There are five us in danger of that third relegation spot...

...and we've all got our future in our own hands. Assuming there are no cricket scores.

If we beat Huddersfield we're guaranteed safety as our superior goal difference will take us above Huddersfield.

If Peterborough beat Palace they are guaranteed safety as their superior goal difference will keep them above us.

If Millwall beat either Palace or Derby they are guaranteed safety as their points total would exceed what either us or Peterborough can achieve.

If Wednesday beat Middlesbrough they are guaranteed safety as their points total would exceed what either us or Peterborough achieve.

If Huddersfield draw or beat us they are guaranteed safety as their points total would exceed our points total.

Every club with their future in their own hands. Every club can guarantee their own survival. But something has to break, because we play Huddersfield.

 

Bizarre innit ?

 

Or really boring, I can't make my mind up.

 

It's a head screw and the weekend can't come quick enough for me

 

You going Saturday ? Lunchtime KO means no go for me, so 2 hours of shaking like a shitting dog.

 

Why, what on earth will you be eating?

 

Nowt, it'll be Nerves Nutkins.

 

One thing I keep thinking, is that rarely in these situations does the bottom 3 remain the bottom three at the end of the game!

We know we have to win to get out of the bottom 3 (well, a point might be enough) - the other clubs are all in a position where they could lose and still stay up, we can't!
Thinking of when we last went to Huddersfield, 1-0 down from 1st leg of Playoffs, there was no other option for us than to go and attack, same applies this time as well. The more I thought of that 2nd leg at the time, the more I thought it was better going there a goal down than a goal up because we seem to be awful when we play to hold on to something. Same applies this time, we have no option but to go there, attack and try to win the game.

 

I agree

 

Agree, think it's turned out not too bad considering.

Could have mind ****** us knowing just 'not losing' would be enough - this team seems better when they are at it from the off needing to attack.

Would have liked Wednesday to have done us a favour on saturday but there you go.

 

Dunno, someone was going down to get us tickets this morning. Don't know if they got them or we sold out before they got there. Can't get in touch until this evening to know either way.

My own fault if they were sold out. If I was that desperate to go I would have got them ages since. I really didn't want to go to Huddersfield with us already relegated. But with us still in with a chance I was up for it. Fickle fan? Too right. If I haven't got tickets then someone who was prepared to back us when we could have already been relegated or someone who had a bit more faith will be there in my place. I think that's only fair.

 

It's not a ground I enjoy going to. Thoughts of that shower relegating us and Robins' smug half grinning moon face would just tip me over the edge.

Going to be a magic ******* week this.

 

Can't get there. I'm expecting a pitch that you wouldn't plant potatoes in and opposing tactics similar to Washday. I'm bricking it...

 

Wonder how we will play if Palace score a couple early on.

Play for draw which can be risky (although Huddersfield may slack off) or go for it and leave gaps.

Glad I'm going to have had a couple of beers

 

Can't remember the last time I was this nervous about anything.

Proper babbing mesen.

 

One point will do it because Peterborough will lose to Palace. #ismyguess

 

Although i fear with our first goal win/lose situation, we will be hoping for a favour if Huddersfield score first.

 

I just have an awful feeling both ourselves and Peterboro will draw

 

First of all, on New years day I would have broken your arm off for this scenario.

Secondly, I don't reckon we can predict the results of these matches unless we cover every possible outcome. Any of the 5 could drop.

Thirdly I'm pretty certain a late goal somewhere will change things round in the last 5 or ten minutes.

Finally, I've never been more nervous for a game.
