    Judging by birminghams next 2 games they should be safe. Probably favourites to win both and if they do that's job done for them. Exactly the same scenario for us. The next game for everyone is huge though. If we all win and Blackburn lose that's probably game over for them, on the other hand we could all lose, they could win and it's wide open again. As it stands though we're 4 points clear, it's in our own hands now and we shouldn't have to rely on other results. Let's hope we can give old hollow head a thrashing

    ROD SAYS 7 PTS CITY 7 PTS BLACKBURN
    if we are to get another 7 points then Blackburn need 11
    to get 7 points is 1 win and 4 draws 2 wins and 1 draws 2 options
    to get 11 points is 3 wins and 2 draws 1 option

    According to the bookies Blackburn are 2/7 to be relegated while we are 9/1. That does suggest that the unbiased believe it is very close to being over. Hopefully Friday's results will see us widen the gap.

    Our home form is the key
    If we win all of our home games we could afford a defeat at Blackburn, and I cant see us getting much from Brighton now they are in pole position to claim the title.

    And they might give some younger players a run out just to take a look at them for next season. It will be what it will be and if we had been better run ourselves the need for this discussion would not be needed. A poor season could become even worse and a win against QPR would go a long way towards survival.

    Unlikely as it's their final home game - so they will want to sign off in style, plus its also highly likely they will still be going toe to toe with Newcastke for the title. I expect us to lose by 3 down there.

    THATS ALWAYS THE BIG PROBLEM last home game promoted and wanting to be top dog perm any one from three .OH they may actually be able to do all three ... bu****
    It is being promoted a chance to either:-
    showcase "talent" they will be moving on, or, showcase youngsters
    Give the fans a championship send off
    late edit I think a win for Brighton and a loss for Huddersfield ties it up

    I've got one correct so far, but on a plus side I expected us to slip up over the weekend so I'm in the black at the moment :)

    We win v Barnsley on Saturday, Blackburn lose makes 7 points ahead with 2 games to play...........we stay up deffo.
    We win v Barnsley on Saturday, Blackburn draw makes 6 points ahead and we stay up unless Blackburn can overcome a massive goal difference and win both remaining games and we lose both games.
    If we don't beat Barnsley, then it is down to the wire.......

    Lots of Villa fans want Blackburn to beat them so Brum go down instead.

    With Forest playing QPR and Birmingham losing, are we safe yet? My head hurts trying to work out the combination of results that would send us down - JGF????
