    I'd take a Derby win over Luton on Friday now too.

    4 games left.

    Here’s what the bottom three would need to do beyond matching our results to overtake us:

    Cardiff
    • Two extra wins; or
    • An extra win and an extra draw
    Luton and Plymouth
    • Two extra wins; or
    • An extra win and 3 extra draws

    If Luton lose to Derby and Cardiff lose to Sheff Utd - we can only drop into the bottom 3 after 45 games - providing we get nothing from our next two.

    I think one more win will do it.

    Even a draw is probably not good enough, cos given that GD they'd need 4 more points than Derby from the last 3 games against play-off contenders

    I think we’re at the stage now where any time in the bottom 3 losing is fine by us.

    I don’t care if Derby win and go above us - just keep (or increase!) that buffer to the bottom 3.

    Have to hope Sheff United respond back after a shaky bit of form.

    Hopefully Swansea with nothing to play for fancy condemning their rivals as well

    I think the thing with Sheffield United v Cardiff is - neither team are in good form. Hopefully quality will win the day.

    Good point I hadn't considered the Cardiff rivalry at all, hopefully they will just roll over for us, (they might have to score a few own goals to help us!!)

    It's mental how badly Luton have fell apart.

    Just shows how quickly it can turn to ****. From Prem to League 1 in a season!

    Think theyre insanely better off though
    They didnt waste it all on players

    Think theyre spending it really wisely for the health of the club

    New stadium etc

    Is that that wise though? Will they be back any time soon? On the other end of the spectrum, Forest overspent and took a points deduction but they won't be regretting it now.

    I do sometimes wonder if it's better to just ignore PSR and go for broke and if you get pinged when you're already up in the PL then who cares (like Leicester).

    I don't think Acun has the money to do that even with all his complaining about PSR constraining him.

    Yes it is wise

    Risking the future of the club like forest is not for me

    We almost went broke doing it ourselves

    Where would we be without the new stadium in 2002?

    And what do we have to show for all our prem years

    No new facilities
    Nothing
