He can't stand Reading so I believe it was them he was referring to. |

Wigan don't seem to have given up just yet. Maybe they can help us?

It’s not looking good now is it. You can’t afford 1 point from 6 at home when you’re in our position.
We were 8 points above relegation when Ainsworth took over and our goal difference was in line with Reading, Cardiff and Huddersfield. We were then due to play the teams in and around us. Now look at us.

I reckon we’ll end up needing two wins. Huddersfield fixtures are interesting. Team he supports, team he loves and club he hates. The latter could just save us

The latter could just save us Huddersfiled v Reading last game is a worry for me if they work together to fuck us. Wouldn't put anything past Warnock when it comes to dirty tricks and having to survive. |

To be honest, our game is kind of irrelevant. We have no chance of getting anything from Burnley. However, if all the other teams around us lose today, I would start to have some faith. Our last 2 games aren’t that bad. Today we need a lot to go our way though.

When you look at our last two games compared to others on paper they are what you would ask for but do we have it in us to raise our game and be brave.
I think one win would be enough.
Where teams are playing each other what do we wavt draws or one side to edge it so some sides stay where they are and make no progress or is it more the merrier.

Shit record at Stoke in recent years and the pressure of a final day miracle to survive worries me with this group of players. You just don't know which QPR will turn up. The Watford lot or the Wigan lot. |

Stoke at home looks a plum fixture for Cardiff today unfortunately. I think Coventrys late equaliser the other day will put them on the front foot against Reading though. Huddersfield don't play this weekend.

I think we may need 4 points as Reading should get 4 I reckon. We have worst goal difference…..we were ok before Gareth worked his magic. It sounds strange but I’d let Ainsworth take this game. He can then stay as manager but let players just decide tactics, style of play and formation for final 2 game. Go back to what got us the points earlier in the season. Squad is pretty much fully fit now. Put any egos and issues on hold for those last 2 games. |

Thought the poor old Kraken would claim its first victim today, but it will have to stay hungry for another week... What a result, some decent results around us too. And that green 'win' tick looks effing beautiful...  |

Two weeks to go - hoping Stoke and Bristol will be in flip-flops and be dreaming of the beach already...

Stoke City (a)
Bristol City (h)
ROTHERHAM 46
Cardiff (h) - rearranged fixture

CARDIFF 45
Rotherham (a) - rearranged fixture

Assuming Blackpool won't catch us, if Reading lose to either Wigan or Huddersfield, we're safe, regardless of our results.

I'd really like one of Wigan or Blackpool to stay up and Huddersfield or Cardiff to join Reading in the drop.
I'm still miffed at Warnock for not including QPR in his list of teams he wanted to survive...

Like it  We have far and away the biggest improvement over the week of 43% and now only have a 3% chance of relegation. Our last two games are against sides with absolutely nothing to play for. I know it ain't over until it's over, but it is looking good... |

Any preference for the rearranged Rotherham v Cardiff match on Thursday?
I'm really hoping for a Rotherham win, as it keeps Cardiff right in the shit.
It would also seriously piss them off, as they were winning 0-1 in the original match with less than half an hour to go...
Cardiff also have to play Burnley away on the last day of the season - would love to see them go down. Wigan have two 'winnable' games to go, so who knows?
But I suspect it will be the current bottom three making the drop in the end.

Blackpool on the brink… Losing at home to Millwall will send them down.
0-1 at the moment.
