7-1 to be relegated with most bookmakers. Don't think we'll go down, but those are fairly generous odds given our current (lack of) form.

Stuck £20 on it a couple of weeks ago at 10/1. At the very least will soften the blow a little if it does happen.

The way things are going at the mo', you really do have to wonder where our next point's coming from. Let alone win. How ominous could 14 April be?

i have been seriously considering a bet at 7/1 but think we will be saved by the awful form of a few of the teams below us. We will probably just stay up.

If Stam stays I will continue to boycott games next season too.

To go down, four abject teams need to over take us. Not that long ago it looked like Bolton and Birmingham would cruise past us. Hasn't happened.

I'll take points on the board and a much better goal difference any day of the week. It's been a month and basically we've got no closer to the zone. I think we'll squeek by ok, but it'll be nervous for a fair while yet.

We just drew with Forest and Derby, why would you be wondering where our next point is coming from? Wolves have been dropping plenty of points recently and we gave them a good game last time, Bolton have been shitter than us over the season so far and Leeds have had an abysmal 2018. We could get a draw against any of them. I think there's a pretty decent chance we can get somewhere between 2 and 6 points out of the next three games, I don't understand why you can't see where the next single point could come from.

On presnt form i can`t see one team worse than us let alone three , having said that nearly all our final 6 home games are against mid table or bottom half sides. but then again so were Burton and Birmingham. if we are going to stay up we need to sort out the home form because the remaining away games are pretty daunting.

Yes anyone who thinks we are staying up is sadly deluded or hasn’t seen us play.

Which is why us having a 4 point cushion is so important. If we were already in the zone we'd be utterly fooked. We're not though.

As for a team in worse form. If you consider the fairly standard six game form, then currently Wednesday, Burton, Forest and SUnderland are all as bad if not worse. 5 games were' joint bottom with Sunderland admittedly

The way I see it, we're currently 1 point behind schedule. Say the extremely likely happens and we lose to Wolves, that puts is 2 points behind but with one of our hardest runs of games over and a couple of important, but in theory easier ones to come.

Really got to back the side against Bolton at home.

There are 36 points still to play for. We are 4 points above 22nd. If we continue to play like we did on Tuesday night, then yes, we are going down.

I hope not, though rather fear we may. Every time we play I'm resigned to disappointment - though I hope against hope we aren't about to undo decades of solidifying the club.

I was optimistic until I saw the remaining away games. and we are bound to drop some points at home . Portsmouth ,Oxford and Bristol Rovers would be fun but the rest of League 1 looks like a right bag of uninspiring dross. :cry:

Can't agree with the sentiment there, Ian.

First, altho we were OK at Forest (first half) (a team who were on a terrible run when we played them)
we were, apparently abject second half and should have lost.

Though we got that 3-3 v Derby (some decent attacking play) we were a joke at the back,
and it's that (being a joke in defence) that is the real worry.

But last night, criticisms like pub team DID apply. We were ridiculous in defence
and should have been 3-0 after ten minutes. It's true to say we could have ship 6-7
goals.

We LOOK LIKE a relegation side. No pattern, players are scared, misplaced passes,
no real fight or passion, too many injuries... IT's GETTING WORSE

That's why 7-1 or 9-1 (I saw last night at 11:30) is a very decent bet.

Maybe (MAYBE) we will get a surprise draw at Wolves, but if form applies and we lose
3-0, then lose 0-1 to Bolton (very, very possible) we will have thrown away a four point lead
been passed by Bolton, and maybe Hull and/or Barnsley.

ATM, at best, I could see us 4th bottom, but we have a team that's disintegrating IMO
