    Surely Doncaster?

    Like I said though, if we are up tonight, I am going to Millwall to watch some French Leicester/Charlton reject (boo) send Millwall down

    Doncaster.

    Think Birmingham will get one or two points from their last two games, while Doncaster will lose 4-1 on the final day away at Leicester.

    I just have this sneaky feeling things are not as cut and dried as they seem.

    I made a thread yesterday going through the fixtures:

    forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/61640/remaining-relevant-championship-fixtures#latest

    I can't see Birmingham picking up any points from their last 2 games so I think it will be them.

    Would love Millwall to go down; expect that it will be Donnie though; still fearful it will be us. Bollox to this "a relegation scrap is exciting" nonsense, give me a safe mid-table berth anyway rather than this torture!

    Cant see Donny beating Leicester, even a draw will send them down (assuming Brum pick up a point)

    It all points to Doncaster but I'm sure that will change with some strange result or results happening.I keep thinking we are safe and then go into the odd panic moments that we are not.Would love millwall to go but can't see it and if not them Birmingham but I can't see that it either.

    Doncaster will go 1 up at Leicester I just know it, not sure it will end that way but if we are still involved last game they will go 1 up. If we are Safe by then Donny will be 3-0 down by half time.

    Doncaster, although it could be to Doncasters advantage that Leicester have almost nothing to play for. But I can see us picking up 1 point out of our games which should just be enough.

    I was looking at the table for the 100th time since Saturday evening and was worrying about this scenario.

    Doncaster.

    Can't see Doncaster picking up more points at Leicester than we will in two games against Watford and Blackpool.

    If the ref hadn't abandoned our game against Donny, and they had maintained their 3-1 lead to win, Donny would be safe now and we'd be very seriously deep in the brown stuff.

    It's gotta be Donny. Praying for a scenario that sees Millwall down in injury time, without giving us a heart attack in the process.

    Without wishing to sound morbid, if we lose tonight and Birmingham win i think everyone will have a very different outlook. Hopefully the outcome will match the percentage chance of that happening.

    Interestingly, the poll on a Millwall site showed this result:

    Millwall - 7%
    Doncaster - 63%
    Brum - 27%
    Charlton - 2%
    Blackpool - 1%

    Donny.

    If Leicester let Doncaster get a result on Saturday i will lose any faith in human kind.

    I can see us losing both games and staying up by virtue of Doncaster not beating Leicester or Birmingham losing both of theirs.

    Wigan have already done their best to screw us over. Beat us then lose at home to the Spanners and Blackpool. Wigan are now in my 5 most-hated list.

    I am hoping Kevin Phillips come on and do what he normally does and then give a good send off.

    Millwall - 7% SCS 8.7%

    Brum - 27% SCS 29.9%
    Charlton - 2% SCS 3.4%
    Blackpool - 1% SCS 0.7%

    Interesting how the Millwall poll is pretty close to the stats on sportsclubstats.com/England/ChampionshipLeague.html I've added these as SCS above

    If we draw tonight our chances of relegation drop to 1%. Even if we lose, our chances go up to just 6.3%. Now I know it will feel a lot worse but it will still need a very unlikely combination of results to take us down.

    I've bet on us to go down at 22-1 which will hopefully ensure our safety.

    Despite Pearson's best intentions and his dream of 100 points he'll struggle to put out a sober 11, not even Kevin Phillips can (quite) beat Donny on his own.
    Watford will be able to play in relaxed fashion tonight with one or two putting on a show for contracts and Riga's misapprehension that he has many footballers at his disposal will see the hornets cruise to a facile 1 or 2 goal victory.
    Holloway will have 'wall wound up to bursting point to inspire them to get at least a point from bournemouth.
    Needing anything from the Blackpool game will ensure mental collapse and physical capitulation from Charlton's threadbare squad. We rarely get anything from that windswept venue at the best of times.
    So Charlton's survival is in Birmingham's hands - Wigan's season has come to a full stop and Bolton have nothing to play for.
    Who do you suppose really has it between the ears in this situation Clark or Riga?
    Plus Birmingham have Macheda and Zigic
    Can anyone realistically see Birmingam gaining fewer than 2 points from their 2 matches?
