Tom8558 Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 I think that it is inevitable it will come down to the last game of the season. The question is, will we be in the driving seat with a result securing us promotion or will we have to hope results elsewhere go our way. Since Wigan play Villa on the last day, being 16th should keep us up. Liverpool play QPR and West Ham play Reading. Could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 Can't wait for our next promotion day Seriously though, I just have a nagging feeling that it'll boil down to this Sunderland game. Winner of that stays up, loser takes it to the last day. A draw would keep everyone still in it. Exciting though, but was hoping it wouldn't go to the last day, but alas it looks as if it will do unless we pickup a couple of quick home wins.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 Am I right in thinking Villa play Wigan on the last day? Could help us if both are still down there? They can't both win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 ...oh sorry, yeah I think it may well do. But, I think we may be in a better position than last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysaint Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 We'll be well safe by then after wins against Liverpool, Reading, West Ham and West Brom. We will start converting our chances and make our possession count. Just a question of who we are going to totally hammer by 4 or 5! I've got no worries about relegation whatsoever. Over the course of the season there are at least three teams worse than us..... Villa, Reading, QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
110_Persaint Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 After the Liverpool game we will all know the definitive answer to this question. Put simply, any less than three points next weekend and the answer's YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 stoke at home is as good a final fixture as you would want, they should have nothing to play for. As long as we are in the driving seat I wouldn't be too worried if it went down to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaneNero Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 Yes. Thankfully Stoke have only won 2 away games since LAST January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put simply, any less than three points next weekend and the answer's YES. Sorry? Why? If we get 0 points out of the next two, we still have a chance of being safe before we go into that Stoke game?!

Saint Garrett Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 Mathematically yes, but not realistically. Chances are that if we lose to Liverpool and Chelsea (although personally I think we'll get atleast a point from them 2 games) if we go to Reading and win, and then beat WHU at home, we're a couple of points away from being safe.

LGTL Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 I couldn't think of a worse team to lose to and seal our fate than Stoke and their knob of a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 Back to back wins? Really? Dear oh dear. QPR have done it, why can't we ?! Reading are ****e, and have just lost to both Wigan and Villa at home, and WHU are poor. If we put in a half decent performance and defend the long ball better than we did at their place, there is no reason why we can't win both of those games.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 It may, or may not, come down to the Stoke game, time will tell of course. It'll sure as hell be exciting if it does come down to that and isn't the sheer drama of massive games like that what football is all about? In any case Stoke are notoriously poor away from home and will be long encamped in their customary midtable finish by then I should think. So if we did fail to win this one then we'd deserve to be relegated I'd say. It's surly a vastly better prospect than the last time we were in that position and we had to beat Man Utd to stay up ...

If it's in our own hands we 'ought' to be able to beat Stoke, a win next week would be very timely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 11 March, 2013 Share Posted 11 March, 2013 Couldn't really ask for a better team to have to face on the final day of the season, if we do need something. Stoke are in shocking form, and they've been dreadful away from home. Anybody watch them against Fulham the other week? Answer to the original question, yes I think it will come down to this but we'll be outside the bottom 3 thus in control of our own destiny.
