Are we safe now?

[bathseagull]

We're well clear of Gills - if results go our way Tuesday night it could be party time i reckon

:dance:

 

[Tommy Cook reporting]

I certainly said to the people around me yesterday that this was the three points that kept us up.


There is no chance of us going down, Plymouth are awful, the Gills not much better and Forest and Rotherham have already gone I think.

The Gills need 11 points to go above us - I doubt they'll get 11 more all season.............

 

[dougdeep]

If the games go right on Tues/Weds we will be nearly there.

 

[Hove&Albion F.C]

I really believe we're safe now. McGhee has really got the lads believing in themselves now and believing that we are good enough to stay up in this division. Our perfornces have certainly improved as the season has worn on, imo. The confidence and spirit running through the club at the moment are second to none- which was perfectly demonstrated yesterday: after two defeats on the trot we stil keep going and put in a great performance yesterday, hightened by the fact that even with playing with ten men for 2/3rds of the game we stil manage to score and keep 4th placed sunderland at bay until the final ten. I really think this confindence and spirit will carry us through safely now.

McGhee really is a superb manager and i really hope he is the manager that takes us into Falmer WHEN we get it.

 

[Curious Orange]

We are not safe yet.

 

[kalinski]

not safe until we are mathematically safe...or is that obvious

 

[Yorkie]

10 points from relegation and 10 points from the playoffs

 

[Safeway]

Ten points from relegation, ten points from the play-offs. Looking good.

 

[Safeway]

10 points from relegation and 10 points from the playoffs

What she said.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

10 points from relegation and 10 points from the playoffs

I want to see us in the top half of the table at least once in the second half of the season...

 

[Bwian]

We are not safe yet.

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

Gills are going to have to win 4 more games than us in the last 12 . Camt see that happening. If you consider that 50 ish points is the safety barrier, they need to win another 7 games. Not going to happen. We are more or less safe. Only a seriously poor run would put us in the shit. Around 46 points will keep a team up this year.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Technically, no. We need more than 41 points to stay up. But, realistically, i think yes we are safe now. I can't see us getting relegated unless we go on a Hinshelwoodesque run. And that's not going to happen. We need a couple of wins and a few more draws to ensure survival, which is easily achievable with 12 games left. I think we'll finish comfortably above the relegation zone with 55 points.

 

[Blackadder]

I think we'll beat Millwall next Saturday, which will place us in a very comfortable position.

As already mentioned we are NOT technically safe but it would take a massive slump for us to go down now!

 

[Beach Hut]

As already mentioned we are NOT technically safe but it would take a massive slump for us to go down now!

Not forgetting a massive turnaround in form for the other clubs at the bottom.

 

[Blackadder]

Good point Beachy. Plymouth are having a dire run at the moment.

If it wasn't for Reading being so poor at the moment, Coventry would still be below them!

 

[PaoloRossiJohnson]

10 points from relegation and 10 points from the playoffs

...which makes us the perfect "Salt 'n' Pepper" team...

[Hydro Driven]

We are not safe till the final whistle of the final game!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Large One]

I will only be happy about this when the calculator says we are safe. From the position we are in, if we go down it will be our own fault, and we will have deserved it. To hit McGhee's target means getting 9 points from the next 36.

Having said that, barring a major turn around is form, luck and bribery, I cannot see the bottom three getting out from where they are presently.

Shit. That's torn it.

 

[Safeway]

We are not safe till the final whistle of the final game!!!!!!!!!!!

Not true. If we're at least four points above the relegation places before the Ipswich match then we will be safe, whatever the score of that game.
