TasmanSeaSkyBlue · Apr 29, 2015

I've just perused the League 1 form guide for the past 6 games & home/away form. Using just one of my crystal balls, for Sunday, I predict with no real faith:-
Preston will beat Colchester;
MK Dons will beat Yeovil;
Swindon will beat Leyton Orient;
Gillingham & Notts Co will draw &
Crawley will beat Coventry.
Then the 4 relegated clubs will be in no particular order: Yeovil; Leyton Orient; Colchester & Notts Co!

An escape by the skin of our Sky Blue teeth! Then comes the releasing of ..................

Take a six pack of beer & call me on Monday.

I was too excited about staying up, I forgot the Crewe game! Make that one an away win for the Bantams.

Still "An escape by the skin of our Sky Blue teeth!"

jackdg · Apr 29, 2015

I've an idea... How about we have 'traffic trouble', get the kick off delayed by 15 minutes, wait for Notts County to fail to win, play out an event less draw, wait 40 years for the Notts County fans to get over it?

Just a though

skybluetony176 · Apr 29, 2015

We go down. Got that terrible feeling.

The only slight issue with this is that it would immortalise Waggot.

cmoncity · Apr 29, 2015

All the teams are playing teams with very little to play for apart from Preston. Crewe will beat bradford, Crawley i think will beat us, gillingham notts on paper should be a draw but notts have way more to play for and orient will beat swindon as swindon will rest players im sure. So by reckoning we will be down unless we get a result of some form

cmoncity · Apr 29, 2015

As ibthink notts co will win. Preston will beat colchester no doubt so there not an issue

bigfatronssba · Apr 29, 2015

Crawley to beat us.

Notts County to beat Gillingham.

Bradford to beat Crewe.

We stay up by the skin of our teeth.

Astute · Apr 29, 2015

Gillingham have good home form. Don't think they will lose. So that will put us safe. And our away form has been decent. Could be counted as very good recently. So go for a draw. That would also have us safe.

skybluesam66 · Apr 29, 2015

Crawley/ notts co/ crewe 17.27/1
Crawley / notts co / crewe draw 26.4 /1

so you can get an average of 10/1 on us going down - which is much better than the 7 or 8/1 on offer

standupforcity · Apr 29, 2015

Extra simplified....All we need is a draw, then other results don't matter

letsallsingtogether · Apr 29, 2015

KTF City to win.
Biggest win of the season

steveecov · Apr 29, 2015

If results are pear-shaped at half-time, the formation (a joke in itself) will go from 4-4-2 to 1-1-8 immediately.

Even if we survive this time, I feel this is the 999th cut.

Thanks for the memories; I'll still go on about them every time I'm lubricated enough with people who want (or don't want) to listen.

R.I.P Sky Blues.

And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Houchens Head · Apr 29, 2015

We just need to pack the defence on Sunday. If Crawley don't score then it's a guaranteed draw at least. Boring, I know, but at least we'll be safe! 8 defenders, 1 midfield and 1 striker! Simple! :claping hands: Gimme the managers job!

We aren't good enough to invite pressure for 90 minutes.

Astute · Apr 29, 2015

All we need to do is play how we have been playing away from home. I hope for another performance like against Bristol.

no_loyalty · Apr 29, 2015

Don't worry Cody will save us, he will bag a brace against Notts County

Paxman II · Apr 29, 2015

No chance of going down. In fact I don't believe we will get beat. The players are aware we only need a point.

There you go, Nick. Amended for you.

The players will also be aware that we can lose and still stay up. Crawley have to win.

I think their will, will be much stronger than ours.

Or they will let the pressure get to them more than we do.

I think Crawley are Chocolate HobNobs compared to our Crumbly, flaky biscuits.

They will leave gaps all over the place for us to expose with our electrifying pace on the counter ... Il get my coat.

Electrifying pace, or flat battery amble?

steveecov · Apr 29, 2015

"Not able" has been saving himself for this one.

SkyBlueRuffian · Apr 29, 2015

There's only one outcome imo

Gazolba · Apr 30, 2015

A lot depends on when the goals are scored. I'm sure all the games will be played at the same time and every team will be immediately notified of the scores in other games. I don't think we can play for a draw unless both Crewe and Notts Co are losing. The scores at half-time will be crucial to deciding the second-half tactics. I'm hoping we are at least a goal up at half-time and neither Crewe or Notts Co are ahead. It should be an exciting and nerve-biting 90 minutes. The worst possible scenatio would be if both Crewe and Notts Co are winning and we are drawing at 85 minutes.

phildownunder · Apr 30, 2015

I don`t know what will happen on Sunday any better than anyone else but without suggesting we should just play for a draw from the start, I would happily take us drawing at 85 minutes. By then I would think the pressure on Crawley would be huge, with a bit of desperation thrown in, and a chance for us to maybe even nick a late goal ourselves.

Paxman II · Apr 30, 2015

Three teams have to win. We may even stay up with a defeat. Stranger things have happened I know but come on...

3 teams have to win? :thinking about: Who?

We just need a draw to survive. But if we lose, Crewe just need a draw to overtake us. It is only Notts County that have to win.

For Crewe just a draw will do for them if we lose. Crewe draw and Notts County win, we're down if Crawley beat us.

Not sure where you get your 3 from.

Is that so unlikely? Three of our relegation rivals winning, it happened as recently as 5 days ago.

skybluelee · Apr 30, 2015

Taking emotion out of the situation, here's what the bookies say;

Colchester 1/12
L Orient 1/8
Crawley 8/13
Notts County 4/5
Crewe 8/1
Us 8/1

Like others have said, a lot would have to go wrong for us to go down, and the bookies agree.

skybluelee · Apr 30, 2015

The bookies also make us marginal favourites to win the game on Sunday. Make of that what you will.

That is simply not true for the reasons already outlined by Otis.
