Preston ahead against QPR which pulls them into the mix. Looks like Blackpool and Wigan going down with 1 from 5 joining them.
We've obviously got to win our own games rather than relying on others to lose, but there are some other fixtures tomorrow with huge trap door implications. Four of the main "contenders" play away at tough top half opposition. Blackpool are at Luton, Rotherham at Norwich, Reading at Preston and QPR at West Brom. Beating Sunderland tomorrow could effectively be a 6 point game in terms of the table. Yes, I know we've still got to go to Sheffield Utd, Watford and Burnley yet, but even if we mentally write off those 9 points, our other remaining games offer more than enough opportunities to stay out of that bottom 3. I reckon taking the 3 points against Sunderland an we'll be OK playing Championship football next season Interestingly enough we've never been in the bottom 3 this season so no reason to think we'll end up there.
Huddersfield 18% possession, 2 shots- 2 goals They’ll be safe by the time they play us - or even before then
Didn’t see Hudders dropping points nor QPR coming back from 2-0. Rotherham inching towards 50 points. Big thanks to a late PNE winner to salvage something from this bad day all round. Hate having to rely on others which we’ll seemingly have to looking at our run in.
Wish I hadn't written this - what a bummer! With Wigan, Blackpool and Reading all getting beaten, what a chance blown to put some distance between us and that bottom 3.
Burnley could hold the key to the trap door. Although we've got them on the final day, their next three games are against Reading, Rotherham and QPR.
Realistically, how many points do you think you will get from the final 6 games, and will it be enough? For me, Sheff Utd 0 Watford 0 Stoke 3 Rotherham 0 Huddersfield 1 Burnley 0 So, 4 points, which gives you 46, which I think might be enough, just. I think Reading will get 5 points from their remaining games. I only see QPR getting 1 point from their next 4 games, then their final home game is against us, and I see this being the decider of which of you goes down. What a day that could be.....
