The Relegation Thread 16/17

[Bartonyellow]

Birmingham please be gash for at least one more game.
If we lose this we are in the shit as we have Leeds next
Train to new street later then drinking in town before getting down to small Heath

 

[Jamo]

Burton, Brum, Forest, Citeh to stay up pls

Nothing personal against Blackburn, I just live in Birmingham so the above are easier to get to plus Burton/Forest are two of my favourite away days.

 

[Super_horns]

Despite their win yesterday think Blackburn will still drop..

Hoping Forest will go down so Zach Clough gets to enjoy relegation for a 2nd straight season.

Let's hope his dad can still laugh! #WANKER.

The irony that Bolton are already promoted and Forest can still go down

Predictions for the final day then?

We've got the 'luxury' of going into the game with our destiny in our own hands, could work against us though if we think we're safe late on and we're playing for the draw. I want to see us go all out straight from the off in the knowledge that if we win our game of football then we're safe regardless, unlikely Harry will take that approach though, can see the game ending in a draw which, with our goal difference, is no difference to a loss really. Bristol C 1-1 Blues

I think Forest will win in front of their own fans against a side with absolutely nothing to play for. Forest 2-1 Ipswich

Tough ask for Blackburn going to one of the best home sides in the league, the fact they've got a few injuries and nothing to play for will give Blackburn hope, ultimately I think Brentford will nick it though in a high scoring topsy turvy affair. Brentford 3-2 Blackburn

Final table

Forest 51pts -12GD
Blues 51pts -20GD
Blackburn 48pts -15GD
Wigan
Rotherham

Good luck to all involved, gonna but another arse twitchy day constantly checking phones/radio no doubt the fake rumours will go round the away end like they always do, simply cannot be as bad as Bolton a few years back, I quite literally almost had heart failure at that game. Looking forward to the day anyway, always better to be at the game rather than in a pub watching it all on the TV.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Bristol City 3-0 Blues
Forest 2-0 Ipswich
Brentford 1-3 Blackburn

 

[Bartonyellow]

Bristol City 3-0 Blues
Forest 2-0 Ipswich
Brentford 1-3 Blackburn

That your head or your heart ?

Forest win, Blues and Blackburn lose, Blackburn down.

You've got to go for the win, surely? Like you say a draw is literally no different to a defeat in your position, either way if Forest and Blackburn win you're gone, if not you're safe. Think Redknapp himself said that in his interview

I reckon you'll be fine regardless, got a funny feeling Forest are going to muck it up.
City 1-1 Birmingham
Forest 0-1 Ipswich
Brentford 1-2 Blackburn

 

[JaseTheVillain]

That your head or your heart ?

Unfortunately, heart, 2 of the results I can see coming off, but I don't see Blackburn beating Brentford unfortunately.

 

[Ciderup]

I just can't see Blackburn winning at Brentford, the Bees are a fine side, particularly at home.
City 3 Blues 1
Forest 1 Ipswich 1
Brentford 2 Blackburn 1
Sorry Blackburn fans, I think you're heading for the pub league.

 

[Veggie Legs]

I think we'll draw at Forest, but that'll be enough for them because it's hard to see Blackburn winning.

 

[roversfan2001]

Bristol City 2-1 Brum
Forest 1-1 Ipswich
Brentford 2-3 Rovers

We'll do it. Honest. [emoji56]

Honestly can't see Blackburn getting anything at Brentford unless Brentford really can't be arsed with nothing to play for. They bloody murdered us a couple of weeks ago.

Having said that, football's a strange game, and nothing would surprise me, so maybe a last minute shock that sees Forest or Brum go down.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Ah, I remember our last d-day for survival, it went something like this:

 

[Bartonyellow]

Blackburn have a chance. I would never have thought Hartlepool would beat Doncaster, but they did. When the stakes are high, teams dig deeper. On paper this is a home banker, but - if some of Rovers big players turn up and perform, they could
Just do it.

Amazing to think 4 of those 6 teams will have gone down to at least League 1, after today's games, and it's not like it was that long ago. That's football for you.

 

[markwwfc1992]

2 of the said 4 teams have played in Europe since that season too, crazy...

 

[LeylandWhite]

Well done Birmingham + Forest.

Fuck off Blackburn Rovers!!!

 

[Luke_1884]

Mick McCarthy Out.

 

[Bobbin']

No, you can keep those three teams. Thanks anyway.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

No, you can keep those three teams. Thanks anyway.

We really tried to send you Birmingham. Unfortunately Huddersfield and Bristol City are useless.

 

[Ciderup]

Apologies Blackburn, we played like we knew we were safe, really poor by our lot.
Good luck getting back up.

 

[LondonOrn]

Mick McCarthy Out.

They finished 16th, worst finish since 1959 (or if we're being charitable, since they finished 15th out of 22 teams in 1965/66) and face a 16th consecutive season in the second tier.

Just been wondering, are they such a big club even for the Championship? They achieved their biggest successes thanks to being blessed with two of the best English managers but apart from that they've been pretty mediocre, a brief stint of glory during the turn of the millennium aside (under George Burley, a Robson protégé). I like Ipswich and want to see them re-establish themselves in the top flight but they seem stuck in a right rut without the resources to pull themselves out of it. Still, if Southampton, Stoke never mind Swansea can do it why can't they?

Still us... One goal from relegation, only survived because Bristol City were on holiday. Behave yourself.

We are quite happy thanks El G and were laughing last week, hence our pathetic effort today. I thought it was a bit much that we came out in bermuda shorts carrying buckets and spades TBH.
Well done though to you and Tilton Trev.
Any idea how much you paid that wanker Mason? What a see you next Tuesday he was.
Enjoy!

Unfortunately, we were Jase, absolutely pathetic today. Apologies for spoiling your fun.
