CornwallRam Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I think we'll stay up thanks to Wednesday's points deduction. If we lose the appeal and get a points deduction for next season, I wonder if Wednesday will take legal action? This could get messy. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboto Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 If Swansea beat Reading then we have all the automatic promotion teams plus all the playoff teams decided. I don’t doubt that they’ll want a favourable team position to get a good draw in the play-offs but perhaps they’ll be cautious not to lose any players to injury and field a less than full strength line up. A draw against Swansea and Rotherham to get nothing from their next 2 and I will believe that we are safe (although we technically won’t be). Wish we could’ve held onto that lead today.

The very fact that if they stay up they'll have beaten us twice, Rotherham beat us twice etc... is why we'd go down and we shouldn't argue with that we've been carp and deserve everything we get as a club.

MickD Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 This reminds me of the old joke. Two guys (Derby and Rotherham) were walking in the woods. They see a bear (relegation) Derby starts running, Rotherham says "You can't outrun a bear" Derby says "I don't have to, I only have to outrun you." Unfortunately Rotherham are wearing running shoes (games in hand) and Derby heavy boots and carrying a heavy backpack (Rooney) eezzeetiger, Jourdan and jimtastic56 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the original post, but this is also very true. If we can’t beat Sheffield Wednesday with a 6pt deduction, we don’t deserve to be in this league. In fact, even if we beat them with a 6pt deduction, that’s very crap and we should and will hang our heads in shame. I can see us just staggering the the last day of the season, no points in god knows how many games, but surviving cos Rotherham are just as bad, and wendies have a deduction. But I do hope we beat them on the last day, that would give me some solace and end the season on something of a high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Wendies goal difference is the same as ours so they may only need a draw against us if they beat Florist and we lose at Swansea. Always assuming Rovrum get no points any time soon. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it because they gained an unfair advantage that was later proved to be a breach of the rules? The league is what it is, if you stay up you deserve to.

Sheff W need to better our result vs Swansea in their game against Forest then beat us last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckram Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I’m more worried about Wednesday than Rotherham. If we lose to Swansea then they literally just need a point against Forest and then to beat us! Rammy03 and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthram Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 If it goes to the last game, Derby v Sheff Wed and winner stays up, you can put money on Sky Sports having it as their main live match. Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
