Would be 5 points behind Derby too. If Coventry lose their game in hand as well then it might even go full stiffy. Saucy bugger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 2 minutes ago, Owls-Fan said: Yes I also think we’re going down. My comment above was about how we have tough looking fixtures but like yesterday, away to an inform playoff side unbeaten in 12 games, we played well and deservedly won the game. But someone replied and disagreed with the fact that I was saying we can give anyone a game on our day. Which is their right, it’s all about opinions at the end of the day. Agreed, we’ve left it too late but let’s go out and ruffle some feathers on our way down like we did yesterday. As Westy said as a club, we want to go down with a fight. Give those teams above us something to worry about, don’t make it easy for them 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Very slim chance on staying up but to stand any chance we would have to get five / six points from the next 3 games . That would give us some momentum going into the rest which are on paper easier apart from Swansea away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 A slim chance but only positive is 6 out of the 9 will be mid-table seeing the season out. That’s providing Derby are safe by the time we play them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 16 hours ago, LondonOwl313 said: Looking at ours if we hit some form then those last 5 games an optimistic scenario would be 10 points from 5 games against inconsistent teams who won’t have much to play for. So to have a chance we’re going to need at least 6 points, if not 8 points, from the next 4. QPR is a winnable game.. but we need to shock some of the others to have any chance. Watford looking very good now too so can’t see anything there. If we don’t pick up at least 6 from the next 4 we’re already down, maybe even mathematically so I think we’ll beat QPR, Bristol City, Blackburn, Boro and Forest if he keeps faith with the new line-up. But we also need to get bits and pieces from the tougher three games. Then a grand finale at Derby, who look like they could be in deep trouble if their fans opinion of Rooney is accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They nearly wasted everyone’s time for a moment. I hope so but if you could arrange it that would help Thanks for a great debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Probably need approx 15pts to give us a chance so 5 wins from 9 Or 4 wins 3 draws Certainly not impossible, if we can show same level of fight , determination etc we did against Barnsley then it’s on. I do have a bad feeling it will go to the last day but hopefully that doesn’t happen and we’ve won 8 in a row to keep us up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Bar the Watford game, they are all winnable games...but then we are talking about us. I just think that too much will need to go right for us to stop up tbh. Having to square off against the likes of Colin and Mad Mick is far from ideal too. Managers who usually do well against us.

Now suddenly we get a win I'm looking at fixtures, form tables, other teams around us run-ins It's the hope that kills you, incredible what a win does to you even after you thought you'd given up. Was saying this was one of the worst Wednesday teams we've had in years but yet here I am convincing myself we can beat Watford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I admire some of the optimism in this thread, but don't get your hopes up. 50 points the likely target to stay up and we aren't winning 6 out of 9 games, especially as we've Watford and Cardiff up next and our game in hand is Swansea. Great result at Barnsley, nice to still be mathematically in with a shout, but let's not get giddy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
