    I do unfortunately. We need some results to go our way now.

    hardly rocket science is it, given that we need to the business ourselves and hope other results go our way.

    Just done the Championship predictor on the BBC, with us winning both our remaining games but all the results against us.......

    That is a crap image, has Barnsley, Wolves, Huddersfield and Peterborough on 57 points. Goal difference taking us and Huddersfield down.

    There is no way that all three clubs and going to win both games left. It's just not going to happen. I think we'll be ok with 4 points, but I'd rather, obviously get 6.

    I do not think 55 is enough

    sorry, and I just do not see us winning both games

    I was just seeing if it was possible we could win both games and go down. Be very unlucky to go down on 57 points, that was worth 16th spot last year.

    4 or 6 pts will keep us up.

    Depending on results on Saturday, we could be in a position where 8 teams are still in with a chance of relegation on the last day (depending on other results). Two of the teams at the bottom could go out with a whimper, but the ways things are going we could have the relegated teams swapping around all afternoon. That *will* be bad for the nerves.

    We *could* still finish anywhere up to 15th.

    Four points will keep us up and we will get four points. You reds.

    Unfortunately that is where all my calculations keep leading me as well. Nerves already well and truly shredded!

    We could be relegated by 7pm Saturday.

    Wolves and Peterborough have got run-of-the-mill home games.
    We are playing the second best team in the league.

    So all this talk about winning both or drawing one and winning one might be irrelevant.

    I would certainly take a point against Hull and a win on the last day.

    it IS out of our hands, if we win both games we are only guaranteed to be above Bristol and Huddersfield (goal difference). If Wolves and Peterborough both win both their games, we will be behind them on goal difference.

    However, I think if we do win both games, we will survive.

    I think 5 more points will be enough. :)

    Re: Mathamatically

    However, if us, Wolves and Peterborough win both games, then Wednesday need to beat Middlesbrough *and* Burnley need to beat Ipswich *and* Huddersfield need a win over Brizzle for them all to be safe. Not all of those results are going to happen. One of the teams will bottle it (I hope it isn't us, but it *could* be) and one of the teams looking safe on 55-56 points could still go down (Millwall have a game in hand, but are in terrible form and have Forest, Palace and Derby to play).

    True, but on the up-side of things it was in our run-of-the-mill home games where we came unstuck. Anything can happen. If Wolves and Peterborough do both lose on Saturday then I would guess three more points would probably see us safe.

    No - I don't think it is out of our hands, it is very much in our hands.

    If we win both games we WILL stay up. It is theoretically possible that we could go down on 57 points but statistically about as likely as me winning the lottery. We will stay up if we finish on 57.
