    An interesting scenario will unfold on Sunday.
    Usually promotion/relegation issues are set on the back of one teams result, but on Sunday there is the probability that for Forest, Blackburn and Birmingham, the results of the other 2 sides are of equal importance.

    Forest could WIN or draw or lose and be relegated
    Forest could LOSE or draw or win and stay up
    Blackburn could WIN or draw or lose and be relegated
    Blackburn could LOSE or draw or win and stay up
    Birmingham could lose or draw and stay up
    Birmingham could lose or draw and be relegated.... and the only definite is if
    Birmingham win they stay up.....

    It could be quite an afternoon at Ashton Gate- just thankful that Bristol City are not part of this equation.....
    but the Birmingham fans will have to undergo the full range of emotions

    We very nearly were.Imagine if Brighton had beaten us and by a few goals.

    there is times in a season when all teams have an off day or a purple patch .....
    had Brighton STILL BEEN in danger of being in play off's and not guaranteed promo ?
    now they face an away game to win the championship ! safe they go up anyway!

    Yes, but we very nearly won some of the games we lost too - Derby, Sheffield Wednesday........

    In the bottom 10 teams city are top scorers on 60
    Wigan and Rotherham on 39
    GOALS CONCEEDED
    Rotherham 97
    CITY 65 only Florest 72 and Rotherham worse

    SINGLE FIGURE gd
    WOLVES 53 - 58 - -5
    CITY 60 - 65 - -5
    IPSWICH 48 - 55 - -7

    half the teams ( 7 ) above us (of the14 ) scored less
    but only 3 in the league conceded more!

    I hope Junior fields an unchanged team rather than the youngsters just to be fair to Blackburn but not so fair towards forest! What Huddersfield did last week stinks making 10 changes and Birmingham getting a rare win, our bumper crowd wants to see a bumper win!

    Must admit, I'm with you on this one-Nothing wrong with putting some on the bench and giving them 20-25 minutes maybe especially if results then dont hinge on it

    I can see Forest beating Ipswich and being safe, but I can't see Blackburn winning at Brentford or even getting a draw there, so they'll be down with Rotherham and Wigan and our result wont matter to Birmingham at full time.

    Hope Forest do stay up- Nothing personal, just have a few mates that do follow them

    In just 8 days, City have progressed from being a bridesmaid and party poopers to being involved in decisions on divorce proceedings.
    What a meteoric rise......
