In terms of today though, I think 2-2 vs Wigan is excellent really as they won 8-0 a few days ago and have been on fire. It was the Reading and Brum games that fucked us.
Brentford losing today was massive. With Fulham still in with a chance of automatic, Parker can go some way to redeeming himself in the eyes of those who never forgave him by winning up there. They should be good for a point at least.
At the end of the day these are professional footballers, many of whom will want to appear in the premiership next season, or will have new contracts to play for, and this will be there last chance for them to impress.
I do not think this game will be a rollover at all. But Bowyer, as he always does, will set us up to compete.
The Leeds players will be professional of course BUT will they have that extra bit of desire that we should have? They won't want to miss the first PL game through a suspension for example
No reason why Blackburn won’t do a job on Wednesday. Finish as up high as possible and push on for next season. Blackburn are good at this level and wouldn’t want to play them on the final day.
Players will want to prove that they deserve a place in the Blackburn team too
Leeds will ultimately do the same
With the amount of players out of contract due to COVID this season, now is the time for players to truly show that they deserve a new deal if their current one is running down etc.
On the BBC match report after Sheff Weds lost to Foolham:
"Wednesday boss Garry Monk has previously said "it makes no sense" that the club are still waiting for a verdict over a charge of misconduct.
While there remains uncertainty off the pitch, the Yorkshire club's on-field exertions have earned them eight points from a possible 24 since the Championship's restart to keep them clear of relegation trouble."
Doesn't seem the Weds manager knows the verdict yet?
I think 46 points will be enough to stay up this season assuming Wigan get the points deducted.
You think we'll stay up even if we lose all our remaining games? No chance.
So you think Barnsley and Luton will get more than 46. I don’t.
I'm 99% certain Barnsley or Luton will get more than 46. Basically, you're saying Charlton need one point, to definitely be safe. I'd say you have a 10% chance of being correct.
Sorry Redrobo, I kept an eye out, as I couldn't believe we'd survive on 46.
Disastrous Luton winning. So near and yet so far the last two games.
Not at all. Now we know Hull can't catch us barring a 16 goal swing on Wednesday, so as long as we equal Luton's result against Blackburn or Wigan fail to beat Fulham we're safe. It's one less result to worry about to be honest.
Sorry but Hull are rubbish and would never have got anything at Cardiff. Now Luton and Wigan win and we draw we are down.
I think Fulham are our only hope. Personally think Wigan will win and Luton will better our result. Here's hoping Wednesday get a 12 points deduction.

I said I think 46 points will be enough to stay up assuming Wigan got their 12 point deduction. I also said I thought we would get more than that.
I didn’t think Wigan would do as well as they have and Luton have have had some outrageous results. Barnsley and Hull still haven’t got there and Wigan are on that with their points deducted so I don’t think my guess was as wildly out as the 10% chance you gave me, and if SW get the deduction they deserve I may end up right - but with no credit to me!
Did you think the points would be so low with one game to go?

Who the took the jam out of your doughnut!? Jesus! QPR had nothing to play for this week and they should have beat Luton! I watched the game! Blackburn are a good side!

Yes you said 46 points would be enough. I don't think anyone agreed.
As it stands Wigan would be relegated even though they already have 46 points, (including 12 point deduction), with a game to go.
Wigan, Luton & Barnsley were all in good form & picking up results, which is why no one agreed.
I thought we'd need 51 to be certain & possibly less.
I suppose that's still holds true, because if we beat Leeds we will have 51 & will be certain of escape.
I can't help thinking Luton may win & end on 51, so Wigan will need to beat Fulham & if they do we'll need to win as well.
Let's hope either Wigan or Luton lose or Sheff W get docked 20 points.
Shock horror Clinton Morrison thinks we'll be the third team to go down on Quest tonight
As pundits go, Clinton Morrison is down there with the worst of them. Inarticulate, clueless, and can say four or five consecutive things, each of which contradict what he'd said ten seconds previously.
Quite how he gets a gig on Sky, BBC, and Quest is beyond me. He must be in possession of a lot of incriminating photographs ...

Although there's pretty recent history between Leeds and Derby so we might be going to Elland Road not having a clue.

Only if Cardiff, Forest and Swansea gets a 12 points deduction.
