    win and we won't finish below them barring a disaster.

    We would be 6 points above them with at least a +10 Goal Difference meaning they would need 7 from their last 5 just to get above us and that assumes we lose the last 7 (which we won't). Even a really good end to the season (say 10 points) means we only need one more win to finish above the scabs.

    Draw is probably a better result for us than them. Lose and we are right back in the brown and sticky.

    And the best bit - Im at a bloody wedding in Malvern :'(

    Its funny how football changes week to week

    Going into the Blackpool game it was billed as a big 6 pointer, which i guess it was. The funny thing is, after beating Palace and getting a point at Derby and Forest's recent bad run, we now find we have traded places, got a better goal difference which is worth a point and are playing them next.

    3pts against Forest and we are all but safe i would say, they would only have 5 games left as you say and would need almost half the points

    A draw would suit us i feel, although we'd only have 2 home games left to really hit the big 50, but i fancy us to turn over either Swansea or Wolves, couple of points on road at Cov and Watford and we have pi55ed it.

    What a difference a week makes in football, after Blackpool we were in bottom 3 and couldn't see where next points were coming from

    Funny old game

    hopefully by the time we play Watford and Swansea they will have nothing to play for - Coventry certainly won't.

    2 more wins needed and I personally think they will come in the next 4 games - hopefully then a nice relaxed end to the season

    The past few weeks have been downright weird.

    Every time we win we look halfway safe, and every time we lose I'm convinced we're going down.
