Could well be right. They will be desperate. Not many teams in their position will score 5 away from home in 2 games and come away with just 1 point. Will have killed a lot of confidence.

I call Rotherham draw, we draw or lose, enough to leave hope and fear respectively.

Just seen how poor Rotherham's home form is: W2 D2 L4 of the last 8.

They've even won less than us at home this season. Will be an epic turnaround for them to get past us now.

I was convinced Wigan would be caught

and at HT yesterday it felt "all over"

but that's the joy of football

Birmingham look safe, we look safe BUT

They are away to Rotherham, home to Wigan, away to us

If Rotherham win today, and Wigan get a point at Birmingham....
Birmingham would be on 48 points, GD -17 or -18 when they come to us

We could easily lose to WBA today and at Boro Saturday and be going into the last game on 45 points
with a GD of -18, or -19, or -20

It COULD still go to the wire. We might have to beat Birmingham by two goals...


If Rotherham DO win today, I can see them sneaking a win at WBA,
who, if they have beaten us, will be resting players...


Such a shame that points deduction wasn't 12.

Just to say I DON'T think this (the above) will happen, but at HT Monday
I thought Rotherham were escaping the drop at Wigan's expense

Villa 1 - 0 Millwall; Millwall remains at least 2 points back of RFC.

Hound Think they’ll be too desperate to win and screw it up. Brum are handy when they want to be. We’ll get a point and be safe

How can Brentford play like that and look utterly shite most of the season....
You would think they were third the way they played.

Just waiting for Leeds to bottle it again to give it back to some of their fans who have been giving it big to me all season.

Leeds will be fine, you've clearly forgotten they won the title in September.

Brentford are the 4th best team in the league playing at Home. Their problem is they are the 20th best playing away. If they had just been "average" away from home this year, they would be in the play-off hunt.

And even if they slip up, Leeds host 10-wins-in-a-row Villa the next day so can see them dropping points there to. Luckily for Leeds they go to Ipswich on the final day, else I could really seem them slipping to 4th place - they are totally shot.

With Leeds screwing up big time my next wish is for Sheff U. to catch Norwich and pip them for the title. Bloody hate Norwich, been giving it large for months now.

I don't know how anyone could hate a team as bland as Norwich?
