    The gulf in quality between these sides just emphasises for me what a brilliant job the ownership and management at Millwall have done, to get them where they are 
    Ipswich regularly pay 15/20 million for players and they’re not even the biggest spenders in the championship. That’s the sort of spending clubs of our size have to compete with.

    Ipswich's depth is absolutely ridiculous for this level. They're bringing £15-20m players off the bench who would walk into everyone else's starting 11.

    Pompey and Oxford are both down for me. I think Leicester will get enough points to stay up

    Fair play to Frank Lampard, never thought he would make a decent manager but Coventry look nailed on now.

    A perfect scenario for Coventry today, knowing their rivals have already dropped points. What an atmosphere there must be in the away end tonight, the sort of evenings you dream about as a fan.

    Still 7 games to go. Many more twists and turns to come. Anyone from 50 points down is still in it - including us (even if it’s likely we will get the 2-3 points we need)

    We're 9 clear of the drop zone. That’s 9 clear of Leicester. Their next two: Preston (h) and Sheff Wed (a) on Easter Monday.

    Pompey v Oxford and Blackburn v West Brom on Easter Monday - so guaranteed points won (and dropped) by those beneath us.

    We'll need to get something in our next game at home to Bristol City, to avoid being viewed as the candidate club to drift down from the pack.

    But then there’s the argument there’s minimum 2 teams there who won’t pick up maximum points which in reality is what is needed if we are going to get caught. If we exclude those bottom 3 teams besides wednesday and just look at Blackburn and Pompey below us they’re only on track to hit 50 points based on PPG. So even at current rate 1 win in 7 where 1 game includes Wednesday we’d be safe. That’s not even taking into account Oxford, West Brom and Leceister below them.  

    We’re fine we need to stop worrying about relegation and think about how on earth to put the ball In the opponents net

    I'm bored at work so made up a table of remaining games for teams around us, number of points and league table position of the opponents they are playing.

    Updated. PNE drops out and replaced with Shef Utd.
    Highlighted games where both teams are in the mix (17th and below in the table).

    An interesting sub plot to the relegation battle here, I doubt there’s actually any foul play but it gives people a chance to speculate

    Unfortunately for Price and West Brom he's going to be playing Wing-Back and is going to told to sprint up and down the length of the pitch for 90mins...

    Jokes aside, it's a fair point. That is dodgy as fuck.

    Nobody is forcing the players to play to be fair.

    It will be dictated by the parent club (just look at Arsenal).

    Respect to Martin O'Neill for managing Northern Ireland, Celtic and Blackburn all at the same time.

    That is absolutely bizarre. Cannot believe it's so brazen.

    Have heard that Michael O'Neil isn't even at the game against Wales tonight as he is concentrating on Blackburn.

    Nah, the problem with April fools jokes is they're done on April 1st, it's a bit of a give away.

    Maybe you should have added that Leicester have also been given an additional 5 points by way of apology for the inconvenience and unnecessary stress the original penalty would have caused.

    Millwall only six points above 7th as things stand, I'd actually love to see Wrexham knock them out of the top six
