Did we save ourselves with the win over Derby?

[scousefan]

As this season limps to a close, we're not safe yet. However it looks likely that we will limp over the line. After a really bad season, the top result looks to be the unlikely 2-0 win over Derby. They had been our bogey team for the past year and thrashed us in last seasons playoffs. Perhaps we should count ourselves very fortunate that Darren Bent was injured.

I would say the away win at Blackburn was the life line.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Equally we have put ourselves in the mire with just 3 points from 6 games vs Rotherham, Millwall and Blackpool.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

I would say the Fulham and Charlton aways were integral during an otherwise indifferent period.

 

[Munkfish]

The win at Blackburn was the key result.

You could say the same about Ipswich, Leeds and Derby. each result as big as the next.

 

[pasty]

I would say the away win at Blackburn was the life line.

This. For me, they were the most unexpected 3 points of the season. Even more so than the Derby win.

 

[Bold Seagull]

If we lose to Wigan on Saturday, and Millwall manage to snatch a win at Cardiff, then we are very much back in the shit.

I still can't understand the view that we're safe. We're not. This is the championship. ANYTHING can happen.

I would say the Fulham and Charlton aways were integral during an otherwise indifferent period.

Pulling back a 2-0 deficit against Reading to get a draw and winning away at Fulham, got us out of the bottom three. I would say those two games were the most pivotal.
Thank you Jonah.

 

[SAC]

The 3 (6?) against Wigan were probably the most important.

 

[nwgull]

Not losing away at Millwall and the win against Blackburn made us more or less safe. The subsequent performances, selection and results seem to indicate that CH and the team feel the same way.

 

[Gazwag]

The four points Nathan won us

 

[Bold Seagull]

I still can't understand the view that we're safe. We're not. This is the championship. ANYTHING can happen.

Me neither.

By Saturday tea time we might well be 20th, 2 pts ahead of R'Ham who will have a game in hand, 4 pts ahead of M'Wall who will have a game in hand.

Massive game Saturday.

Too true. Even if we win tomorrow and Millwall lose, we're still not mathematically safe. Personally though, as long as we at least match Millwalls result tomorrow, I think safety will be achieved on Tuesday when Millwall lose at Blackburn.

Also just noticed, if Wigan don't beat us, they are down.

If we win tomorrow we are on 49 points. If Millwall lose tomorrow and win there last 3 games then they are on 48 points. No? Am I being a total div?

No. You are right. I'm being a total div

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

Millwall have Cardiff A, Blackburn A, Derby H and Wolves A.

I just don't see them winning 3 of those games.

You'd think Derby and, most likely, Wolves will still be in contention for the play-offs and will be too much for Millwall.

 

[Diablo]

we are safe bar catastrophe

Too much complacency on here. Sleepwalking to relegation

 

[jimbob5]

We need to sort our keeper out! He should never EVER let a goal in. It puts too much pressure on the forwards etc
