Derby 3 wins in a week. Luton 7 points from 4.
Plymouth fighting hard also.
Yes I get you could say despite the other teams picking up we still aren't in the bottom 3 but looking at derby fixtures I'd expect them to get 50 points plus from here.
I've got derby beating Preston swansea Luton and stoke. Takes them to 50 and maybe points v pompey and hull also.
Re: FT: BLACKBURN ROVERS 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
The worry was a side below us would go on a run. Derby are doing it. I'm not convinced about Luton they just had the fortune of playing us.
46 a couple of weeks ago looked like it might do it. I reckon now it's 48-51.
I dont think we will get 50.
We definitely can't gift either Stoke or Oxford 3 points.
Aways v Preston and QPR are more than winnable mind.
It's brilliant we got 3 points yesterday but with our coaching set up I think we are in serious trouble.

This is one of the main reasons why we are where we are in the league
Every match between now and the end of the season has to be approached in the same way
We need wins to keep us up!!!
I was surprised by the Salech substitution, maybe it was down to him fasting so energy levels had dropped?
I hadn't thought of thar, you could be right.

Yesterday means we still have a fighting chance but I would rate our chances of staying up at only 40/60. An awful lot comes down to Riza's team selections from now til the end of the season. Keep Goutas and Daland off the pitch is a must, also El Lazy and Willock.

To be honest, I haven't even thought about points totals or who will need to do what. The results in this division are all over the shop, hence I don't hold too much store in the alleged six-pointers. The top three sides are decent enough without being brilliant, but the rest mostly vary between being bang average or rubbish. Sunderland have over-achieved for much of the campaign but seem to be dropping away now, while Coventry have had a great run, but I don't think you can predict results involving any of the sides from fourth down with any certainty. Therefore, trying to judge who has a decent run-in and who doesn't is practically impossible.
Yesterday's results were a great example of what I'm saying. Cardiff and Oxford beat two alleged play-off contenders, Luton and Hull secure draws against two more play-off contenders, while Stoke and Pompey get beaten by mid-table also-rans.
The picture will change week to week and, as I've said, it'll probably go to the wire. I think Plymouth are done, they're just not good enough, but the rest of the relegation contenders are much of a muchness in terms of their ability to put runs together and win points.

Something that didn't happen a much yesterday as it has in previous games this season, is that we didn't get bullied a much as we usually do sporadically, during games. And it's quite often a precursor to us going a goal. This Riza team are soft all over the pitch. I would go a far as to say that if we weren't, then we would be a few places higher up the league.

We can’t seem to play at home….need some crowds an atmosphere I reckon like when we took the jacks apart. Time for some offers Vincent ? Stoke and Oxford both in Easter holidays? Whatchugunnado vinnie?

Glad that next games 3pm. Weds will have a good following and the home crowd hopefully will respond.

After the Luton debacle and the scores of yesterday he had no choice. He doesn’t seem a natural ‘must win’ sort of character.

You’d think so, five home games to go? The invisible marketing dept really need to get a rocket up it, probably don’t even realise the difference and extra 5000 + could make….Vincents £200 million could be down to £10 million if we do t win those home games.
