I cant see why people want Hull to get a draw.......let alone a win.
You need 3 clubs to be below you after 46 games. Currently we have 3 teams below us. Therefore if they all lose their remaining matches then they can't catch us even if we lost all ours. Obviously some maybe playing each other & if do then you'd probably want those games to be draws.
And, if Wigan beat Hull they still have to beat us (after their points deduction) to go above us, therefore it's still in our hands.
No way do we want Hull to get any more points. At all.
Wigan to beat Hull... Wigan I feel needed four points from their four games prior to Fulham on the last day to recover the 12-pt deduction, the Barnsley draw scuppered that, failure to win tonight and I think they're gone
Luton to draw with QPR... Of course a win for the away team is the best result but they've been awful and dont see it happening
Sheffield Wednesday to beat Huddersfield, even if the former are given a points deduction I still think they're too strong a side and would get out of the bottom three anyway, Huddersfield on the other hand will surely be safe with a win now
Surely you want a Hull win then?
Sorry I worded that really badly as I always do
I think Wigan are gone now, they needed the 12-pts from these four game prior to the Fulham game... Because of the Barnsley draw I think they are gone
If Hull lose and we win tomorrow then thats them both four behind us, think anything other than a Hull win tonight dooms both Wigan and Hull
Barnsley I'm afraid are down, Saturday against Wigan was their last real hope of closing the gap enough to pinch a win - Of course we suddenly cant rule out Luton, I was a bit dismissive of them last week but regretting that a little bit now... Worst case tomorrow we draw which puts us above Middlesbrough and Huddersfield (I hope) meaning we just have to match their results for two games
If Wigan beat Hull and us, they'll be on net 48 points before Fulham, so still with a great chance of staying up especially if we don't win tomorrow as their GD is good
Even if we beat Brum to go onto 49, if we lose to Leeds, a draw against Fulham will mean they overtake us
But then will we be above Huddersfield and Middlesbrough?
Both of them have challenging fixtures: Sheff Wed | West Brom | Millwall for the former; Reading | Cardiff | Sheff Wed for the latter
I think if we can get three points tomorrow and go above those two then I think we'll stay above them
I was commenting more on the Wigan perspective, as I still feel they can stay up

Wigan are effectively below us as well. The 12 point deduction gives them only 42 points. A draw would make it much harder for Wigan to overtake us AND still leave Hull below us on GD.

Yes but we still have to play Wigan......dont lose to them & we stay above them. I wouldn't want go go into the last game relying on our GD to keep us up.......knowing that we were at Leeds.
Hull need 2 points from their final two games to over take us if we do not get any more points. A draw for us tomorrow would mean they have to win one of their remaing games.
Bet Luton can't wait to play hill now... Feck me you couldn't in all seriousness write this script... Not sure if I should laugh or cry and yet by some miracle we still have a chance to get out of this.
I really hope LB is watching the Wigan game and thinking feck! I better go for it tomorrow.

That's one 6-pointer match that ain't gonna end in a draw.
Is it all going to plan so far tonight?
hull getting smashed.
Hull almost in a unrecoverable position you'd think after this
