Today will decide our fate for next season possibly. A win should make us safe, a defeat plus others winning puts the pressure on us, a draw will suffice if other results go our way.

Agreed. Lose today and we could well be deep in the relegation mire. If we lose and Wigan win, it would be a disaster, Millwall don't play as their game with Blackburn is postponed for FA cup reasons.


I am very fearful that we will get zero points from our last 3 games.

I imagine that will be the team talk with an attempt at some world class bus parking with dreams of an own goal winner at the other end. In fact we may as well not bother playing any strikers.

Of course, I very much hope we win, but we do have a tough run-in. We should be home and hosed but, remarkably, Tony stuck with the Clueless One about 8 weeks too long. If we lose today, the almighty ****-up that is relegation would be back on. Nightmare scenario.

It's Alright. I had an unexpectedly easy chance to go today, but decided to head back to London from Sheffield rather than go to the game. 4-0 win.

What are the chances of Steve Evans having an internal seizure if this happens?

or ...If we lose and Wigan beat Derby at home (unlikely but Derby are in freefall) then we'd be still be a healthy 7 points clear, or 8 points effectively if you include our GD, of the bottom 3 with only 5 to play...

I would love to stay up for this one, but work looms tomorrow, so up at 6am.
Think I can push it to watching the first half before I have to crash.
Hope I witness the only goal of the game for the Albion!
