Believe me, they wouldn't have with the side they put out on Wednesday.0

Yesterday's performance emphasises why I have thought this is a relegation bound team since around Christmas time
Even during are early season good run we never dominated games and we have rarely done so all season. The win against Forest was bloody lucky and due to their managers poor team selection and they still dominated the game when you look at possesion stats and shots.2 -

Wednesday will be the interesting one as the punishment could be...massive.

Yes, I have mentally given us the three points!Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I suggest you contact Dom Cummings urgently. I hear he's recruiting ;-)Chizz said:I think once we decide we have enough points, we should be allowed to declare. And then, all the points we get after that point count towards next season's promotion challenge.
And, every team should be allowed to do the same. See who has the most bottle.1 -
I've a suspicion we'll struggle next Saturday, only drawing at best against Luton, leading to mass despair on here in the evening
But we'll then win at Wednesday to calm the nerves0 -

Plenty of games, results do not run with having total possession. Its about taking your chances in front of goal a lot of the time.1 -
Do people really think Derby, Wednesday and Birmingham will make up the 13 point gap to us when they are deducted 21 points each for cheating?1

Still think we will be fine, we are a point and 2 places further from the relegation zone than we were 2 weeks ago, with less games to go4

MuttleyCAFC said:I watched Luton v Sheff Wednesday and Wednesday are the worst side I have seen this season by some distance.
Derby have been the worst team at the Valley so far by a country mile, but it didn't stop them winning their next 3 home games.
Hardly any correlation between one match and the next for anyone in this league.
Couldn't face watching Quest last night but Barnsley winning 3-0 at Fulham sums up this bizarre Championship season.
Would be great if we could play the same team twice in a row as we might build up an understanding and partnerships.
Half full, half empty, or even smashed glass, perceptions of our final place by fans mean nothing BUT the real worry is we were so poor in the last 25 minutes against Barnsley - inept against Stoke - decent against Forest- poor against Blackburn.
This is the business end of the season and it's impossible to play the same team in back to back games ( even if we wanted too after a victory)

We have a shocking record against the teams around us. This needs to be rectified by not losing to either Luton, Huddersfield and Wigan.
A massive ask but if we were to win all these games that should ensure we stay up this season.
Then ESI can show us what they are made of.1 -
Luton's two wins will have given them a big boost but a home win on Saturday ensures they aren't much more than a dead cat bounce. We do have a poor record against the sides around us but we played most away first half of the season and we won the first big Six_pointer a couple of weeks ago. Win the second on Saturday and we'll be in a good position.0

Big game Saturday.0

Sheff Wednesday haven't scored a goal at home this year so far. Their next home game is against us.7

Play nicely, @golfaddick can tell a cracking tale regards his sexual exploits.

Think we are going down and Sheik yer money and co are gonna have to start from D3. We have some quality players no doubt but the sole reason we have those is because they are made of tissue paper or someone else paid their wages.0

I fear for our future in the Championship, the team are in a dreadful run even with the two recent wins, against Barnsley we were very lucky to keep the 2 goal lead, against NF we played a weakened team - neither win was encouraging in the way we played. We do not have a settled team that plays with confidence and as others have said we do poorly against the lower teams, we cannot rely on the likes of Brum being deducted points, it really is fight and I'm not sure that the management or the team have the ability to win this fight.3

We win on Saturday and it will all look a lot better. We lose and we are in real trouble.0

I would have rather they had showed us what they were made of in January so it wasn’t quite so arse clenching from here on inElfsborgAddick said:We have a shocking record against the teams around us. This needs to be rectified by not losing to either Luton, Huddersfield and Wigan.

It's going to be a battle but we've always known that. We'd all love a run of wins with convincing performances, but we don't need to be consistent to stay up. Winning once every three games until the end of the season (and losing the rest) would leave us with 48 points and that could be enough (Bowyer's own target is 47 points). We're capable of doing that if our better players stay fit.0

Four points minimum required from next three games (Luton, Wendies and Udders). Do that and I think we are set fair. Any less and we’re are in the deepest Doodoo0

As I said Luton were not on a roll.paulie8290 said:
Wouldnt call two 1-0 wins a bit of a roll, their 2 wins have come against 2 teams who are in freefall atm, yes its been 2 good wins for them but we are still 6 points above Luton.golfaddick said:

Why do we need to record back to back wins we have 36 points 4 more wins will give us safety with a couple of draws thrown in, we could win on Saturday then every 3rd game and I reckon that would be enough to keep us up lol.
Only once in the last 6 years has a team gone down with over 50 points
1 win down 3 to go
Keep the faith0 -
3 wins in 5 for us.
8 points from 5 games for Wigan.
2 wins in a row for Barnsley.
Middlesbrough look terrible.
Stoke just about keeping their heads above water.
Huddersfield in big trouble and a second straight relegation is very possible.
Hull and Reading have also now been sucked in after todays results.

Yeah wont be surprised if Wigan and / or Barnsley survive and one of the more regular Championship teams go down like Middlesbrough0

With 3 of our next 4 games against
Huddersfield, Middlesbrough and Hull2
