    Looking at the remaining fixtures I think its all in Luton's hands, they play 3 or 4 of the current bottom teams (mostly at home too) if they win those games they will stay up IMO.

    Its all in our hands too - if we beat Luton Stoke and win a couple of others we will stay up.
    Knowing us we will win a couple and go into the last 3 games needing 2 wins, will get one then bottle it against Brentford

    4 wins I don't care who against. Looking at it like that softens the blow of the silly defeats to Birmingham, Cardiff City and Reading. You have to have a throw away attitude in this situation. If you dwell on it you might as well pack in.

    I think we’ve now reached a point where accepting a point tonight isn’t good enough. We have to start winning games and, with all due respect to clearly a good team like Blackburn (and Millwall at the weekend just gone), home games against them are ones we should be looking to win, not accepting a draw.

    I think 48 points might be enough which means we’ll need 3 wins and a draw (10 points) to be safe. I don’t expect us to win both games against Luton and Stoke, so it means we’ll need at least 2 wins from tonight, Wigan, Forest, Leeds and Brentford. I’d rather not have to rely on results against the last 3 and Wigan are flying at the minute!

    It’s not quite drinking in the last chance saloon but we’re now queuing up outside the entrance. Let’s hope it’s one bar that doesn’t open on Saturday!!!

    I'd take a point against a Blackburn side looking up rather than down.
