Final day of the season. Huddersfield, Reading and QPR are on equal points and only two of the three can survive.
QPR have a vastly inferior goal difference but manage to beat a Bristol City team who are already on the beach. So both Huddersfield and Reading MUST win to guarantee survival and send the other one down.
I don't think my nerves could stand it!

Before that last game, QPR play Norwich at home and go away to Burnley and Stoke. Just hoping they lose those and we sneak a win somewhere before then.

Looking at the midweek fixtures, we could still afford to lose at Sunderland (which I expect us to do anyway)
Blackpool v WBA
Rovrum v Burnley
Stoke v Wigan
Sunderland v Town
QPR v Norwich
Watford v Cardiff
Reading v Luton
Tough games all round for the strugglers. 🤞

Just hope Pritch doesn't get an acyst or worse still a goal from a direct free kick. In the old days he would have got a welcome crunching tackle in the first 5 mins,LOL.

Still never get this booing a player before or during a game... it only spurs them on. Then when said player scores and shushes or cups their ear, fans go mental eg. Pritchard. Boo them at the end, boo them if they get subbed off. |

I’m going to stick my neck out and say that I think we’ll be ok. I’ve not a clue about what the margin might be like, but I think that now we have 4-5 teams firmly in the equation, it helps us enormously. We have a little bit of form at present, or at least tactically we’re a bit more robust.
However, I don’t doubt it will be an absolute fecking nightmare for us all, particularly whilst we have that enforced break and the earliest we can affect our own destiny is a huge game in S Wales.
Had you asked me this same Q early March, I thought our goose was cooked.

I think after yesterday we need 4 points from somewhere, a win at Sunderland and I’d like to think we’d stay up from there. (Easier said than done)
We should appreciate being in with a shout considering where we were in March!

Had you asked me this same Q early March, I thought our goose was cooked. I've said it before, but half time v Norwich in the rain with probably smallest league crowd for 10 years it was over. I was fully resigned to it, totally accepted. If we go now after the run its going to be far harder to take. |

So both Huddersfield and Reading MUST win to guarantee survival and send the other one down. I don't think my nerves could stand it!Me neither ! - I’m such a pure nervous blouse in these situations and for The Premier League play off (ironically v Reading) I could’ve ultimately had an awesome day in the best footy bar but chose to go a spin in ma motor up to the beautiful back sticks rural single track roads in The Whisky Isle and received 14 texts after I switched the mobile on at 6pm and eventually when I hit a Vodafone hotspot at Killinallen then I knew by that amount we’d won ! 😊 Should your scenario prevail, I’ll be in The West Island and probably follow the same route as it proved lucky the last time - again if I knew we’d win then the pub would be awesome but I’m such a pussy I don’t think ma ticker would stand the tension or I’d probably have to run outside to spew everywhere with bloody nerves so it’d probably be the touring about with the CD player on for Westie that day ! |

Those two home draws aginst Norwich and Bristol city were hugely disappointing at the time, but those points might yet turn out to be priceless which at the time we didnt much care about one way or the other, to most it was curtains, its true when folk say 'they all add up'. |

We'll need either 1 point or more to guarantee survival going into the last game. This is Huddersfield Town we're talking about, nothing is ever simple.......

This entire season has been a nightmare. I think our survival,or not, could come down to fine margins and maybe some luck.
It potentially all depends if the footballing gods are prepared to give us a break. Maybe we might be owed some good fortune after Wembley in May?
I think if we do escape we will have been incredibly fortunate. To be fair over the season we have been a bottom 3 side. When the final whistles blow on May 8 we will be were we deserve to be. Hopefully that's on the right side of the drop line.

When you think of those late late goals conceded at Hull, Blackpool and Blackburn at home plus the goal that never was in the home match against Blackpool we could easily now be sitting on 48 points.
I know these things are supposed to balance out, but they never seem to go our way. Perhaps they do but I tend not to remember them.

Best case scenario would be for both Town and Reading to need just one point to survive. We can then enjoy the most boring 0-0 in history before having a joint celebration in every pub ☺

I know these things are supposed to balance out, but they never seem to go our way. Perhaps they do but I tend not to remember them. Hull and Blackpool away more so. Hull being what, 8mins into added time, Blackpool ahead twice v 10 men. Blackburn arguably we were lucky to get a point, and Blackpool at home, we may have still lost that game anyway. Either way, you can't help but think about late goals we've conceded. The enforced break petrifies me, and that won't change one iota unless we get something (ideally 3 points) on Tuesday. Thing is, at this stage of the season (as we've seen with us recently), form can go out of the window and you can get some very unexpected results because you might see 2nd v 21st as an easy home win, but if teams have something to play for at this stage of the season, it just seems to result in it not being as obvious as you expect |

We have a habit of not performing well in big games, with big crowds at home, especially the last game of the season. Remember - until Luton last year, we had never won a home leg of a play-off. |

If we go down now, we go down fighting rather than the meek acceptance of relegation that we looked like doing so before the world cup. We have pride back, and that's important. |
