Big local Derby and Barnsley are at home desperate for the win to cement their play off position?And with Rotherham's recent gruelling schedule I wouldn't like to call that one. I think they'll nick a point against Barnsley, they're set up well to deal with that kind of team tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Just now, Finch said: Because there’s something wrong off the pitch. I’m not denying that but there’s little the players can do about it. Maybe they should apply all their focus on what they are occasionally paid for and let off the field issues resolve themselves one way or another. strawhillram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Barnsley won't be secured so will want to win..could still change they are only 1 up and reading could still grab a winner at Luton. DCFC1388 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 It’s criminal that we’re not safe already.

DCFC1388 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hopefully the players that showed the fight & desire to drag us off the bottom of the league turn up for the last 3 games. They turned up vs Luton, Reading & Norwich and even vs Blackburn. Cmon lads, use tonights result as motivation BramcoteRam84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belperram9 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I genuinely think Sheffield Wednesday will survive or take it to the last day if we have not attained safety by then. I did a huge bet today on us to go down. If we stay up happy days; if not then that’s that, at least I’ll be in pocket. I genuinely can see us losing every game and being relegated on goal difference. Finch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) The Forest penalty in the 98th minute is very, very frustrating. Birmingham would have been on 51 points, not mathematically safe yet, however they would have been 8 ahead of us so almost certainly would survive. That goal has not only probably guaranteed Forest's safety, but also makes Saturday's game vs Birmingham a lot more important. The goal could have knocked their confidence, however they've done pretty well under Bowyer. Now we have a situation where we are 6 points behind them. GD is -18 for them, -20 for us. A one goal win would bring us to within 3 points of them and level on GD. If they lost their next two against Cardiff and Blackburn, we would likely need to beat Sheffield Wednesday to give us a good chance of finishing above them either on GD or even possibly goals scored. This could be seen as a good thing, as it allows us another opportunity to catch a team above us, rather than try to stave off teams below us. However given the form of the two teams, and the heightened importance of this game for Birmingham, I think we're going to be in for a hell of a lot harder game than we would have been if they had held on.

DCFC1388 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 What we could do with this weekend - Boro beat Sheff W Barnsley beat Rotherham We beat Birmingham Bournemouth beat Brentford Reading beat Swansea Blackburn beat Huddersfield That set of results puts Sheff Weds down, us 7pts clear, 1pt behind Huddersfield so maybe keep them in the mix & Brentford needing to beat Rotherham midweek in their game in hand to secure playoffs Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a positive note though its stopped their momentum as well as their run of clean sheets. Hogan went off injured too. Also, like you say a win puts us within 3pts of them but I still think they're safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest it makes no difference if we finish 21st, 20th, 19th, wherever. Right now I'd much rather the teams we're coming up against have nothing to play for. That wouldn't have been the case for Birmingham tonight regardless, however the fact we can pull within 1 win of them must fire them up a bit more, surely? Swansea are essentially playing for nothing other than being at home in the second-leg of the play-offs. But they are still the 4th best team in the league so far. Sheffield Wednesday could have been relegated last night. They're still alive. They could be relegated on Saturday. If they're still alive, they'll have even more confidence. If they go in to the final day of the season still with the opportunity to stay up, then I really fear they will have more desire than we would be able to muster.
