Stick with my original prediction: us, Wednesday and Huddersfield - many Yorkshire derbies in league one next year
It's going to the last match for sure.Lots of twists and turns.If Brum beat Hudders they will be back out of the bottom three because I cannot see West Brom losing to Wednesday.Then the last match for Brum is Norwich at home, by which time the Canaries probably will have qualified for the playoffs.Owls go to Sunderland,who have not been playing well but will not want to bow out with a home defeat.I personally wouldn't put money on the outcome with Plymouth and Blackburn still not safe with their upcoming matches.No pressure on us this time round.
Looking at bottom 6 teams.
19 .... Blackburn ....... -16 ..... 49 pts - To play Coventry [H] - Leicester [A] - * 1pt
20 .... Plymouth ......... -11 ..... 48 pts - To play Millwall [A] - Hull City [H] - * 1pt
21 .... Sheff Wed ........ -29 ..... 47 pts - To play West Brom [H] - Sunderland [A] - * 3 to 4 pts
22 .... Birmingham ..... -16 ..... 46 pts - To play Huddersfield [A] - Norwich [H] -- * 1 pt
23 .... Huddersfield ..... -27 .. .. 44 pts - To play Birmingham [H] - Ipswich [A] -- * 1 pt
24 .... Rotherham Utd .. -53 .... 24 pts - To play Bristol City [A] - Cardiff City [H] - * 2 pts
* Points I think the teams will get.
Therefore Birningham City, Huddersfield Town, to join Rotherham United in league one.
Sheffield Wednesday to stay up with either 50 or 51 points.
I've said all along I think Wednesday will stay up (unfortunately) so it's Huddersfield and Birmingham for the drop for me.
Both those clubs have had relatively recent financial problems and Birmingham have ambitious development plans so it will be interesting to see how relegation impacts on both clubs.
Huddersfield v Birmingham is the critical fixture.
