People say we need a miracle to stay up
« on April 11, 2012, 12:01:28 am by streatham dave »
and I agree that is close to what we need. This is what the miracle would have to look like. If Bristol City get one more point we are down(maybe not mathematically but we have inferior goal difference) This means Bristol City must lose away at Birmingham (I can see this happening) at home vs West Ham (likewise) Barnsley need to do us a favour at Bristol (50/50)  then Burnley away. Wouldn't be surprised if Burnley beat them. Not unreasonable that Bristol don't pick up another point. Look I don't think that we will win 4 games out of 4 but if we did then we will finish above Portsmouth. This leaves Coventry who again we play. Obviously if we win all 4 then Coventry is one of these. They can pick up 4 points from the other 3 games and still finish below us. Coventry play Burnley away, Millwall at home and  Southampton away. Now not being funny but can't see them getting more than 4 points from those games. The big question is can we win 4 games? By the way if Bristol City draw v (for example) Barnsley we would need to win each game 2-0 to end up on the same goal difference. Would it then be decided on goals scored or goals conceded? If the later we would be well and truly buggered I would have thought. Lets hope we can at least push relegation away for a few more games. Very unlikely we really do have the great escape but what a end of season it could still turn into. :blink: and no I've not been drinking although maybe I should have been.

Dean Saunders should print that out and pin it to the dressing room door.  It's almost in our own hands when you look at it like that!!!

If we adopt a fighting Mike Tyson theory of football, anything is possible.

Stranger things have happened. Don't forget the time Wimbledon lost their last 10 matches in a row and David Weatherall scored a headed goal that meant Bradford stayed up.

Just pointing that out in case nobody has already.

Love the optimism. But we won't put 4 wins together. I can't see us beating Boro, for a start, or Ipswich.

We couldn't win a raffle, never mind a football game. This seasons finished already, look forward to a decent league 1 campaign next season

We can't win 2 games in a row, let alone 4.
