Football League Thread - Season 2018/22

[Pancake]

Got to beat Ipswich again on Saturday. It's crazy how well most of the bottom teams are doing.

Game against Rochdale will be big. Can see Shrewsbury getting dragged in given their form. Wish Wigan would stop winning. But we're still in a good position, and four wins on the bounce is great to see.

[Oblomov Boblomov]

Jesus we are definitely going down. Could easily end up 23rd.

So long as we win tomorrow I can relax for our penultimate game vs SWFC. Heck, let’s field a U18 team to lose and give us all the final day showdown we all want... SWFC vs DCFC

[Corazon de Leon]

Can't believe we've handed Sheff Wednesday a strawberry floating lifeline. Honestly.

They're in the bottom 3, of course we're going to give them 3 points. We'll do the same against Rotherham too, unless they're above Derby by then, then we're allowed to beat them.

Even if you lose all your remaining games you will still be a good 2-3 points clear of the drop by the end.

Sheffield Wednesday will beat us very comfortably. We need to hope Blues are on holiday by the weekend (so actually, if you could lose tonight that would be useful) and that Swansea are entirely distracted by the playoffs. Even then we'll need a lot of luck to go our way.

Don't get me wrong, I am pretty sick of being in the Championship, but I always thought we'd get out of it at the other end .

[Rubix]

Great goal, we should win this really, we look okay but you never know. Pretty much sealing Wycombe’s future right now.

We're meeting that request at the moment. Awful game. Awful performance.

We're not out of trouble

[KingK]

Christ knows how we got a point. Worst game I’ve watched in a very very long time. Can’t honestly remember a time where in the same match we’ve had 2 examples of taking a throw in and throwing it miles from anyone in a red shirt, and where a free kick is passed (!) to the opposition wall.

No idea why we got the penalty in the 97th minute either but I’ll take it! Grabban now has 1 more goal than our previous other joint top scorer...... own goals!

If I was a Birmingham fan I’d be fuming tonight.

7 clear of DCFC (9 pts available to them) and 11 clear of RUFC (15 pts available to them) and also 11 clear of SWFC (only 9 pts available to them). So, safe from SWFC, and probably from RUFC and DCFC in all reality. But strawberry float me, we are awful.

Turgid display. Inept. Boring. Roll on the end of the season and a complete overhaul from manager downwards including tactics. CH is not the man for us

I watched the second half and I didn't post because I thought I'd just sound like a crybaby from a relegated team, but I'm glad you saw it the same way. Blues had two penalty shouts turned down that looked stronger than the one you were given. The ref seemed to give all the little decisions your way and then everyone was surprised to see 7 minutes before a dubious penalty in the last! I'm surprised he didn't wheel away in celebration after Grabban tucked it in the corner .

Just praying now that Blues still consider themselves safe (they very obviously are, as are you) and have a piss up tomorrow evening or something.

Rotherham keep handing us lifelines, but from the performances I've seen they surely deserve to stay up ahead of us. Same with Sheffield Wednesday, it won't sit right with me at all if they go down only as a result of the points deduction.

We need to go down if anything is going to change at the club. We've got a good youth setup but everything else is a shambolic patchwork that keeps being put together in temporary fashion each season at a time. As I said previously, if we don't go down this season we will just be battling relegation again next season, with a team made up of loans and players on the final contract of their career.

[Rex Kramer]

I think you're probably safe now if you can pick up a point in your next 2 games. If not then that last game against Sheff Wed is going to be a real arse squeaker.

[KingK]

“Arse squeaker”!

Edit @OB, until we are mathematically safe I’m not ruling out our wonderful ability to capitulate at the end of the season just like last season.

Our next game! Stoke at home The team who beat us 1-4 at home to send us out if the playoffs last season. Then Sheff W away who I can see beating us as they’re fighting more than us. Final game against Preston should be a nothing game but by then who knows what’ll happen

My prediction is Wycombe, Rotherham and Sheff W will be the bottom 3 in that order. Derby to survive by less than 3 points. But you’ll sweat it I’m sure

[Corazon de Leon]

If Wednesday hadn’t had a big points deduction my arse would be making buttons just now tbf.

[Drumstick]

Blackburn scored five?!

Pompey just about keeping their playoff hopes alive.

[KingK]

strawberry floating Sheff W and Rotherham falling over themselves to finish below Derby!

Ah well, easy 3 points for Sheff W next game - they play us! As we’re now mathematically safe let’s hope we field the U16s!

That’ll hopefully take it to the last game of the season SWFC vs DCFC

[Pancake]

Good set of results for us this weekend, very nearly safe. Any sort of result against Rochdale on Tuesday and it's essentially guaranteed. Phew!

I like the stat that AFC Wimbledon have never been relegated, so fingers crossed for a win on Tuesday.

[Tomous]

Playoffs!


I'm not overly optimistic but it's nice to make it again. I wonder if fans will be allowed to go as its after May 17th.
