What a bun fight this is going to be.
It is looking like being more exciting than the promotion fight.
Okay poor Rotherham are almost certainly gone but it is wide open for two more places.
Every set of games makes the bottom more horrifying for fans of many clubs this year.

Aston Villa's game against the Wurzels is going to be considered a '6-pointer' for Villa too. Win & they'll probably start to avert their freefall. Fail to win they're in trouble.
Villa's last 8 has resulted in: 0 Wins, 1 Draw, 7 losses (1 point).
Blackburn have 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses from their last 8 (9 points).
Wigan have 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses (11 points).
I'd love to see Villa (and their £60m worth of new players) heading down with Bristol, and Wigan & Blackburn escaping.
The final table predictor in The Star yesterday had us finishing 12th and Brizzle relegated.
I'll take that
I found a website that lets you predict the rest of the season's results and puts them into the table to see how it would end up
http://www.worldfootball.net/table_c...-championship/
Did the predictor to the end, got us finishing 10th 12 points off the play offs.
Rotherham, Wigan & Burton going down, the Wurzels survive on goal difference!
If each team continued their form from the last 6 games through to the end of the season the league would finish like this:
1 Huddersfield 106
2 Newcastle 102
3 Brighton 94
4 Sheff Wed 86
5 Reading 84
6 Fulham 82
7 Leeds 80
8 Norwich 75
9 Cardiff City 71
10 Preston 69
11 Derby 67
12 Barnsley 66
13 Burton 57
14 Brentford 56
15 Ipswich 56
16 QPR 55
17 Wolves 50
18 Nottm Forest 49
19 Birmingham 47
20 Wurzels 45
21 Blackburn 42
22 Wigan Athletic 41
23 Aston Villa 38
24 Rotherham 19
Fulham leading 0 - 1 at Ashton Gate (Piazon - 17th minute).
I can't think of any result from this match that would disappoint me. We are not going to trouble the top 6 so not too bothered if Fulham win (but I hope it is a hard game and they travel up and down the M4 lots) and Brizzle are hovering over the drop.
Will Total Football survive this barbarism?
0-1Fulham
0 - 2 (Cairney 52mins)
There was a great comment on the BBC Live blog before half time:
'Lee Johnson is not looking particularly happy'
The joy of understatement.
And Bristol 'Total Football' City lose again.
10th loss in 13 league games and a 13th loss in 17 league games.
Lovely.
I can see a real shock relegation looming. vIlla havent won since boxing day and if thats not bad enough have only won two of their last 36 away games. So long term and short term form is shocking. Birmingham have won one two games in 18 as rowett lost 3 of his last 4 and zola has won 1 in 14. There is no other clubs anywhere near as bad as them two right now.
Some huge games todayat the bottom. Bristol cant afford to lose ....
