Just doing the preview, maths-wise, the relegation picture is thus, is it not?
Town, 14 points from safety with only five to play, have to beat Birmingham in order to put off the inevitable until Good Friday when they face Preston at Deepdale, but even then they require results elsewhere to go in their favour.
The Blues would effectively be relegated if one of Wigan, Reading or Millwall pick up a point this weekend given the situation regarding goal difference. If those sides win, then Town are down mathematically.

Thats what I've worked out too. |  |

For mathematical certainty... We MUST beat Brum tomorrow, and hope that Millwall, Wigan and Reading don't all win to take the maths to PNE on Good Friday.
A point for each of them (and us winning) leaves us needing whichever of them drops points to lose every game, us win every game ans a pretty unlikely Goal Difference swing.
So yes, what you said, although they all need to win tomorrow.... if one of them loses all bar one of their games and draws the other, we win all ours, and we claw back the GD, then we stay up. [Post edited 12 Apr 2019 11:30]

IF we won, all 3 of those teams would need a point or more to put us down (or Rotherham to win if one didn't). In fact, as technically we could still make the same number of points, we would still not be mathematically down if any one of them didn't win.
The fact we won't win means the other results are irrelevant anyway. Would be nice if we just saw us play well and compete for the rest of the season. |  |

Effectively, anything other than a win tomorrow and we are down. Everyone we are chasing is on 41
A draw would put us on 28 points with 12 available = 40 points max | |

We have to beat Birmingham. But if one or more of the teams on 41 points loses and Rotherham do not win, then we will still be 11 points behind, plus GD, with 12 points to play for. So not quite mathematically down (we'd need to win all remaining fixtures and at least one of them lose all).
So all of Wigan, Reading and Millwall need to pick up at least a point to seal our fate - if we win. |  |

If we win, all the teams on 41 have to win as well to make it mathematically certain.
I've had the Brum game down as the clincher for a while now.... | |

True, but it would require clawing back an 18 to 22 goal deficit over four matches. Which, given we'd have to win all four and them lose, is not impossible ... | |

Indeed - every time we win and the other team lose, the GD changes from both ends... ours improves and their's worsens. | |

I do love the tradition of blokes getting TWTD to do their jobs for them, but this was thoroughly depressing Hambo.

Appreciate the consumer info Phil. But come on this is not something to revel in.
This is hugely depressing and sad that this great club is now essentially playing at this absolute crud level of football. |  | | |

That is a fair point, the unlikely event of us winning all matches and everyone else losing all matches makes the goal difference being overturned less unlikely! So, probably worth taking out my <i>effectively</i> relegated scenario given that. [Edit]Actually no need to mention Rotherham[/Edit].

Not sure it's worth mentioning the goal difference - because for us to get out of it we'd have to win 4 and they lose 4 which would likely lead do a significant change in goal differences.
I'd stick to the points |  |

Yes, think that's right as Guthrum pointed out. The 'effectively' relegated scenario muddies the waters too much anyway I think, particularly as we're already in an 'effectively' position anyway.

So, am I right in putting this as the final version taking 'effectively' scenarios relating to goal difference out of it?
Town, 14 points from safety with only five to play, have to beat the Midlanders in order to put off the inevitable until Good Friday when they face Preston at Deepdale, but even then they require results elsewhere to go in their favour.
Even if they pick up all three points against Birmingham, the Blues will still be mathematically confirmed in League One if all three of Wigan, Reading and Millwall win. | | | |

Yes.

'Che Adams scored a 1st half brace to condemn the Blues to League 1 football next year. Town put up a good fight in the second half but, like in many other matches this season, were an absolute steaming pile of sh1t in both boxes' |  |

I think the fact is we are all but down regardless and have been for some time now.
We will be down if we fail to win. Winning would see us wait for the mathematical certainty to be confirmed unless Millwall, Reading and Wigan all win too. | |

I hate to be the barer of bad news, but even if we won all our remaining games, we are still down. Forget the maths, deal with reality. |  |

Don't league tables have that little R next to the relegated teams any more? Beeb and Graun tables don't seem to. Was quite looking forward to seeing it, something different. |  |

But none of that matters if our completed passes and possession stats are good.
Results are of absolutely no importance what we want is entertainment.
Being 29 points better off at this stage last season is irrelevant because the passing stats were not good.
Something like that anyway. |  | | |
