Toughest run in?

[earthworm]

Who's got the toughest run in of our rivals?

 

[Beasty]

Barnsley. But this might be a good thing for them, akin to our 7 points out of 9 recently.

Southamptons next two games are make or break for them I feel

 

[clusternakker]

Can't see Norwich or Plymouth getting much from those games, 5 points each absolute max

 

[RedDogChris]

Well Barnsley's does on paper but they are still capable of winning most all the same and still have games in hand of everyone else so they have more chances to pick up the points required.I think they'll be OK.

Tough to call. If we beat Barnsley their next 4 games look very tough. They could be in trouble.

 

[Jonathan]

Norwich have completely outplayed their opponents in recent games.

They dominated Birmingham for much of the game on Saturday and were unlucky to win. I think they'll be fine, especially with the choice they now have up front.

Barnsley have the hardest run-in, but I think Southampton can still survive provided they win their next two.

We have a relatively tough run-in, but I think we could be ok.

 

[RedDogChris]

And Plymouth will be in big trouble for the record if they go and lose at Blackpool.Another big if though

 

[Nick.]

Norwich, Barnsley and Plymouth have a tough run in!

How about this for a nerve-wracking and also highly plausable final-day scenario...

- We are 1 or 2 points ahead of Saints, in our current league positions.

- Barnsley and Plymouth are both 1 point ahead of us, and play each other.

This would mean that if we beat Saints, we would know we were safe. Whoever loses out of Barnsley and Plymouth would be down, or a draw would mean the team with the worst GD would be down.

If we're not out of the zone before the last match, we just need to hope that those 2 teams are the ones above us. Although Norwich have a very tough run-in, I think their team is just about good enough to stay up (surprised they're down here tbh, although they did have Roeder in charge I suppose!), but more importantly they play an already-relegated Charlton on the last day.

But how many times have we seen teams starting to pick up results when the pressure is off?

I remember last time we got relegated from the Prem we went to Blackburn and stuffed them about 3-0 to more or less seal their fate and take them down with us.

Whilst I agree with you to an extent, Charlton are an abomination of a side this year and I wouldn't want to be relying on them for anything.

 

[I Hate Derby]

simply norwich or plymouth because there not playing us

 

[mouldy]

Don't know don't care. All I know is all these sides are not great like ourselves and we have to get our points before we can consider how the other sides will fare. Especially since we are in the relegation zone now.
