    TBF we have already got the points so must have been playing well enough to get where we are ATM. I was talking to a mate yesterday and he was perplexed about. "We can't rely on other teams loosing". I find it such a strange comment.

    What a strange set of supporters we have. If we stay up it’s only cause others were crap or cheated and got points deduction. No if we stay up we deserve it.
    Strange bunch of people who think different.

    Of course we can rely on other teams losing but can you remember Derby the other year.They did their level best to go down by losing and losing and losing.The trouble was so did we,in the 88th minute at Cardiff and we beat them to it!

    In this particular situation you are mathmatically correct, that isn't the point I am making. It is said by another poster that QPR and Cardiff have gone from down and out to safe by winning a couple of games. The number of games you win over a season is the main driving factor, we all know that, we have won the fewest number of games in the league (jointly with the two relegated teams!!). My concern is that we don't look capable at the moment of winning a game of football, if you do that is fine, obviously you are seeing something that I am not. I hope we can lift ourselves to get the 1 point on Monday that will realistically keep us up, survival would be a great achievement for this season, but we have to learn to win 13 to 15 games a season to survive long term. Please do not take my comments as not wanting us to stay up, I do more than the last three times.

    With Warney I'm sure we wouldn't have gone up from league 1 without it being decided on PPG but same as this season however we stay up if we do we'll take it.

    If we stay up we have defeated the bookmakers all the pundits and the wage and transfer fee (what's that) structure for the league

    I don't think people really understand the achievement.

    WE DONT BELONG IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

    But we are.

    Wasn't it only last season people was using Blackpool as a template to stay In the league.

    There relegated before us

    I agree WLB....injuries have crippled us this season and that cannot be over estimated enough.For RUFC to stay in the Championship given the issues we have had,has to be an incredible achievement.MT has been patching up match day squads since the day he arrived.Then,during the January transfer window,he saw light at the end of the tunnel with the Chairman's backing,but the key additions got injured and so on and so on.He has never had a fair crack at the whip.

    One extreme is If Huddersfield only get at most a draw in their next two game we’re safe without anything from us…


    Totally opposite if Huddersfield get at least 4 points from them 2 games then they may ease off being safe and lose to reading and we lose to a promotion chasing team and a wounded animal..
