haven't been able to find any bookies other than betfair offering odds, but currently odds for relelgation are:- 1/41 Southampton Evs Norwich 5/2 Barnsley (was a low as 6/4 yesterday) 8/1 Plymouth 8/1 Forest not sure the southampton odds work - thought it was certain that they would be relegated due to the 10 points deduction kicking in this season if they survived. Perhaps it is based upon teams finishing in bottm 3 without the deduction being applied. I don't think we will win today, but hope that we can at least match Plymouths result (away at QPR) and don't lose by more goals than them. We can then go to Plymouth knowing that any win would see us safe at their expense. But then NUMPTY will probably go for the draw hoping to sneak a win. So many variations, but i think Norwich will finish above us on goal difference. making it vital that we at least match plymouth today. Not sure whether i would prefer to go to plymouth needing a draw or a win. Obviously needing a draw should be better, but you can imagine Daveys tactics, and how many times have we played for a draw and come unstuck. Not really looking forward to today - last home match should be a chance to acknowledge performances through the season and be a celebration, not a demonstration in front of the directors box.
Blackpool only need one point from Forest to be safe .... and I think that is what they will get. I had always seen Forest as the club most likely to keep us afloat, but they will be out of touching distance. Not sure about Norwich - depends on how the pressure affects them. I can see Reading drawing there (Reading have very good away record this season - almost as good as home). I can see the Charlton game being difficult - it will Addicks last game in the Championship and they have been playing well of recent weeks. I said it would be the most nervy end of season for us for years. I just hope it isn't between us and Plymouth come the last day of the season, but the best I think Plymouth will get from QPR today is a draw. Valium, anyone?
