    As things stand, pre-kick-off at Charlton, it is possible, though, admittedly, highly unlikely, that we could stay up by winning one and losing one of our final two games. This would require Charlton to beat Wigan and for Wigan then to lose their final game v Fulham, which would leave Wigan on 45 points at the end of the season (unless their appeal is successful). It would also require Hull v Luton to be a draw and both Hull and Luton to lose their final games, against Cardiff and Blackburn respectively. Hull and Luton would then both finish on 46 points. Our superior goal difference, should we win one game and lose the other (unless the defeat is by a massive margin) would then see us stay up, with us, Hull and Luton all on 46 and Wigan on 45.
    An unlikely scenario, it must be admitted, but it is clear that we need Hull v Luton to end as a draw. Victory for us against Forest would then see us go above both. A Charlton win v Wigan would see us go above Wigan too and out of the bottom three ( assuming the failure of Wigan's appeal), going into the last game.
    If Wigan's appeal were to be successful, then we would clearly want them to beat Charlton. All the uncertainty around this and the possible points deduction for Wednesday ( I fear that no news in this regard = bad news), at such a late stage in the season, is outrageous.

    A points deduction for admin usually goes without saying. It's just our luck that on this occasion there's doubt about it.

    All a bit academic because Wigan are on fire, propelled by their cut price strike force and midfielder who we cocked up the deal for.

    Don’t forget their mass spending that they couldn’t afford!

    Plus, results pending, they play Fulham last game of the season who could be in with a shout of automatic promotion.
