    Huge night

    Birmingham needs to win to get out the drop zone

    A Blackburn win would mean they are probably safe

    The loser of Hull v Boro is out of the playoff race, both are if they draw

    The door is wide open for Ipswich after last night, a win puts them top

    Both Stoke and Swansea would pretty much ensure survival with a win, the loser could be in trouble

    A West Brom win would almost guarantee playoffs

    Crazy league.

    Really enjoying watching the 'squirm factor' especially in the Championship.

    Sheff Wed are at home to Stoke on Saturday and sit three points behind them.

    Stoke are at Swansea tonight and home to Plymouth soon who are also desperate for points.

    Birmingham are at Huddersfield soon which could be a decider ...

    ... great fun all this.

    Aye, it's fun when you aren't involved. Will watch the relegation battle with a big bag of popcorn. Be hilarious if Stoke went down

    My preferences to go down are Birmingham and Plymouth but I think it'll be Sheff Wed and Huddersfield

    I'd like Brum to stay up assuming Mogga will be back in charge next season. Other than that, not really arsed. Sheff Wed is a great away game (and doable there and back in the day) so I'd be happy if they stayed up

    These are all on the SKY Red Button so I'll watch Stoke unless they're winning ...

    ... then I'll switch to Birmingham and hope they're losing.

    I hate them both <laugh>

    Stoke and Birmingham I want down. Always hated Stoke as a team, the Alex Neil thing just made it worse!! Always hated brum too. Arrogant entitled fans all of the ones I’ve encountered at away games down there.

    I’ll probably watch PSG v Barcelona tonight. Both teams in good form.

    Mathematically? No. But we are 500/1 to be relegated so that pretty much sums it up.

    Yeah the combination of results needed to relegate us is actually probably wiser odds than that!!
