Last 8 games

Can't see Wigan or Millwall getting another 10 points, One more win and you guys will be safe.

I agree with you; although, with our very good GD, one more win means Wigan would need to get 12 points from their last 8, which is very unlikely.

Just 5 days now until the Norwich match.

3 points for the albion and slip ups for Wigan and Millwall will bring the mathematical survival target down to 6 points.

I expect 49 pts to show a sign of improvement and to be safe. Wigan could escape with a record mimicking Sunderland last season or how Wigan finished last season.

I don't think they will, but they could*. I think we are track for 49 pts with getting 4 pts out of our games with Norwich, Bournemouth and Watford. We still have Huddersfield at home in case we slip up.

With that predictor I reckon we already have enough, but as relegation would be such a massive disaster, I still think we should aim for the magic 50 points until avoidance is confirmed. As of today the mathematical target is 57 points.

As long as we avoid 2 defeats over Easter, and beat Bournemouth or Huddersfield in the 2 following home games, then we'll pretty much be there.

Easter defeats for Wigan against Middlesbrough and Derby ( even if only by a poor goal ) would help.

We only have to match the results of Millwall and Wigan now. Even if we don't quite manage that (and I think we will) they've still got Rotherham and Fulham they can catch, more easily than they can catch us.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

We are in relegation trouble now for sure.

10 points from MATHEMATICAL safety, but with certain defeats looming against Middlesbrough, Bournemouth and Watford.

2 wins required from the matches against Rotherham, Huddersfield, and Wigan.
