Lord Snooty Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Given their relativley small squad and fixture pile up, including plenty of six pointers I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up bottom of the pile. They have a horrific schedule ahead. Sadly, as S36 says they have Coventry and Birmingham in there, as we could do with them getting dragged into the mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 We need 5 wins on the spin and we are in with a shout. However that would take a cataclysmic change of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBridgfordowl Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 If we were capable of turning in the run of results needed to stay up, we wouldn’t be sat where we are in the league. The performance against Cardiff was great, but far too late to make a difference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, we need draws on both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rotherham win both it pulls them up into that pack who are 7pts clear and leaves us marooned with Wycombe. If they lose both games the pack are put of reach and the bottom three are done for. Anything apart from two draws and we are finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Another update after noticing a couple of games have been put back 24 hours to Sunday 18th which will help put pressure on them if we can win. Sadly I also had Huddersfield down as being away to Bournemouth but they are at home ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_&_white_wizards Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Its a big IF but if we can win the next 2 games there is a good chance that we will be 2 points behind Derby. Its then a case of matching their results to the end of the season and beating them on the last day... Simples!!! Rotherham have got a mountain to climb, thats a lot of fixtures with a paper thin squad Edited April 7, 2021 by Blue_&_white_wizards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can finish above Derby, we give ourselves a chance! Big ask and most unlikely but you never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Derby have Norwich at home on Saturday so that's difficult then 2 away games at Blackburn and Preston. In that time we have QPR away and then home games against Swansea, Bristol C and Blackburn. Anything could happen, please God let us go on a good run.

It's a weight on players backs in ways and maybe affects performances apart from effort which should be a must. Staying up would be huge confidence booster fir next season.. If.

Hi, Blues fan here in peace , I have heard people say that it is possible that certain results are season changing, I reckon your win over Cardiff and Rotherham's result against Wycombe will be just that. So for what its worth I think Rotherham have too much to do and will join Wycombe, and hopefully 'Wayne Rooney's' Derby will make up the three. Looking at all the remaining fixtures, with the exception of Rotherham who play us, Huddersfield and Coventry we all have a similar run in of relatively winnable games. I'm hoping our new manager bounce will extend for another couple of games, I think your man is a fighter and you will have enough quality to pull clear.

Yes we have to win the next 3 games, that’s a given. But we also need one or two of Huddersfield, Derby, Coventry and Brum to only get 1 point from their next 3 games. Looking at their fixtures and form that’s a possibility. We would be very unlucky to win the next 3 games and not be within touching distance of 21st place in my opinion Edited April 7, 2021 by Owls-Fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 We need to get to 49 points to have any chance. 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from 7 games. It would take a drastic upturn in form for this to happen. Whilst Monday was brilliant and our best performance in years, don’t be fooled! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a massive upturn, we’re on a run of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat (against the second best team in the league) in the past 4 games. That’s 7 points out of 12 available. Or 1.75 points per game. Keep the current form going and we’d have 47 points. So only 2 points shy of the target, which isn’t a massive upturn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Apart from Birmingham who are now out of it every single result went for us. I said in the match day thread that I might even have taken this situation before 3 o’clock. Not over yet, just need 3 straight home wins.
