sportsclubstats.com/England/ChampionshipLeague.html A draw puts our relegation chances at 4% (an improvement from 5%) and Peterborough on 49% chance for the dreaded drop... whereas a home win for them would have put them on 32%... once again no idea how accurate this site is (Huddersfield and Sheff Wed both on c. 15% chance of going down... Millwall also 4% and Wolves on 40%)
a points a point, but having been 2-1 up I'm a bit gutted. Only pleasing thing is that a few results went our way (apart from wolves & Hudds winning) - at half time we were only a point off 19th place.
I don't know why but I still think we will stay up - not beacuse of anything we do, but because there are too many other inconsistant teams and no-one is putting a run together.
Next 2 games are biggies - as long as we don;t lose them we'll be ok.
If we continue to play like that we easily stay up. It was refreshing after last two home games. We jus need a kinsella type cm (easier said than done) pritchard is so lightweight it leaves us wide open.
watch out for derby, horribly out of form and play 8 of the teams below them, as well as leicester and leeds. They could decide who goes down... birmingham (a) leicester (h) bristol city (h) leeds (a) ipswich (h) blackburn (a) barnsley (a) peterborough (h) blackpool (a) and millwall (h)
My main concern is that we have five home games left. If they were all away I'd feel a bit more confident. I think we will stay up but only because there are teams that are even more inconsistant than us. Anything less than a win on Saturday and Millwall becomes a must win.

Wouldn't go as far as that. Yeah it was better than the last two home games but we were playing 2nd bottom
Just an idea but why not base the squad up in Middlesborough or some other hellhole northern backwater & then make them travel down the day before the game on the team coach & have them stay in the local Travellodge. That way even though we are at home they'll feel like they are away.

I take your point but They are in pritty good form and played good football to be fair, I have seen a lot worse teams thus year.
Our only saving grace currently is that blackburn, blackpool, derby and millwall are in worse form than us at the minute.
and even if 2 or 3 of them do put a run together there are the likes of B'ham, Wolves, Huddersfield & Sheff W below us...........and I just can't see all 7 or 8 teams all wining together. Saying that , I don't think we are out of the trees yet, not by a long chalk, and there will be a few squeaky bum times before we are safe.
Just got home. After going down 1 nil to a side who'd scored a few lately albeit away I felt we did really well to recover when things have been so crap lately. Shame we still can't hold a lead. Posh looked very confident once ahead. Above all, and this is what really matters, it was enjoyable. Great fun in fact. 4 Dads and 8 lads. Posh is a great away. Far enough to feel you've actually gone somewhere whilst near enough to make a midweek away feasible. Straight forward drive, easy parking and cracking old school ground.

Well, I make it 8 points (just about) from our remaining games, but glad you see all our probs resolved with a CM arriving.
At 2-1 up, they were there for the taking. We didn't capitalise and then our keeper punches their leveller into his own net - that's relegation stuff.
Posh have been in the bottom 3 for most of the season, and believe me, we were not much better than them tonight.

Good effort those that went. The players know that we are behind them. Our fans are quality in general.
Predictions based on current form (last 8) - we are 23rd in the table for the last 8 games, only Millwall behind us....
Still I fancy us to beat Huddersfield on Saturday & all will be fine...
Prepare for a relegation battle.

Feeling very negative about us at the moment, we're very much in a relegation battle and need to beat teams that are around us.
