    Shrewsbury is a good shout but they surely will struggle in this league. Despite having a great turnaround this season, I think Plymouth have now missed the play offs, but as a northerner I cant say that Im disappointed that they and Portsmouth have blown it and thats why I wouldnt mind seeing Charlton do the same.
    Making you wait till Sunday IS cruel. The more you look at the final fixtures, the harder it becomes to make a prediction. If it's anything like last season, it will probably keep changing even during the course of the games!
    Only Bolton have a fixture that looks comfortable, but too much would have to go their way in all the other games, surely.
    It's as if the league-computer has set the matches up for tension, as the clubs playing you, Reading, Birmingham and Burton have ALL got plenty to play for!
    As for your Saturday afternoon, I should have thought it was obvious: head for Ewood!

    If Blackburn played just down the road from me here in Cas (where Champs lives lol), then yes Id pop along to see them on the occasional free Satdy.

    We had this horrible situation at Huddersfield on the last day of 2012-13, them and us and Peterbrough were all involved in the final day scrap to stay up. We both decided to settle on the 2-2 with quite a few minutes left, because we knew Posh were losing 3-2 at C.Palace.
    I cant describe the stress and eventual elation and relief we all felt that day when we finally knew we'd done it, and what makes it hard is I know we're going to have to go through it again this Sunday. Im guessing its going to go one way and the other, like a good old fashioned game of swingball at christmas.

    Acido - that was even more cruel than our relegation last season. You were safe with three minutes to go of the Bolton game, and then...

    Well.. Not quite the same.. We had done our bit when we went down, Barnsley were thrashed so couldn't really complain.

    Not really cruel to be honest Aucks, our players were a disgrace and they simply refused to turn up again. Derby coasted to the win and played like their lives depended on it, and we sacked our garbage coach about 20 minutes after the full time whistles.
    Burton & Bolton caused all the excitement and I think a lot of neutrals would have liked to see Burton stay up.
    We're taking relegation on the chin anyway (like we have to of course, theres nowt else we can do about it), but its given us a chance of starting from scratch again and yourselves and Wigan have shown what can be done.
