So now it's between Millwall and Blackpool for the drop, depending on goal difference.

A win on Tuesday and we're in a great position. I think Blackpool, Barnsley and Yeovil will drop. I can't believe how millwall have turned things around.

Millwall v Doncaster is going to be a massive game - If Millwall lose that I can't see them picking up any other points - If Doncaster lose it, their best bet is a tough home match against Reading for any points. Barnsley have to get ahead of us in their next 2 games -(us and Leeds). If we win tomorrow- that can't happen. Yeovil are gone.

Anyone fancying us to go down can get 5/1 on skybet , insurance bet I suppose , soften the blow if we did go down.

Supposing we had enough points for safety before the last match, but 3 points for Blackpool would guarantee a drop for the Spanners. Would you want us to lose? I might.

I think a fair few Addicks would but personally I like to see my team win, even it is will be on a dodgy feed whilst on a Greek island.

For sure, easy decision for me.

As long as we are 4 points ahead of Blackpool before our last match against them, then we will be fine. Wouldn't want to be only 3 points ahead of them otherwise the goal difference can turn around quickly. We will win Tuesday night and draw on Saturday.

That would be great, I think Barnsley coming to The Valley having to win should help us as it may leave gaps at the back. It is more important that we don't lose. This game isn't all or nothing and a draw is not a disaster. Bolton have nothing to play for so hopefully we can get a result. Hopefully with the game being on a Friday and not a Saturday (when recently we always lose) will help.

Hilarious thread.

A couple of weeks ago Barnsley & Millwall were down, but Yeovil were a danger.

Then it was Yeovil & Millwall are down, but Barnsley were a danger.

Now it's, Barnsley & Yeovil are down, but Millwall are a danger :-)

That's why I'm still terrified. I think it reflects the way the league is the season more than the posters. Nothing is sure until the maths is done, which is why I think it's essential we beat Barnsley tomorrow. They are relegation escaping fiends, but if we beat them they need to overhaul an 8 point deficit with only 12 to play for; that's tough to get even assuming we lost our next 5. Same goes for Yeovil. It still doesn't mean any of them are dead in the water but it makes it less likely that they'll stay up at our expense. With them no longer at our backs we could focus on keeping another couple of teams behind us
