Bluesteel Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 At the moment it looks as if the bottom three need to win 3/9 games and better what miserly total we get. Barnsley need to win 2 and better us. I could see the others getting above us, but the form of those four might save us. We would’ve been ten points clear and likely high and dry had we won though.

striker Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Think we will just about stay up, by default based on how poor some of the teams below us are rather than earning it ourselves. If anyone below does put a run together and we do go down though, can have no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They, along with us, have to play each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull will be fine now they have Hernandez back. What I wouldn't give to have him up front for us. Think they will swap him for Rhodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbo48 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I hate to say it but some of us who are a bit longer in the tooth can remember past seasons when there was no way we could go down at this stage but did. In those seasons we actually won the odd match during the run in and the impossible happened. It’s never over till it’s mathematically impossible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If we are not in the Bottom 3 by this time on bank holiday Monday then we will have got away with it I’ve got a horrible feeling we will be I can definitely see Burton beating the pigs too!!

If we had one down I would be a bit more confident/ Highly likely there will be teams that stay up that finish below us. So surely they will take that accolade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nine games to go but in all likelihood, we're already fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton's following 2 games are away at Wolves and then Cardiff. We've got 38 points which isn't enough yet, 45 points will probably be enough. If we don't get some players back from injury by Easter fixtures I'm struggling to see where points will come from. I'm not even confident we'll get owt at Sunderland.

If we struggle and I mean really struggle against these 2 - we won’t get another win all season - if the squad stays as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Powell Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Anyone who is confident about us staying up is fooling themselves. Alright the teams below us are very poor but we are frightened of our own shadow. Cant see us winning again this season. Draws may just see us over the line.How the hell did we end up here.
