Good Point!Close of play table looks good. 5 points clear with a better goal difference and only 3 games left. We look home and dry.

It's pity Coventry capitulated at Big Club as I wanted Brum to go down and also I was looking forward to a bit of 'revenge' with us ending the Sky Blue's play-off hopes in our last home game of the season (whereas it's more than likely that will be a total 'dead rubber' now).
Spot on Husky. It is up to us to pick up our own points rather than hope the others slip up. I am confident we can do so given our team spirit.The table is still looking pretty with the teams lowest in the table failing to win. Huddersfield look like they have "gone" - as soon as they conceded a goal today they seemed to give up and ended up getting battered 4-0 at home to a team with "nothing to play for". Very strange considering they were (and still are) just 2 points from safety.
Big Club also failed to win at at Rotherham. AND Huddersfield and Brum play each other next. So it's all looking good.
The ONLY thing that could possibly make it a slightly more nervy for us would be if Sheffield Wednesday were to win at Ewood. Even a draw would be a decent result for us.
Let's leave Sheffield, Plymouth, Brum and Huddersfield to fight it out for the remaining 2 relegation spots whilst we play a couple of boring dead rubbers (with us safe, Coventry out of the play-off picture and Leicester already promoted). Yes or yes?

Lol. The half time table is looking a bit ropey.Nothing to worry about lads. Preston are more likely to be relegated than us according to oddschecker!

Final Day Fixtures:
Leicester v Rovers
Sunderland v Sheff W
Plymouth v Hull
Birmingham v Norwich
In short we need a point (or win) at Leicester to guarantee survival.
Staying up scenario should we lose at Leicester:
As I just said in the Coventry game post, this evening's Hull v Ipswich becomes massive for us (regarding our other get-out clauses should the Champions beat us). We need Hull to win essentially - in doing so it will mean that Norwich will need something at Birmingham on the last day to ensure their play-off spot (instead of playing their save themselves for the play-offs reserve team). Also it will keep Hull just a point behind Norwich meaning that they will still be in with a chance of the play-offs if they win at Plymouth.
It was mentioned (to those not watching in Swedish) that the Millwall goal against Plymouth didn't mean too much regarding our survival. BUT IT DOES, it means Plymouth now have to beat Hull at home (whereas a draw would have been good enough for them to leapfrog us had they managed a point at The Den).
So, if we lose at Leicester then for us to go down it just requires Sheffield Wednesday to get a point or better (at on the beach Sunderland) and Plymouth & Birmingham to win (against potentially on the beach teams should Hull not win in a few hours).
Additionally, if Ipswich lose this evening then Leicester will almost certainly already be Champions by the time they face us and worst case scenario would be that they just need 1 point.
Got that? Haha. Get biting those nails and watching that Sky game . . . .
Also the 1-3 at home v Sheffield Weds.We could have done without that hammering at Bristol.
You're worse than me.My prediction is that Brum will win at Huddersfield, Plymouth will get a point at Millwall, but Wednesday will get beat at home by West Brom.
It almost amounts to the same thing, lol, almost...just that it's Weds on the same points as us instead of Brum.You're worse than me.
Or drawAlternatively we could just beat Leicester.
That’s the Rovers way Tony, always the hard way.I don’t know about any of you but the stress of all this is not doing my dicky tummy any good and we still have another 6 days to go! If only Sammy had put that chance away in the first half!
