    2 wins will keep us in this league - it's still in our hands!
    Almost every team up to Ipswich has to play another in the bottom 10.
    Wolves v Burnley and Peterborough v Wednesday next week are interesting ones - away teams can secure safety leaving the home teams with tough trips to playoff teams on the final day.
    If Ipswich and Burnley both lose next weekend then one of them could well go down - they play each other on the last day.
    Millwall can secure safety by beating Blackburn on Tuesday - this would leave Blackburn with 2 tough games and morale surely battered, so they become favourites for the drop IMO.
    If Blackpool were to lose next weekend and we won then they would be 1 point ahead of us with a nightmare trip to Bolton on the last day.

    Next Saturday is crucial - win and I think we'll stay up.

    6 points and we will stay up for sure
    4 points should do it but not guaranteed
    3 points probably not enough unless results really go our way again

    Any less than 3 we are down for sure as our goal difference is effectively a half point deduction

    3 points needed against Hull but 1 might be enough though that would mean we have to win at Huddersfield and their home form has been quite good recently

    One big plus at least we have a whole week to recharge before the next game and the last one

    not that easy though, our goal difference costs us a point

    It will go to the last game and while I think we'll draw next week a win should almost secure our status. Somebody is going to bottle it and drop; Blackburn maybe.
