They won't- they've just lost 3-0 at home to Wycombe. Even if they beat cardiff and we lose to Norwich Wednesday need to win three and we lose three in order that they go above us. Again-aint going to happen

Its never over until it is over, anything is possible in football and were Town are concerned owt can happen. I am not expecting anything against Norwich so if we do get anything it will be a bonus

I always try and just look at the facts when it comes to table and I’m really comfortable that we’re fine.
Before kick off at the Wednesday game, each of the bottom 3 have lost at least twice as many as they have won.
They are all averaging less than a point a game (again, Wednesday now just above that if they win taking into account the 6 point deduction)
Rotherham are realistically the only team to worry about - at less than a point a game with more rest between games than anyone else, it seems a long shot that they’ll suddenly improve that with games coming faster than anybody else.
Another way of looking at it, the same 8 point difference for us would be to move up to 13th which is also just as unlikely to happen as us be caught.

Cardiff are apparently playing Bayern Munich or so it would seem Cardiff look as shite as they did against us but Wednesday actually managed to punish them Tell Cardiff about that Crewe bloke then.

Bristol are on 49 points and safe, yet you want a home win!? For me, a home win is a terrible result. Agree all the others though. Think you need to go to specsavers... But alas my prediction looks true at 2-0.. Bristol are shite I’ve got better than 20/20 vision thank you! 😊 I did read your earlier post the wrong way. Not surprising though as of the 7 games you listed, 6 were what you WANTED to happen and 1 (apparently) was what you THOUGHT would happen. I’ll let you off though. And you were right, Bristol are shyte. Ridiculous over reaction to ACW by the way.

It's not either/or though is it? These debates always seem to descend into black and white arguments where it is only possible to win playing ugly and playing more attractive football inevitably means losing. That's just not the case. Credit to Barnsley for finding a style that suits them. It's working for them, but it's not the only way to play to get results. The problem is, beautiful AND winning football costs hundreds of millions these days. You have to work with what you've got. Squeeze everything out of the talent at your disposal. At the end of the day, is it us or Barnsley fans enjoying this season more? I take your points, but I still don't think that the route one style of Barnsley is the only way to get results in this division when finances are tight. It's not a case of either playing like Man City or like 80s/90s Wimbledon. Football is not that black and white. There are grey areas between.

Again-aint going to happen I suppose worry is what comes naturally with supporting a team, a few weeks ago we were nailed on for relegation with 15 games to go, i was one of those who remained positive and confident we`d turn it around and we`re well on the way to doing that, cant help being concerned though!

Add to that, Town have a very tough run in whilst Rotherham and Wednesday have much easier ones. This isn’t done yet.

Too hard to gauge what an easy run is at this stage of the season. A few weeks ago, looking at Sheff Wed v Cardiff you'd say a Cardiff win was a shoe in, same with Swansea against Birmingham. We also do better against the teams higher up the table. I'd bet looking back over the years that perceived easy run ins for teams have rarely been just that.

The three on the bottom three places at this stage looked doomed and all survived. Anything can happen. Cardiff's pathetic display tonight is an example. Town are far from safe.

How many of our current strikers would you have backed to finish that? Be a good addition if the rumours are true.

A worry would be Wednesday going on a run like Wigan did last season. Rotherham on Saturday is utterly MASSIVE. !
The championship has no equal for drama..

We have 8 games left I can't see us picking up less than 3 points in all those games. It's in our own hands and if we don't stay up it is entirely our own doing..

5 now and its Mary Berry for me from now on. Worst thing is we all know Town will lose tomorrow then the pressure is really on Saturday. That Rotherham at home game is one of those we never seem to win.

One swallow doesn't make a summer as far as Wed are concerned.
In context of their season, this game and score is very much the exception.
