longson/Clough years from the Popside, if he's failed its not for the want of trying.
Keep the faith fella, there'll be another golden era before we're done. ?
These Derby men have tried, they have given us some absolutely brilliant times and some poor times, that is the history of DCFC.
 

Currently there is 6 teams below us in the table and none of them can better our goal difference. Its all about points in the bag and not, we have games in hand (you've got to win or draw them them to gain points). I will sleep well tonight. Thank you Norwich for using up all your ammo in tonights game. See you on Saturday when you could be facing your 1st opponents that take 6 points off you this season.

It really is starting to look grim now isn’t it. I feel like it’s our time to go down. I really do. It’s a toss up between us and Rotherham. I think blues will somehow survive and cov to clinch it. Hopefully Rotherham stumble. But I want to see us attack because at the moment we play for draws basically. If we somehow limp our way into next season I want Rooney to change his tactics otherwise we’ll go down simple as that. 

I am more worried about Sheff Wednesday than Rotherham though. Would not back our lot to get a point against them on the final day if it came down to it.

Our main danger sits with our injuries accompanied by our inability to score goals ( actually that’s sums up the whole season) 

They've won 2 of their last 5- it basically depends on what section of form you choose to focus on. I think they'll get 4 points from the 4 games in hand but I could easily see them picking up 6 points from 4 leaving them very close to us. The fact they're playing so many teams in and around us also makes it more likely they'll pick up a few points too. We've only got 11 points from the last 12 games- and that includes a very lucky win against Wycombe so we're hardly looking like we're going to get many more points. I can't see us getting anything from Norwich or Swansea so realistically that leaves us 4 games to pick up 4 points. Given our current form that's far from assured. We're not home and dry yet.  

Sheffield Wednesday are 8 points behind us but have a game in hand and their fixtures look quite kind for them too, if they win on saturday against QPR I'd be getting more concerned about them than about Rotherham. 

it is as much in their hands as ours

Could do with the Bees smashing Blues tonight, otherwise our game against them suddenly looks horrible. 

We play Shef We’d last game. Forest play them 2nd last . They wouldn’t throw it would they?

Blackburn Rovers last 13 games: L-L-L-L-L-D-L-W-D-L-D-D-L
They 've done their best to get into a relegation fight recently. Injuries haven't helped and they should be safe as Travis and Armstrong are getting fit again.

I think we will stop up this season I am more concerned about next season. If the takeover drags on any longer I think most players who are out of contract will leave for better pay and prospects at clubs with more ambition than us at the moment. Also will Rooney stop at a club with very little money to spend to attract new players?   I never wanted Mel to throw money at our football club I wanted a long term sustainable plan to get us in the Premiership .

I don’t think we are quite in the position yet not to worry about relegation rivals winning and getting within a couple of points of us. Take another butchers at the table and games played column, certainly nowhere near out of the woods yet, especially with Reading and Norwich to come next....

Not much of a margin for an inexact science. We need to beat Luton, Brum and Wendies plus a draw or two to be safe in my opinion. Personally cannot see us winning those three games.

Luton is the key game for me , win and the feelgood factor will return , lose and i think we totally fall apart , 3pts is a must

Aha!  So this is where everyone's been hiding!
 
Nobody thought to come in the play off thread and give me a shout then?  Y'know, a sort of "Hey Mucker, we're all over here now, if you fancy joining us"!
 
Well, shove it!  I ain't interested! 
 

I’d love to be surprised by the result today but because I’m feeling a bit negative about us today, I can’t help thinking Luton will be thinking this is a game they can win while we’ll be like a point from this will be a good result.
I think we lack belief, both from the management/coaching side and on the pitch and it sickens me because I really believe we have far more about us than we’ve been set up like in the last half dozen or so games. 

Derby will loose. Brum and Millers will win. Will be an awful bank holiday. Get ready to drown your sorrows rams fans 

They will ruminate over it for days.

Just assuming Rotherham, Birmingham and Coventry maintain their 1 ppg average over the rest of the season, they'll al be around that 46-48 point range after that final game.
That means Sheff Weds would have to win 5 out of their 9 games at the very minimum, 6 wins would be more realistic. I just can't see them beating the drop.
We need 3 wins or 2 wins and 2 draws from 8 games. That doesn't sound too hard to achieve
