Agreed, I can’t remember a season where the top 6 was already confirmed by the last day, Norwich’s next 4 are pretty tough too
It’s more likely that Ipswich will be promoted by the last day and have spent all week celebrating before they play Huddersfield
I still think we’ll be fine. Looking at the fixtures left I reckon we need 8 points to stay up. 2 wins 2 draws.
Monday is huge for sure but even that’s not the end of the world.
If we get three points Monday I’ll be extremely confident of survival.
I reckon Blackburn and Huddersfield go. Eustace ain’t won a game yet
I'm normally an optimist but I'm cacking myself. I keep thinking surely we've had all the bad luck we're going to have this season. Fortunes have to turn.

Maybe I’m just in denial but I am still convinced we’ll be sound

Blackburn have been picking up a few points though. Only something like five in the last seven games, but we've only managed one point in the past seven games. They've got a tricky few games, but so have we, and they're three points ahead with a better goal difference at the moment. I'm not normally miserable about this, but I have my doubts as to whether we can put some results together. I think it was the Boro game that got me worried - I couldn't see anything on the pitch to encourage me.
I think it’s a fight between us, Sheff Weds, Huddersfield, Plymouth and Blackburn

Hope you're right. The table looked so much better whem we were 1 up on Saturday.
I do not share people optimism about Monday. Preston have won the last 2 and are in with a strong chance of that playoffs.
A least Preston have to try and win it on Monday. Should mean we get chances.

Would feel more confident if it was only one from that 5 grouping dropping, but it will be two, if Sheff Weds win two of the three 6 pointers that alone will offer 6 points, they lose at Blackburn so 3pts for them. Whatever happens we wont be down anytime soon, despite the usual threads of 'we're down' or 'its over' which will be everywhere Monday if another defeat comes along, and again next week.
We'll pick up points in the meantime, but so will others.
The crunch game at Huddersfield could be interesting around a month from now and it really could come down to that fixture, win or bust.
