Why does anyone think we can suddenly can get a win or two
We’ve won a poxy couple of games in 27 games
It’s not going to happen,we’re crap at home and we’ve got Burnley so call that 3 games to survive
2 wins in 3 games we will stay up
I just can’t see it happening with ainsworth crap tactics and poor team selections

I don't think we will win 2 games but it's really not impossible to.

We're not up against Liverpool, Man City and Real Madrid these next few weeks, we're playing 2 bang average championship sides, a team who are already up and on the beach and a Norwich side in woeful form.
This won't be the great escape if we pull it off, we really should be able to manage at least one win from these 4

Oh Dave... There was a guy on twitter a mere 3 games ago who was stating catagorically that we would stay up because of other teams points deductions... I'll tell you what I told him...

We're fucked 🤣

It's the hope that kills you

We could have done without the late Rotherham equaliser against Burnley, it means Burnley have to wait to clinch the title against us on Saturday, which they will be eager to do and motivated to do in front of their own fans.

We have shown tonight we can upset a good side, so we must recover quickly and do the same thing against Burnley!

Sadly neither Luton or Watford did us any favours!!

Can’t believe Watford not beating Cardiff at home
And I thought Luton would beat reading easily
We’ve simply got to match or better reading
They’ve got Coventry away
And we’ve got Burnley away
Both home bankers
So shouldn’t be no damage if we lose
But you never know with this mad league
But Huddersfield are far from safe and play reading final day
We may be reliant on that result

I don't think they are going down. Plus they have Wigan left to play. We are in deep, deep you know what!

Reading on paper won’t beat Coventry away
Wigan will have already been relegated when they play reading probably so they should beat them
The tricky one for them is Huddersfield away
Huddersfield will probably have to win also
It’s all down to us and winning against stoke or Bristol city
I think that will just be enough
But we have to win at least one game
Because reading will

Here are all the run ins

Interesting quirk of the fixtures is that Huddersfield don't play this weekend due to their opponent Sheffield United being in the FA Cup... so we play twice before Huddersfield play again.

It gives us a change to put some real pressure on them (not that we will take it!)

With Cardiff suddenly rejuvenated
If we can get a win or a draw in our last 2 games
I think the Huddersfield v reading game could have everything riding on it
If Huddersfield don’t beat Cardiff or sheff United
They have got to win their last game
Reading also will have to win not knowing the result of our Bristol city game
If it’s a draw with Huddersfield v reading we could be safe somehow depending what our stoke result is previously
It’s going to be a crazy last few games
I just think reading will get 3 points against Wigan and that’s what is the one we all want Wigan to win

Got this analysis from Wales Online:

Data experts FiveThirtyEight have drilled down into the numbers and have offered up the percentage chances of where Cardiff will finish in the table come the final whistle on May 8. They state there is a four percent chance Cardiff will finish 22nd - in the drop zone - a 17 percent chance of them narrowly avoiding the drop in 21st place, a 19 percent chance of them finishing in 20th, a 25 percent chance of them finishing in 19th, while there is a 34 percent chance of them improving as far up the table as 18th.

So, compared to their rivals, this is the exact chance each endangered club is facing with regards to relegation to League One.

Likelihood of relegation

Rotherham - 2%

Cardiff - 4%

QPR - 4%

Huddersfield - 28%

Reading - 65%

Blackpool - 98%

Wigan - 99%

Rotherham still very much in the mix.

It’s going to final day
Will just be typical QPR
It’s all about Wigan in my opinion
Wigan beat reading we stay up no matter what
Wigan beat Rotherham who play boro previous game and possibly won’t get nothing from boro we stay up
Huddersfield also did have a hard away game at Cardiff but they can relax now
But Huddersfield have got sheff United who are now in party mode and probably won’t need to beat reading
Tonight’s result is significant as Huddersfield get a easier game against Cardiff
It’s simple we need a win at stoke on Saturday and that will end all fears of a nervy last day

Not really but it was better one won. Now Rotherham have to get a point in the final 2 games to catch us. It keeps one of them below us and needing points.

Blackpool and Reading are who we need to focus though as per preview show breakdown.
