...to be a Bradford fan tonight ?
Stick your cup run and league 1, much prefer the championship even if we are in a relegation battle.
The cup money won't last long in league1.

Not convinced that we're in a relegation battle though.

Hardly a huge difference Looking at just the last 6 games and ignoring Millwall and Blackpool which look doomed Town IS in a RELEGATION battle for 22nd place. Town and teams below out of 18 points: Wigan 10 Fulham 7 Rotherham 6 Reading 4 Town 2 That does not look good.

We're safe. We will not go down.
If Powell and the players can't muster up enough points to make us safe well in advance of the trip to Blackpool then they may as well give it all up.
Then the summer brings the fun of Powell bringing in a few of his own players and see where we go from there.
Whatever happens, it's always better than being a Bradford fan.

If current form is anything to go by, I reckon Town will only pick up 4 points from their remaining fixtures against Wednesday (A), Ipswich (H), Forest (A), Brighton (H), Derby (H), Blackburn (H) & Blackpool (A). On the other hand, Wigan will collect at least 13 points from their remaining games, making it all square on points.
I'm not sure what the rules say when teams are tied on points, but if it's decided on goal difference then Town WILL BE relegated and Wigan will survive - Trust me.

It's also the same Wigan who have won ALL their last 4 away games including the scalp of high flying Norwich, so who is to say that they can't win their remaining 4 away matches?
The Wigan board must also have a lot faith in Malky, otherwise he'd have been fired month's ago.
Anyhow, when Wednesday beat us on Saturday and Wigan upset the apple cart and come away with the spoils at The Riverside, you might come around to my way of thinking?

Wigan to collect 13 points from their last 7 games - an average of 1.85 per game which equates to 85 over a season - and they have got 35 so far! I am sure the Wigan fans will take that. As for us winning 1, drawing 1, losing 5 (4 points) I guess the Wigan fans will take this as well. If you really feel this will happen get to Paddy Power NOW, your winnings will probably buy you a season ticket for the next 10 years at least.

Interestingly the teams Wigan play are currently 3,5,7,8th and 16,20,23rd so, in theory, as of today all their games are against teams either fighting for promotion or relegation. Not sure whether this is a good thing or not. Still dont think they will get 13 points though. I say 10 points and that includes drawing at Boro on friday.

Are you lot still not convinced? - Well lets look at it another way:
Wigan have picked up 10 points from their last 6 games (1.666/game average) whilst Town have only collected 2 points (0.333 average).
So with 7 games remaining and providing both teams form remains the same, then Wigan will collect a further 11.67 points (rounded up to 12) and Town 2.33 points (rounded up to 3).
And there my friends, are the 9 points Wigan need to gain on Town, to send us crashing back down to League One with an inferior goal difference.
As far I'm concerned this weekend's results at Hillborough and The Riverside are crucial, because if we come away with sweet FA and Wigan win, then it's all over bar the shouting and it's good night Vienna.

No one game is crucial, you should know that. The results may not have gone in our favour the last couple of matches but the form, ie performances were much improved. Dr. Death.

Weve been as good as down since september apparently.

One final point to the ones thinking we can't go down - We've only scored 4 goals in our last 6 games whilst conceding 14, whilst Wigan have only conceded 6.
So, we have the third worst defence in the entire league, having conceded 67 goals and a lack lustre bunch of forwards, who have only found the net 4 times in the last 540 minutes of play.
Stats don't lie and prove conclusively that we are in deep shit, unless we get the win we so desperately need at Hillsborough.
Mind you I'm not panicking yet, but I frigging will be if we balls it up against Wednesday and Wigan sink Boro.

I believe no-one on here is saying we CAN'T go down just that it is very very unlikely to happen at this point, if Wigan collect 6 points over Easter and we collect none then next week will look very different but until that unlikely event happens (109.25/1 on Bet 365 - I suggest you pile on if you are so convinced) then I won't worry about relegation thank you very much. What with Mirf, pixie and marcusd lately Is it just me or has my reality been thrown for a loop?

But as there are 7 games left if we mirrow the results of the last 7 you will see:
Town - 5 points - Total - 49 points. Rotherham - 6 points - Total - 46 points. Wigan - 10 points - Total - 45 points.
Or if you take the last 3 games you will see Rotherham bottom of the form league with 0 points.
Looks like 6 games were chosen simply because this was after our last win & the most likely combination to show us in the bottom three. How sad.How negative!
