Relegation Watch

[west stand oap]

We drop 2 places to 19th.

[WasRambo]

Not a perfect night, dropping places but at least no-one in the zone gained any ground so still 8pt buffer

Mansfield fans must be getting nervous...

Yeah we look worse off on paper but we're not really

Exactly.

[Winslow Lee]

Could do with Shrewsbury taking something off Burton this weekend with us facing the runaway leaders.

I've just noticed Peterboroughs game in hand is against Birmingham.

Hopefully it’s played before Birmingham have won the league.

[EB Claret]

Birmingham's last 4 games of the season;-

Crawley H
Burton A
Mansfield H
Cambridge A

So, after Saturday are we all Blue Noses?
I don't think we'll need their help, I reckon we'll be fine.

Would imagine the league is wrapped before those matches. They could well be on the beach do hopefully we don’t need their help.

I reckon our game at London Road will be iconic....maybe not in terms of relegation but in ensuring security (or as good as) for one or the other.
Can't wait.

What an easy run. They've been playing teams below them in the table all season...

None of the bottom 4 have so far averaged a point a game so in the unlikely event they now averaged 1.5 points a game the bottom 3 would finish on 43, 44 and 45 points. Burton would finish on 48 points so probably best if Shrewsbury take points off them tomorrow. In the early kick off I wouldn't mind Cambridge beating Peterborough, will probably watch some of this game before leaving for Sixfields.

I think that’s how the table will look 43 bottom 44,45,and 48 the other 3.
Like I said 3 more win makes us comfortable.

Why?

As much as I hate boro, they are not going down, so I'll reluctantly be hoping for a slugs win to keep Cambridge down there...

I prefer to have your biggest rivals in the same division as yourself. It adds a bit of extra spice to at least two games of the season.

This.

Having them in the same league and getting to play them (and hopefully beat them) is more fun.

Fŭck 'em. I'd rather be higher/better than them.

[west stand oap]

If Cambridge win they would still need another 16 points from 9 games to reach 48 points (5 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats) and I can't see them doing that. I expect Peterborough to survive but if they lose at Cambridge their fans will be getting even more worried than they are now.

[itsme]

Any games featuring 2 relegation rivals i hope for a draw ss that's dropped points by both teams
