Relegation battle

Wigan lost and Huddersfield drew their games in hand tonight

So we have a 7 point cushion over all the bottom 3 teams (all on 32 points) with everybody having 11 games left.

Game on

I know it's difficult but at this stage we have to try and remain positive. We are still in poll position to remain a Championship team and if we can average a point per game then we would almost certainly stay up. 

I have no doubt that Garath Ainsworth will be able to motivate those who want to play for the club but getting the likes of Balogun, Laird, and JCS, out of the nice warm medical room might be difficult. The trouble is that the 3 named players are probably all critical to us keeping a clean sheet.

The other results went pretty much as expected in relation to league positions, so us bucking the trend by beating a team 10 places above us was a real bonus!

The bottom 3 aren't scoring and aren't winning.

They were almost on just as bad a run as us before today's win.

I wonder if they will even catch 42 points that we have currently.

I'd argue we are safe after the results today, especially if we continue to perform with the levels of commitment shown today.

We also have the 'bad run' monkey off our back which was a big burden and harming confidence.

If we play like we did yesterday
We should pick up some more points anyway

Wether we stay up or go down will come down to the last 2 games I think

Neither Stoke or Bristol City will have anything to play for... If we have Chair, Paal and Willock back... Perhaps another defender

We might just get out of this mess... But I'm not confident
