We have 12 games left, in the last 6 we have shown ourselves to be capable of getting ourselves away from the drop. That momentum is what gives us a good chance of survival and it is that momentum we need to get behind.
If we go down, and I'm hopeful we won't, it will be because of the poor decisions in the first 2/3rds of the session.
Of course it's going to be another rollercoaster but we have something to get behind now.

Almost every season we've had something to play for; almost until the end. Life is a rollercoaster. Ride it and enjoy!

Looks like Blackburn have the toughest run-in, but other than that, there’s tons of the proverbial 6 pointers for all the teams there.
Definitely a destiny in their own hands for all the teams. Hopefully we can get the points in the bag before the last home game of the season, otherwise it’ll be chaos on here, citing the Brum induced relegation from a few yrs back.
It would also be nice going into the Ipswich game being safe, and knowing Ipswich could deal a ko blow to the Shite from down the road…

A lot of football to be played. The table doesn’t reflect the form of some clubs sitting there on 44 points and seemingly sleep walking - Watford & Bristol spring to mind. Sheff Wed and QPR picking up points - as are we- I think we would have all taken 4 points out 6 from Watford away and Leeds at home.
All we can do is continue to pick up those points. There will be surprise results (Leicester at the weekend 18 attempts on goal but still lost).
We are in much better shape than before Xmas. We have options now. The fight and desire seen on Saturday shows us that our lads are for the fight. Watford/Bristol look like they can’t be arsed.

Safe and Ipswich needing to beat us to go up automatic at the expense of Leeds. Oh somebody make that happen. |

Town to finish on 56 points; I think 51 will be enough to stay up. Tipping Rotherham, Blackburn and Stoke to NOT reach that mark. I think this will be the season where it is more than 51 points to stay up actually, probably in the region of 53/54 I don't know why I get that feeling, but all bottom sides, for most part have made changes and are making strides. Well, you never know in advance, of course. You might be right about teams needing 53/54 points, but I just don't see Blackburn and Stoke keeping up with the other teams who are (admittedly) making strides. Blackburn, for me, are the ones who might be able to prove me wrong (massive next 2 games v Millwall and Plymouth at home for them, coming up). We'll see - I think Plymouth are involved in 6 relegation crunchers but they might be out of sight if they win the first three of them. Very complicated to see everything beforehand - loads of permutations. Great time to be a football fan in seeing how it will all pan out! Certainly hope you're not right about it being 53/54 points needed, because that would be a little too close for comfort for Town! |

Six in action tonight, Wendies I think will beat Plymouth, Stoke on a double at Lids look unlikely to do that but could fight tooth & nail for a point, Brum (at Hull) without TM look a bit lost & Blackburn v Millwall is anyone's guess (draw then)......57/1 acca or Stoke lose 13/1, (laugh or cry) win 94/1.

Maybe a draw between Plymouth and the Wendies would be best. Would be good to stop any momentum that Wednesday have picked up, but also continue Argyle's poor form.
Possibly the same with Millwall and Blackburn

There is only Watford outside of the top 9 that have lost fewer (or in this case as few) than us. Its bonkers how many wins we have turned into draws this season. We could be talking about a late challenge for the play offs if it wasn't for bore draw Moore

It’s gonna be truly bloody epic in The Championship this season for certain... Let’s just hope n’ pray that it’s got the happy ending that we all desire !
I mean everyone down at the nest of vipers are beating plenty teams at the top Matchday in, Matchday out on a regular basis -
I don’t think that we have the worst run in by any manner or means but we will ABSOLUTELY NEED TO BE ON IT and be on it big time as well...
I was down at the penultimate game of last season v Sheffield United when we secured our Championship Status and it was awesome, awesome indeed -
Without a doubt it was the finest of some 25 or so HTAFC matches I’d been at live...
Hopefully it’ll be the same in the penultimate match of this season that I intend to go to v Birmingham City -
But truly Hopefully it won’t go that far and Huddersfield Town’s Championship Status is secured well before Saturday 27th April ! 👍

We could be talking about a late challenge for the play offs if it wasn't for bore draw Moore The way I look at that, is our defence is much better than a relegation scrap, we just need to put teams away. Thankfully we’ve been scoring pretty regularly this year, we could really do with our new strikers chipping in with a few now. |

Our defence has been fairly good, up until the 90th minute of a game I've just had a look through our results and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but we have thrown away 8 points this season by conceding after the 90th minute. We would be all the way up in 12th without those points dropped. |

Wednesday to go down on 54 points anyone? |

Twice denied a point against Hull in the home and away games, then we dropped two points at QPR and Swansea in injury time. We've scored last-gasp goals too, mind, might just be about even over the season so far. |

It has not helped that DM did not get the team as fit as they should have been, we looked to have run out of steam towards the end of matches under his reign. |

Rotherham are on course to break the record for lowest ever 2nd tier points tally since 3 points for a win.
That record is 29 points, and it's held by.... Rotherham.

8 teams separated by just 2 points. 6 points between 23rd and 12th. Absolute madness. Gotta love the championship.
Think it's the widest relegation fight I've ever seen. Teams even as high Sunderland in 10th (only 9 clear) might have a wobble and plummet.
Haven't the foggiest who will end up there, just hoping there's two worse than Town! (Assuming Rotherham are gone)

I think this is the calmest i've been about our relegation run-in's since we got back to the Championship. It's wide open and we finally have our house in order.

Scary thing is there are some really good teams in and amongst the ones at threat of relegation, Stoke were unlucky not to gain at least a point v L**ds last night, Wednesday are flying since we beat them, QPR the same, I dont see any of those three being relegated (barring points deduction for QPR) so that means 2 others. I suspect luck and injuries will play a part and we'll probably see two decent sides relegated. Fingers crossed we can get some points on the board before it starts to get very nervy.

You might say it would serve them right for getting rid of a manager who was doing very well, same with Brum (and us of course  ) |

We’ve lost the least amount of games in the bottom half, if it wasn’t for Mooreball draws we’d be in no danger. We should be fine but this is Town, don’t wanna be going to Ipswich needing anything especially if they can still topple Leeds
