Is anyone else bizarrely confident that we will stay up?

    Not confident we'll stay up but not prepared to consign us to relegation just yet. Mathematically we can still survive.

    I am normally very optimistic regarding our chances of remaining in a particular league and
    would never admit we were down until it was mathematically impossible not to be able to.

    This time around however, I have the feeling and I hope that I'm wrong, we've left ourselves
    just a bit too much to do and we are just going to miss out on enough points to stay up.

    I think we'll finish 23rd.

    Would love to be proved wrong.

    I havent - I think we have given ourselves too much to do and will finish a few points adrift
    Still I thought that in the Great Escape season and I was wrong then
    I also thought we were going down a couple of years ago and I was right that time
    Our form over the last 10 games has been the best all season W 4 D 1 L5 pts 13
    even if we replicate that we only get to 47 points and I doubt it will be enough
    Love to be wrong and go to Brentford safe or at least with it in our own hands

    No, it's not in our hands. We have to keep winning and others have to lose. Never a good scenario.

    I think the damage had already been done, so am expecting relegation. If we avoid it, it will be a bonus ending to a dismal season, on and off the pitch.

    I said the same thing at the time of Struber's appointment, as it would be unfair to judge him as a coach based on whether or not we manage to stay up from the position he inherited.

    If we keep winning we will stay up or dont you think 64 points would guarantee survival - its in our hands at this stage but I dont think we will win enough games - unless a couple of teams drop like stones and finish with points totals in the low 40's

    League 1 next season. I'd accepted it after Middlesbrough away.

    I'm taking each game as it comes. I'd love to be proved wrong, but I'm already resigned to relegation. It's now about performances and trying to eke out as much enjoyment as possible from the remaining games.

    No we aren’t good enough. We have got ourselves a team that will compete at the top end of L1 next season if we don’t sell.

    This weekend could have a huge bearing on it all with Hull, Stoke, Luton &Wigan playing each other.
    Really does need to be a weekend where we win.

    My confidence has eroded since a couple of weeks ago. We are now two wins from safety, if other results go our way. I think Luton and BFC are down and several teams are fighting over the third spot. I hope I'm wrong.

    No, left ourselves too much to do. Others around us putting winning runs together at same time as our 3 game winning streak didn't help.

    Not confident at all. Left it too late for me. Stranger things have happened like

    Unfortunately with Wigans upturn, stoke too strong i cant see us doing it but we will be stronger for this season and hopefully

    Collins Walton Greatorex
    J Williams Halme Diaby Sollbaore Anderson B Williams Odour
    Green Thomas Siibick Styles Bahre Ritzmaier
    Chaplin Wilkes Simeos,

    plus some of the u23s and a couple of new signings give us a good season next year as there is some potential there in decent contracts.

    Money in the bank for Mowatt Mcgeehan, Brown, Woodrow

    Dougal, Cavare, Pinnilos Thiam on thier way.

    We will sell though if we go down I think brown,chaplin,mowatt and mcgheehan will be sold. I think this team is weaker than the one that was relegated last time.
