samo II Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Bloody hell; haven't breathed in about five mins. Held on, and with the way results have gone, that is a solid point. Shame we couldn't take more chances, but if we are down the bottom for a reason, and that is one of them. Three games to go, four points from safety with only nine to win for those in the drop zone, and two matches at home where we're got an excellent recent record. Pleased with that; have a nice Easter Monday evening everyone! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I believe that's us safe now, I can't see Birmingham, Forest, Burton and Blackburn doing better than us over the last 3 games.

cityexile Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Jesus H Christ, that last twenty was tough. Yes, would have been nice to have won, and maybe we should have won it in first 60, but Blackburn had to give it everything. Could have won, could have lost, but got the point we might all have settled for before kick off.

Numero Uno Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Had the roles been reversed we would be raging now saying this was a must win game against a team who couldn't beat an egg away from home. Blackburn didn't win their must win game, yes it sounds like we might have won it but difficult to tell how easy chances are 200 miles away from behind your keyboard!! Take the point, quick shower, on the bus and get the hell out of there knowing Blackburn need to get a minimum five points in three games (two away) to overhaul us.......and that's if we fail to pick up another point this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we take a step back the difference between 1 and 3 points should be insignificant. Today was about chalking one more game off leaving them 3 hard games and us two winnable games plus a four/five point advantage. It would've been nice to make the gap 7 with a win, but as soon as we're down to 5m 1-1 we simply have to defend the Alamo. And in the context of games left, it much better they drop 2 than we do.

I'm certainly not complacent; a win next week should be the aim, as would make it very hard for anyone to catch us.

Super Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 14 minutes ago, sephjnr said: No, we haven't. It's still 4pts, and it's only gone from 4pts with 15 available to 4pts with 9 left. And I would be far more comfortable needing to get the job done vs Barnsley at the Gate in front of our white-hot crowd, than vs Brighton at their place with their white-hot crowd. Brighton will have the title wrapped up by the time we play them. Obviously still tough but they will have nothing to play for might even play the fringe players.

Dolman_Stand Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Given Blackburns fixtures I would say that the three in the drop zone now will be the ones to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see it. To be honest I won't care as long as we get safe soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin101 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The gap is effectively 5 points thanks to our goal difference. I wouldn't like to test my theory, but I think we now have the necessary points to stay up. Also, got to remember that we are not the only team within Blackburn's striking distance. Think they will be looking more at Forest and Birmingham than us now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
