Our goal difference is so crucial

Fair play QPR. 
I never saw that result coming

Charlton | Stoke | Huddersfield all lose their next two games

Please let this be the week where we hear news of a nice juicy points deduction to Sheffield Wednesday. The cheating bastards can't get away with this one, surely.

Really, if Wigan are getting -12 because of administration, the punishment for Wednesday ought to be more as they deliberately tried to gain an advantage and broke the rules. I can't see more than -12, but it would be beautiful if they got handed say a 16 point deduction. With that, we'd be 6 clear of the bottom 3 with 5 to go.

Sky Sports studio after Swansea Sheffield game today said they believed the outcome would be decided this week

Didnt they say that last week?

Leeds fans will be delighted with Barnsley, Huddersfield, Boro and Hull looking like relegation candidates. Must be some appeal for them to allow a local rival to be relegated by playing the kids on the final day.

Tried a few permutations to see how interesting it could get going into the final week of the season at either end of the table, and for the play-offs.

Take 12 points off Wigan to throw them into the mix too. 

Dont... Just dont!! - that sounds awful

In 1990 Swindon Town won the Second Division Play Off final to win promotion to the top flight but were found guilty of financial irregularities and demoted to the Third Division. On appeal the punishment was reduced to foregoing promotion and they stayed in Division Two.

Sheffield have been charged with, essentially, financial irregularities so surely a precedent has been set with automatic relegation?

Wigan has gone into administration and the world and his dog knows that a 12-point penalty follows such an event so the Football League had no option but to announce it with caveat around the season in which it will be applied.

In the case of the Massives maybe the FL are waiting until the end if the season to announce verdict (guilty) and sentence (relegation) so as not to influence how the remaining matches are played out?

Or maybe I'm giving the Football League too much credit and they're going to display that they've got no backbone and instead hand out an inconsequential points penalty that stops short of sending Wendy down.

Herbie Kane out for the season according to McCann on BBC Humberside

That is fucking terrifying 

I wouldn't expect Barnsley / Luton to get that close to everyone else but wouldnt be surprised if 22nd to 18th end on the same number of points

You think it is likely we are going to concede 8 more than we score and Luton are going to score 6 more than they concede in the next 4 games, and we are going to draw one and lose 3 and Luton are going to win 2, draw 1 and lose only 1?

Us scoring enough goals is really going to be a problem 

Well it could be worse. We could've gone down a couple of weeks ago via PPG!

That table would be bloody brilliantly for the neutral. I’m sure we’ll be on at least 49 going into the final game. 

All I know is that before the weekend I thought we would need 53 or 54 points to stay up. Now I'm with Bows......50 might just do it. 51 to be absolutely safe.

1 win & 2 draws.
