One team always gets dragged into the relegation battle?

They usually lose all momentum and struggle to pluck out a win, while turning potential wins to draws and draws to losses.

Which team would you guess could get drawn into the relegation zone from the 5 game form table?

This is a rational post, just to provide a disclaimer!

    If the team that’s on 49 points loses next week it could well be dragged right into it…

    and then as it’s a team that just lately hasn’t got a fucking clue at home and has two banana skin games away it could be very very tricky

    So one possible example, when a team "always" gets dragged back into it

    It’s not so much as getting dragged back, it’s remaining stationary whilst other teams go past you.

    NJ always states that his teams get stronger as the season closes, so he's looking a bit lost at the moment.

    Which sums us up perfectly. The other teams below us have all started picking up unexpected points bar Leicester and we've hit relegation form at the worst possible time. Im a realist when it comes to my football team and lets be honest, we need to win at Weds, if we dont, it really is going to be squeaky bum time. We'll need an unexpected result from somewhere, same as our Boro result. Anyone see it coming atm?

    There is no need to worry as we are safe already apparently.

    Middlesborough are looking a bit dodgy in that form table, I’ll go for them.

    Could be wrong, but I don't think we've gone more than six games without a win all season. I'd be surprised if we don't pick up a single win from the last four.

    We beat Weds (not won at home all season) and Oxford lose (away to play off chasing Derby), it'll be an 8 point gap with 3 to play 

    Try not to wind yerselves up

    Yet people say IF we lose to Sheffield Wednesday we can’t be losing to a side with 1 win in 37

    Well, could we be afforded a little breathing room given the West Brom situation? Likely it'll go to next season but worth monitoring.

    Will get very messy this, I’d imagine relegated teams will put forward a legal challenge to the EFL if it doesn’t go through this season
