Tried to realistic, what with Bpool's freefall at the moment, plus have Charlton to lose at Wall and Pool, but we HAVE to beat Barnsley and Yeovil.
So, its gonna be close !

Fasten safety belts .........
That leads us to who-knows-where, who-knows-when.
Anyone see the Yeovil first sending-off today ? How the hell can anyone be sent off for something like that?
You play a few teams at the end with nothing to play for or around you.
Presidents predictions are not overly optimistic either. Good thread though. Cheers me up a little after the defeat today. I hope they are correct. Charlton staying in the championships will be a major achievement.

I'd say confidently that 45pts will be fine.
The trick is to try and guess which of them will do just that.
According to my predictions, this is how it could finish:
Top 8: Leicester 92 Bottom 8 Blackpool 51
QPR 89 Millwall 51
Burnley 82 Charlton 50
Forest 81 Bournem'th 48
Derby 78 Birmingham 45
Leeds 73 Doncaster 45
Ipswich 72 Yeovil 37
Wigan 71 Barnsley 34
Even Harry Redknapp doesn't think that.
I have thought for some time that Barnsley and Yeovil are probably doomed and agree we need 6 points from their visits to the Valley. Huddersfield next week and Watford are also must wins .Similar to the QPR game I could see the pitch being a leveller against Burnley,so maybe an unexpected bonus point (or 3).
I would love to visit the Toolbox next week ahead of Millwall in the table with 3 games in hand, that might make the dynamics of our South London derby very different.If they lose to Derby County and Blackpool and we took the lead then I could see Holloway's honeymoon coming to an abrupt end and their lovely cheeky supporters would get on their own teams back.
My only fear is do we have the strength in depth for this marathon . I suspect players who are on the fringes like Evina,Gower,Green,Hollands and Pritchard who I'm not sure are really good at this level may feature at some stage unless we get reinforcements.
Leeds and Forest at the bottom of the last 6 championship form table. Derby mid table.
Next games: Burnley h
