From those Monday fixtures, I can see Derby losing at WBA, Brizzle beating Luton, Oxford drawing with Cardiff and Plymouth losing to Cov, while we pick up a crap 0-0 point.
Basically, we need to beat Derby. If we win on Monday, we can afford to draw next week as long as we get something at Portsmouth. If we lose on Monday, and don't get a win on Saturday, we're pretty much ****ed. In more ways than one.

If we go down, the club is ****ed. People will start to appreciate our League One title under McCann and Ehab a lot more. The Turk is driving this club off a cliff.
 
Can we just get to the sheer facts & stick to them, we have 2 more points than the last relegation place & a much better goal difference.
We can’t affect other results from other teams & other games, no matter how much wishing, predicting & saying what we need to do!
We can only affect our own games!
We win at least 1 game, we should be safe, if we lose all 3, we will most likely be relegated, if we draw all 3, we should be safe!
That’s all we have to do, forget other results/teams & concentrate on our game on Monday, not the Derby game on Monday, or the Derby game on Saturday, but the game against Preston on Monday afternoon at 3pm!

How do you think we will do?
 
Norwich didn't help our cause earlier today. Leeds maybe are.

Our magic number (as of half-time in the Oxford/Leeds game) is 52 points. That's 2 wins + 1 draw, providing there's not a 16 goal difference swing in Luton's favour.
Not getting any easier is it ?

I think it’s worth remembering that if we somehow get one victory in our remaining games - all of Derby, Cardiff and Luton will need to win 2 of their last 3 to go above us. Considering their form and fixtures I think that’s unlikely. Plymouth would need to win all 3.

It’s really easy to forget because we’ve been so poor recently, but we are really close to survival now. If results do go our way on Monday we could be almost there, we could even be safe if we draw our next two games.

It’s the sticky bit at the end of the season but A bit of luck and some solid defending (which we have seen in the past few games, despite disappointing in attack) would see us limp over the line…..just.

In fact, if we beat Derby we’ll be outside the bottom 3 going into the last day regardless of what happens on Monday.
