I think their best options are both Derby and us failing to win at the weekend and they beat and say draw with Blackburn and Luton, which would keep them up, unless we hammer Derby 5-0 or so, which ain't going to happen. They wouldn't want to be going to Cardiff needing a draw or win. The issue with Rotherham's position is if they lose on Tuesday, and don't beat Blackburn and we beat Forest, they end up under pressure, and suddenly they're not in the best position. You would expect them to pick up some points but they haven't recently and our fans think we're doomed because of the same situation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Reading win today should inspire Swansea to beat Derby next weekend. Still think Rovrum are worn out. Made 6 changes yesterday, to freshen it up, & achieved nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through blind luck, we are now just as likely to land ourselves in the last day position of having to win one all-or-nothing game, as we were before kick-off today. We may have been horribly mediocre all season, but Derby are currently terrible, and Rotherham are currently shattered. We don't deserve it on merit, but we still have a chance on luck. Playing the team we are chasing last day is a wonderful piece of luck. Rotherham having to play 2 or 3 times every week has turned out to be horrible luck for them. Birmingham letting in a 96th minute equaliser on Tuesday meant they went into the Derby game today needing something, and their spirited second half turnaround may not have happened if they hadn't let in that goal on Tuesday. That was lucky for us. Playing a recently safe Forest, with nothing to play for, could well be lucky for us. Maybe we can even put together one of the biggest relegation scrapes of all time, and draw against Forest, Derby lose to Swansea, Rotherham continue to stumble, and we get to the same position, of needing one result final day, to emerge safe on just 43 points. It wouldn't be fair, but football doesn't work out fairly. Reading vs Swansea, strange as it sounds, is big tomorrow. We need a Reading win. That sends Swansea into the Derby game still needing a result, and could well be a crucial difference. They should still beat a poor Derby if they need to; If they don't, I fear for us if Swansea have no motiviaton but to go into the playoffs fresh. If we get that piece of luck tomorrow, like it or not, we have to hang onto hope. Crazy but true... Somebody call Ripley's ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beighton Owl 87 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Rotherham can draw with Blackburn and Luton and lose to Brentford, we beat Forest and Derby lose to Swansea. It's in our hands then. We can still do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 One more defeat hardly makes our chances better when we need points to catch our rivals. Let's face it we're still lucky to have any sort of a chance to stay up. We've been given real chances to get ourselves safe but we've been like a drowning man failing to catch a lifeline when it has been thrown.

If we beat Forest then Derby can even draw with Swansea and it'll still be in our hands and I don't Rotherham will win another game so I'm saying they're down.

That’s what I thought nothing is in our hands. We need to hope Rotherham don’t get anything at Brentford tomorrow, and then for Swansea to beat Derby on Saturday (which I’m confident on). But then we HAVE to beat Forest to take it to the last day And all this while hoping toytown don’t win their other game in hand Out of the 3 teams we have by far the least say Edited April 26, 2021 by FreshOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I can't see us or Rotherham winning 2 to catch Derby, even though they have imploded. Although in theory we might only have to win the 1 game at Derby, if they lose at Swansea and we don't lose v Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean Rotherham needing only four points from four games, however, assuming goal difference doesn't alter drastically in our favour. Unfortunately Swansea could help Derby by resting players now they've qualified for play-offs and if they win there, game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
