Plymouth are the ones in danger for me, personally I think we will get out if it with 2 or even 3 games spare. Other than Rotherham that are doomed, I would say Plymouth, Blackburn, Birmingam and Huddlesfield are all in deep shit, Wednesday too
Im going for Rotherham, Plymouth and Birmingham

I think we will beat Plymouth on April 20 and that will secure our place. 2 games to go I think after that.

We're a win and a draw off Watford and has previously said their run in is tough, I reckon with the all the teams playing each other around us and we've got to play a couple around us 50 points might be enough or not much more, that said I'm not saying we'll stay up but 2 wins and we'll pull away but then again QPR won 3 lost 1 drawn 1 of their last 5 games and are still in it big time.

Done mine and although I think I was reasonable and fair in all of my results, including having us lose to Southampton and draw with West Brom, Stoke have ended up with 58 points I'm not nearly as pessimistic as I thought I clearly was, and shows I know fuck all. I have Rotherham of course, then Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday to drop with them on 45 each. Just looking at Blackburn's run in is terrifying for them. I honestly think they only have 1 game they'd be favourites to win at a push. From bottom to top, obviously predicting games individually isn't the same as the realy thing but mine go as follows: 15 - Stoke - 58 16 - Millwall - 56 17 - QPR - 50 18 - Plymouth - 49 19 - Swansea City - 48 20 - Huddersfield - 47 21 - Birmingham - 46 22 - Sheff Wed - 45 23 - Blackburn - 45 24 - Rotherham - 21 Cardiff for me are really strong and will be nowhere near it anyway. Cardiff already on 53 points Exactly, but they were on the predictor excel that was shared. On mine they push for the play offs and end up on about 70 points.

I think Sunderland have only picked up 4 points in their last 8 games! 7 games to go……8 point gap enough???

If the points are shared around when those at the bottom play each other it will be incredibly close. We could do with a couple of teams nose diving - if that happens everyone else is good.
I'm going for Watford and Blackburn. Watford have been nowhere near relegation all season and that makes it hard to adjust to the reality of a relegation battle (we got enough time to recognise the situation we were in and do something about it). Also their run in is horrendous. Blackburn seem have had their dead cat bounce (against us) and also have a tough run in with not many 6 pointers.

I’ve put £5 on us going down at 250/1, can see QPR beating us this weekend and we have around 8 injuries at the moment. Majority in defence.

Watford are sleepwalking to disaster - looked up their fixtures when I read this and it's grim for them. Other than Birmingham this weekend (losable you would think) all 9 games are against top half teams, including Leeds (H), West Brom, Ipswich Southampton (all A). They could be well in it by the end of March if other results go wrong for them. Real test for new interim coach Cleverley (they are all interim at Watford I guess).

There big problem is they still think they should be promotion candidates and their league position now and all season isn't helping them realise the shit they are in. They could easily only realise it when it's too late.

Is he now, that definitely makes a big difference surely can scramble enough points? Might be back for the last 3 or 4 games, but unlikely to risk him given he’s likely a big money departure in the summer - might risk him if we are in real relegation trouble. You would think there’s enough of a gap for ourselves, but I’ve seen teams bomb down the table before and we’ve lost 6 in a row. 250/1 was too big a value not to have a small wager.

We just need to ignore everyone else and keep the performance level going. Win tomorrow and things are looking positive even for a doom monger like me.

Hopefully the Mackems are fine - half my North East family (including my dearly departed dad and grandad) are/were big fans - I am the family disappointment (mums side all Stoke :-) ) I look forward to our games and meeting up with them (Stanley) Rotherham, Birmingham and Huddersfield for me. Watford would be a bonus. think QPR will be fine, in decent form bar the game vs us

Otherwise still can't call it Huddersfield couldn't beat Rotherham but only had 10 men for 30

I didn’t realise Blackburn had only won 1 in 17 games (against us, obviously).
Unbelievably poor.

Right, now we are into it with 8 games to go, and its sphincter clenchingly tight I've updated the sheet so that all the actual results are in and the league table updated, leaving the fixtures left for you to predict on I've excluded Cardiff now from this as lets face it, they have had a good run and are 11th and in no danger I could have added Bristol City etc on 47 points but I think those teams and above are fine From the results I am predicting, I've got Stoke as getting 2 wins (Huddersfield and Plymouth) and 3 draws (Sheff Weds, WBA and Bristol, 2 of which are at home, a win in any of those would be beneficial!) Again I've just gone with 1-0, 0-1, 1-1 results for ease My predictor sees Rotherham doomed, Birmingham finishing second bottom as in stinking form, and then it will come down to goals between Sheff Weds and Huddersfield Keep an eye on Blackburn - I've only got them 1 point clear in the end with some home draws but they could easily get dragged in as well as Plymouth and QPR I'm hoping we get to 50 and are home and hosed before the last game, and we can enjoy a dud/beer in the sun.

I think Birmingham will pull away under Rowett, Feel like Blackburn and Plymouth both have a goal scorer in their side so will just about escape it, Rotherham are gone.
So that leaves Sheff Wed, QPR, Millwall, Huddersfield fighting for it.
Hoping for a positive weekend that sees us pull away.

Until we are mathematically safe from relegation I will be on edge. It's been like this a bit too much over the last few seasons, though I was more concerned in the COVID season (19/20, I think).
