....must be pooing themselves!!

Would take two wins from Hull or Luton to overtake them, but that's not beyond the realms of possibility (especially as one game is Hull v Luton so a good chance of 3 points for one of those sides).
 
Yeah I guess the draw was the best result for us, and it was unlikely to see Birmingham go down even if they lost, but it would've been funny for a club that was nowhere near relegation at the restart to drop out of the league!
 
I think two wins from Luton, and they'll stay up. I really reckon that one of Birmingham, Charlton or Huddersfield will lose their last two.
 
Hull v Luton is the crucial game. If Luton win then I reckon they'll (deservedly) survive at the expense of Charlton, if Hull win then I reckon they'll still go down (alongside Barnsley and Luton).
 
Huddersfield have got West Brom and Millwall. Can't see them winning either of those.
No, me neither, could see them nick a point v Millwall though? Even if they don't gain another point, Charlton need 2 points to overhaul them though (unless Huddersfield get spanked).
 
Wigan v Charlton is another key game.

If Wigan don't win they can't catch us.

If they do win then Charlton would need to beat Leeds to catch us.
 
I really hope Wigan survive (not at our expense though obviously!). They've dug themselves out of the mire in 2020, only to be dropped back into it because of something outside of the control of the players, management and fans.
Me too, they've been so focused on escaping a fantastic fighting spirit, hope they survive

Luton’s form has been like ours. Good away and not good enough at home. If I was a Luton fan after beating Brentford at home in Feb I would have looked at the next set of home fixtures of Stoke, Preston, Barnsley, Reading and QPR and thought 3 wins at least. They got none.

Actually, assuming Wigan get their points deduction then two wins from Luton will definitely be enough, as Charlton play Wigan next up, so one or the other would go below Luton.

(Unless Barnsley beat all three of Leeds/Forest/Brentford back to back, which seems unlikely).

And I guess like all teams at or near the bottom, wins are hard to come by!
