Who do we think will be joining us next season in the joys of playing third division football then? Will Harry pocket another bonus for keeping 'Brum up, will the bonkers owners luck at Blackburn finally run out or will Forest's own brand of mismanagement see them drop?

    They are all basket cases, but I reckon Blackburn would be the least likely to mount a strong challenge in League 1 next season so I hope it's them.

    I always say that on the last day, whoever needs to do it normally does - mainly because the teams they are playing are already thinking of Benidorm - therefore i think possibly all three will win which will mean Blackburn the drop.

    Blackburn need to better Forests result by 2 goals

    That's my thinking too. In any of these scenarios there's going to be some serious competition to break into the top half of the table next season...

    Forest are at home while the other 2 are away. They also play Ipswich who are on the poorest form of their 3 opponents. Having said that they are on the poorest form of the 3 themselves.
    Games are 12 tomorrow btw.
  • Big shocks at both ends of the table.

    Birmingham to go down and Newcastle to win the title.

    Birmingham deserve it for getting rid of a winning manager for a name.

    Blackburn to go down for me. I don't think they will win at Brentford and Forest will get something against Ipswich. That will leave Birmingham safe.

    Blackburn for me, i don't think they'll win at Brentford.

    Good piece on Football Focus about Blackburn today, such a mess the club is in.

    Forest in big trouble now, especially as Blackburn look like they could get more.

    Doesnt matter though does it... One goal from Forest and Blackburn are relegated as it stands.

    Edit: Just seen how close the Goal Difference is... One goal from Forest and it puts them and Blackburn on the same (-12) so wouldnt that save Forest if it were to remain the case because they'll have scored 60-goals this season whilst Blackburn will only have scored 52-goals?

    At the other end Newcastle are currently winning the title as they've gone 1-0 up against Barnsley

    C'mon Brighton!!

    Blackburn once again the relegated team...

    Am I correct in thinking that, Forrest are out of the relegation zone on alphabetically order?

    Nah they're out of the relegation zone on goals scored.

    Goal from Bristol City though puts all three teams on 51-points with Birmingham having the much worst goal difference

    This is going to be very close. Brummies will be sweating as well, a Bristol City equaliser and they could be the ones to go.

    Bristol City have 61% of the possession as well yet have only had one shot on target...

    If I was them right now I'd really try my hardest to send Birmingham City down - Both Forest and Blackburn IF they survive will probably be back down there again next season and could quite easily take two of the relegation places - Birmingham on the other hand if they get their next Management appointment correct could start to climb back up the Division.

    I don't have much sympathy for any team managed by that dour c*** Mowbray especially after his "we should be beating teams like Charlton" comment.
  • Goal for Brentford. Looks like could be Blackburn dropping.

    Goal for Brentford. Looks like could be Blackburn dropping.

    Shame I thought the Goalkeeper had kept it out for moment

    Still need to keep this lead. ONE goal from either Ipswich or Bristol City will keep Blackburn up
