    Anyone had a look at the run in on the candidates vying for championship survival?

    interesting to see that that Fowls have got 6 of the bottom 8 to play in their last nine games, they are certainly going to be a deciding factor in who goes down, hopefully them included, but we could do with plenty of draws in there i reckon.

    I think a lot of our relegation rivals have each other to play. It can only be good for us as it means some of them have to drop points.

    On the other hand, we are pretty much up against a raft of teams vying for promotion or play offs. Our run in is harder than Chopper Read

    Agreed that what was the contrast, glad we are playing them next so we can atune ourselves to the better teams!!

    Just how we like it. We perform better against the better teams as the last week has proved. We are **** against ****.

    The good thing about that is someone has to drop points, unlike what has been happening recently.
    The bad thing being that someone is always going to pick up points, whereas we could go a few games without picking up any points since we're playing against the top 6.

    Thankfully we seem to play better against the top sides. Also, home games against Derby and Charlton, who are on bad runs but should still be safe, should be easier than playing teams that are fighting for their lives right at the bottom. Those two games are vital.

    If I am completely honest I would rather us play teams higher up the league than teams scrapping for their lives.

    The top teams are starting to get nervous, so near but so far away. Some players in top teams in my opinion seem to stop playing, not all but some. If they go up they will be more than likely replaced as not good enough. The bottom teams are fighting like hell and are harder to beat. All the bottom teams are winning. So in my mind we need to beat Wendy's to start with. Then a couple more wins three in all gets us to 53 points. We are playing well enough to do it, and we are scoring. The work ethic and determination will in my mind see us through. It will be up and down but I think we will survive. We will have Dawson back, and one or two out with card accumulation but we will cover with squad we have

    Ah but, they have the added element of being absolutely MASSIVE.

    We usually do alright against higher sides so i'm glad we have on paper such a tough run in. Better than playing teams around us like Huddersfield who have beat us, Wendy who beat us, Brizzle who beat us, Wolves who's beat us, Posh who did double on us etc.
