    Tight but maybe Birmingham overall - both they and Derby have tough runs coming up now - assuming they struggle will they be able to recover when they play mid/lower table teams? Reckon it’s between us and Brum though, and come the end of the season the table won’t really lie - reality is we can play well from now til the end and still go down unfortunately. And we’ve got a lot of games to squeeze in. But we’ve absolutely got it in us to do it, hopefully Covid won’t damage us.

    harpo88, fair points but something tells me that Derby are no way out of this and it will go to the wire. Imagine Derby having to beat Weds on the last day of the season to stay up? If we're involved in that, it will probably be the only time in my life I'll be shouting Weds on.

    Both us and Coventry have the odds stacked against us as someone's nicked one of our games

    Already been pointed out on another thread, add it if you wish. It's not on the BBC Sports page hence why I missed it and left it off.

    You never learn

    Don’t expect the BBC to be factual and truthful

    Probably Birmingham but I am a little bit biased. Flip side, Coventry have a decent run in don't they. Fair play to them for points on the board considering who they have left. Or haven't as the case may be.

    Could be all over bar the shouting by the time we play Birmingham. I can’t see them getting any more than 2 points from their first 5 games. Hopefully we can pick up at least 6 by then. Beat them and we should be 4 points clear with them only having 4 games left to our 7.

    I'm going on the 'dead rubber' principle, that is how many games does each team have left against teams with nothing to play for. In my estimation the 'dead rubbers' are against from 10th (Millwall) down to 18th (Huddersfield).

    Derby 4/10
    Coventry 7/11
    Birmingham 3/10
    Us 6/14
    Weds 5/11
    Wycombe 3/10

    Barring a big upturn in form and as the bookies know, everything points to SW, Brum and Wycombe being gonners. Our games against Brum, Wycombe and Coventry (all at NYS) are all 10 pointers where 1pt from each would be great

    Think it will go down to the wire, at least we can hide behind the couch.

    I hope we don’t get reffed out of any of these matches, we seen it happen many times already this season
