Paul having done the numbers what do you reckon?

 

it all depends................

obviously! my gut feeling is we won't go down -I think49 pts and GD will be enough-just -but it will make Plymouth away a nervy 90 mins !!

 

I think thats spot on.

I think Forest, Charlton and the either us or Plymouth, i just don't see Norwich or Southampton in Division 1 next season. I don't think i could handle stress of a winner takes all game at Plymouth.
