League one games tonight.

Yeah Oxford picking up a few red cards / injuries to some of their key players would be a bonus.

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

It's actually mental that we are still only 9 points off of the playoffs. Everyone was talking about it being unreachable not so long ago, when in actual fact it was very much achievable. Slightly frustrating.

 

[mattitouk]

Dropped 2 places tonight. :sad:

Could have been worse.

Lose against Oxford & everything will look different from our eyes.

and why’s that?

Yes, if only they let us play seven more games than all the other teams we could be in sixth place.

Think we've done OK this season, in the end. Yes, the play-offs are only 3 wins away, but relegation is only 3 defeats away.

I'll settle for where we are and some excellent wins recently, as well.

Quite optimistic about next season under SCP with a bit of fine tuning and a couple of clever purchases.

It's still all to play for at the bottom of the table with I think 2 places up for grabs. There's been only 3 good sides in the league and the rest pretty average at best and very inconsistent. With the fixtures left it's quite feasible that MK Dons and Rochdale escape and someone like Oxford or even Bradford drop. 53 points still may not be enough.

Well, in that case let's hope we do our best on 21st to prevent this happening.

Relegation is not 3 defeats away, unless you know something about us going into administration!

We are 11 points clear of Rochdale who occupy the last relegation place.

Bradford are on 53 points now with 7 games left. They are on a bad run but there is no way they will be relegated

It's very very unlikely but with just 1 win in 13 if they lost their last 7 Rochdale MK Dons and Walsall would all gain 3 points on them. And stranger things have happened.

If we were on 44 points at the moment we'd be concerned about relegation was the point I was making.

It's not a literal figure.

 

[Barling Magna]

We are 11 points clear of Rochdale who occupy the last relegation place.

....... and have a game in hand.....

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

So, I'm confused now. Are we safe from relegation or are we going down with Bradford? :cry:

 

[Barling Magna]

Or are we bridging taht nine point gap to scrape into the play-offs....? :smile:

[bess30]

Haha relegation chat again!!!! It’s near on impossible

 

[Firestorm]

If we were to lose all 5

MK after beating us would still need 9 points from a possible 12
Rochdale would still need 12 points from a possible 18
Oldham after beating us would need another 7 from the other 18 possible
AFC Wimbledon 8 from 15
Walsall 7 from 18
Oxford after beating us would need 4 from 12
Donny 4 from 21
Gills 3 from 15
Bradford will be safe if they beat us

I reckon someone may well drop with 51 or 52 points, but I imagine we are going to do enough over the next 5 games to at least finish above Bradford (in free fall) MK and Rochdale.

But what about the play offs? :winking:

well as you asked :raspberry: I cant see us winning all 5 , but if we were to , I don't think 68 points would be enough
