A quick google search says Blackburn are favourites. I can't see that changing before kickoff. You mention our away form, but Blackburn haven't won any of their last 7 home games (1 win in the last 11). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't wrong. It IS in our hands. If we win all our games we finish above Wycombe, Sheff Weds and Birmingham regardless of what Rovrum and Coventry do.

Jram Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I have misjudged this season from minute 1 with my over-confidence. I’m going to continue doing so- we’ll win Friday and end on 53 points ariotofmyown, angieram and Finch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are toothless with one not fully fit striker available...... I agree totally, some believe it is in our own hands, the one I mentioned is one of the few unrealistic scenarios hence why I called it remote. Football is played on a pitch not on a spreadsheet. Unless we find some form soon we are totally reliant on the others messing up which is quite possible Jimbo Ram and Rammy03 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just defending @Spanish against you saying he was wrong about it being in our hands. Just now, Spanish said: haven't I already said this? Yes, and I was just picking up on someone who said you were wrong when you weren't. Spanish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are however as likely to win our last 5 games as any of the other teams down at the bottom to win all of theirs. It is in our hands because we only have to perform as well as Birmingham in their games not beat them at our place.

If Coventry beat Rotherham tomorrow, they'll have played the same games as us and be above, with Rotherham 4 points behind with 2 games in hand.

Rammy03 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 We are in the relegation fight there's no doubt about it and we have been for a while. I think we got the deck chairs out too early and that led to a horrible losing run. Millwall, Stoke and Coventry stand out as games we stupidly lost. Really we should be miles clear by now. The next two games are absolutely key. By the weekend we will know exactly where we stand as Rotherham begin to catch up with their games. I think beating Blackburn is vital, they're on a horrible run and their season has collapsed. If god forbid we lose to them and Birmingham win, it is then completely out of our hands. We then play Preston, Birmingham, Swansea and Wednesday. None of these games look particularly difficult to me. I suspect Swansea will be in the playoffs by the time we play them and Wednesday will be down. If we cannot get a couple of wins together from the remaining five then we deserve everything we get.
