    I think Wednesday could cause Oxford problems, there is no reason why anyone could say they wouldn’t.

    Why do so many on here think Oxford are going to win all their remaining games and overtake us, its ridiculous. have some perspective.

    They don't necessarily have to win them all, 2 wins might be enough.

    And how many points do we need to negate that?

    Without having watched all their games this season I could be wrong but I'd say there is a pretty high chance Oxford have been 'bang average' far more often than Wrexham have this season.



    Agree DC.
    Just checked the league table and Wrexham are 7th with 67 points and are far from bang average and Oxford are 22nd with 44 points and they would love to be bang average.

    Having said that any of 3 results(no shit Sherlock) could happen tomorrow and I will be cheering on Parky, Dobbo and the rest of the Boys from North East Wales.

    I can certainly see Oxford getting 6 points.  From the highlights it looks like they were unlucky v Derby.  Playoff chasing results were very kind to us this weekend though with Wrexham still in with a real chance.. I think we need a Wrexham win massively and to hope we pick up a point v Hull (I see nothing v Ipswich).
    They definetely weren't unlucky against Derby, they were shocking. Hope they play like that for the last 3 games

    We will beat Ipswich against the odds and the panic can cease. 

    We can then move on to speculating who we will sign next year and how much we will / will not spend.

    I'm sure that you are capable of working that out for yourself.

    And you asked why people think that Oxford will win all their remaining games.

    My point was there's only 3 left, you said they only need to win 2, winning 2 out of 10 more games for example is much more achievable than winning 2 out of a remaining 3 right?

    West Brom are a form team at the moment, they have one tough game (Ipswich) but also games against Wednesday and a slumping Sheffield United team, which they would fancy themselves to win. 
    Blackburn have Watford, who lost poorly to West Brom on Saturday, and Leicester on the final day of the season.

    As both are only 1 point behind us currently, depending on points deductions, on current form both should overtake us, seeing that we're joint bottom in the last 6 form table now.

    It would need to be a convincing win though would it not?  Under pressure all game with a deflected break away goal, or them down to 9 and only a one nil win, would definitely not be satisfying. If we can't or won't win by 2 clear goals those of us able to should carry on worrying, deeply, about being relegated next season, as a basis for discussing who to sign and for how much.

    Unless you are Charlton Athletic. Unless we sort ourselves we will finish with no wins in 9.

    Blackburn play away at Sheffield United. If they lose that (which is not unlikely) and provided we don’t we don’t take a hammering, then we only need 2 points from our remaining games to stay up on GD unless they beat Leicester by 4-5 to nil, which for a Blackburn team unable to score, I cannot see happening. 

    If we pick up two draws then our GD won’t go down, so it’s not unrealistic. 

    Everyone’s talking about Oxford but Blackburn are also bang in the shit and below us still. 

    There is a real scenario where both us and Oxford stay up and Blackburn go down. Which would be the best outcome.

    God if we do stay up, can we at least f**king well shelve any discussion of "Oh we're just bound to be relegated next season" for a couple of months!!

    I get it, some people feel the need to be negative about the situation, and its not necessary or easy looking at it from a glass half full / positive point of view... But reading the endless "Oh Oxford are bound to do this, whilst we're bound for the abyss" and the fact that people have had us relegated for half of 2026 is just exhausting, and unintentionally wears you down... Is the one thing I fucking hate about negative people... Be miserable, but be aware of the effect your pissing misery is going to have on others

    Blackburn don't exactly look great, Sheffield United are playing well at the mo, and maybe Leicester go out with a bang on the last day, who knows, stranger things have happened

    Admittedly no-one else has said it out loud yet to my knowledge, and i don't like to say it as there's enough worry and outright panic here among some already, but the way we are playing, it feels like a double relegation could be on the cards. I think the 'one match at a time approach' is the best way in the circumstances.

    No I just feel there are some who wont hesitate by moving the goal posts once safety is confirmed (if confirmed), and will move on to depressing us with their next doomsday prediction.

    I also don’t understand people saying we deserve to go down etc. 

    the idea is to be better than those teams around you and we’ve done that: 

    Blackburn - taken 4 points
    WBA - taken 4 points 
    Oxford - taken 4 points
    Leicester - taken 3 points (should have been 6)
    Wednesday - taken 4 points

    so none of the teams below us except a lucky Leicester could even beat us, says a lot about them all if we are so bad doesn’t it?

    Pompey 0 though. That last minute winner at Fratton still rankles, as without that we'd be on 51, and Pompey 49. Such an unnecessary goal to concede.

    If this happens, let's just park the bus against Ipswich and get the point to kill off the season.
    Hasn’t that been our strategy all year?

    To be fair, if Wednesday get a decent owner, keep the bulk of the squad whilst adding some experience, they should get play offs even with the points deduction.
