An Important Afternoon For BWFC

I always thought that QPR could not sustain the momentum after the false dawn against Liverpool. Look at the rest of their fixtures and at best I can't see them getting more than six points.

Wigan have Fulham away and Newcastle at home followed by two massive games against Blackburn ( A ) and Wolves ( H ). Those last two games are of great significance because it means two out of the bottom three cannot all pick up three points.

Likewise Blackburn have to travel to Spurs and Chelsea.

I tell thee, things are not as bad for us as they seem. Even a draw against Swansea and Villa will leapfrog us out of the bottom three.

Wigan look great right now, they dominated Man Utd from start to finish, I can see them picking up something at Arsenal as confidence will be high. They won't go down, having two easy games to finish with will help them as well.

QPR are a decent team but with games away at Spurs and City to come it's going to be tough for them.

The Swansea game is vital for us, win that and I think we'll stay up but if we manage to lose it the pressure will be massive to get something at Villa. But I trust Owen, he's doing a good job.

The league table shows that he is actually doing anything but a good job. I forgive him because injuries to Lee and Holden plus Mears and Ricketts early on, have blighted our season.

If he keeps us up then I will judge him on how we perform next season with a fully fit squad.

We've no money, £110 million in debt, underperforming players and injuries to key players. He's done better than expected.

Stop reverse trolling.

Ha ha.

I dont trust him, i dont even like the look of him.

I can see Wigan winning at least two of their remaining matches (Fulham/Newcastle/Blackburn/Wolves), and QPR will probably beat Stoke at home and might get a draw or win against Spurs. So as things stand I think we will need 3 wins to finish above Wigan and at the very least 2 wins to finish above QPR. Call me negative but honestly can't see us doing it.

The only part OC had any influence in this statement is with the 'underperforming players'. Its what he's paid for, and he hasn't managed it very well.

I think Blackburn have 4 points left in them...a win at home to Norwich and a draw at home to Wigan. That will put them on 34 points.
I think Wigan will get 5 more points...a win on the last day at home to Wolves, a draw at Blackburn and a draw against either Newcastle, Fulham or Arsenal, putting them on 36.
And I think QPR will get more 4 points...a draw at home to Spurs, and a win at home to Stoke, putting them on 35.

The only team I daren't make a prediction on is my own.

8 more points will keep us up for sure.

If we beat Swansea next week, we are staying up.

I can't see us getting anything from our remaining away games, but Swansea, WBA & Stoke at home should bring at least 6 points. It won't be enough.

The Stoke match is away. Swansea,WBA and Spurs are our home games. Whichever way you look at it can see us needing something at Stoke on the last day or relying on either already relegated Wolves or a City side with nothing to play for doing us a favour against a QPR side that will have 3 of there former teammates in there team.

Blackburn are in deep, deep shit now. It's very much looking like we will only have to avoid finishing bottom of a mini-league involving ourselves, Wigan and QPR. Blackburn are now 1/4 on to go down with all the major bookmakers.

Others will no doubt disagree but I would rather have our current points tally, games remaining and remaining fixtures than either of those that Wigan and QPR have.

My prediction is whatever happens in the Wigan v Blackburn match will decide our fate. If it is a draw we will stay up, if Wigan win we will go down.

My mistake, but Spurs at home has brought results in the past. So 6 points is still possible from our home games.

Nat ! You just admitted to making a mistake ! What the hell is the matter with you? Are you mellowing with age ?

Even I am not perfect. Not everyday anyway.

Nearest thing to it I've ever seen

Not to be so negative but even after Rovers losing today I still think we will finish 19th below them, if by some off chance we beat Villa on Tuesday week then I may rethink what I have said but as things stand for me we are with 2nd worst team in the league.
