With one of Luton and Hull winning, unless the Wigan deduction is overturned, if they lose at Cardiff it doesn't matter how we do (as long as Barnsley don't win tomorrow)
Of course: Charlton - Draw | Luton - Win | Wigan - Win would send us down, we'd be level with Wigan but their Goal Difference would keep them up over us
If Wednesday are to be docked anything big time then it surely happens on Monday or not at all this season.
They won't do a deduction after Wednesdays game's unless it's some shitty 6 point deduction where it makes no difference.
I think we need to look elsewhere for Wigan to lose or draw with Fulham and/or Luton lose to Blackburn or maybe just a simple win for us at Leeds.... That though would be a very large walk on water miracle!
I'm actually worried about the team that we put out next as Pearce looks crocked... Doughy was out on his feet and Cullen was definitely in a bit of pain..hope I'm wrong but.. .
I feel quietly confident that we can get a draw at Leeds. Yes Leeds will want to do a professional job etc, but the extra 10% of drive when you know you HAVE to win makes a lot of difference as Liverpool have shown.
If Wigan can beat Fulham and Luton beat Blackburn they'll deserve to stay up, but I'd be really surprised.
I suspect though that there will be some nervous moments before Wednesday evening is up

It’s gonna last an eternity ... but I remain positive as I have done all season
I hadn't realised Wednesday are only 8 ahead of us and 2 points behind Wigan, so a 12 point deduction could save Wigan as well which would be a perfect scenario really
I still remember the 98/99 season which went to the final day with us needing Southampton to lose (so the reverse to the position we're currently in)
If we can stay up this season it'll go some way to banishing those memories, be even sweeter if Sheffield Wednesday get punished as a result this time round

Even if Wednesday get a points deduction, there's always a chance of it being reduced or overturned so you'd still want it to be a scenario of Wigan or Luton depending on their deduction and not us

Edit
Just checked table again. That is wrong.
We'll finish above both of them
EDIT: disallowed. 4-3.
It’s three horse race providing Barnsley don’t upset Forest and Brentford.
Two simple scenarios left, only one needs to happen.
- If Wigan fail to win against Fulham, we stay up.
- If Luton fail (against Blackburn) to better our result against Leeds, we stay up.
Then, figuratively, Wigan are on 46 games if their points deduction holds.
And Sheff Weds, perhaps on 44 points if they get 12 point deduction. Come on EFL, do the right thing.
Agreed... Its virtually impossible for us to finish any lower than 22nd now
Equal or better Luton's or Wigan's results
Or Hope Wigan lose

Sheffield Wednesday get a 12 point deduction and everyone is happy.
We can play Naby up front on Wednesday and give the kids a run out.
