Danny Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 1 point from their last 6 games, a poor record that began with an absolute spanking from the mighty Brentford. Recently beaten 3-2 by Rotherham, you'd think being 11 points clear would be enough but with 11 games to go could they be sucked into a relegation battle? @The Rebel CRS @JOSHBRFC @roversgirl
Bluebird Hewitt Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I'll be shocked if Blackburn got relegated now, simply because I don't think all of the teams below them (except Bolton and Ipswich if course) will catch up with them.
Administrator Stan Posted March 4, 2019 Administrator Posted March 4, 2019 Don't be ridiculous. Not a chance they're going down purely based on the fact they'll get more points in those 11 games and there are 3 teams that are much worse than them below them at the moment. It'll be one of Rotherham, Reading or Wigan I'd say.
tlr Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 We don't have a bad squad by any stretch, our downfall is the fact we only play for the first 80 minutes, 4 of the last 5 games we have conceded in the final 10 minutes, and 3 we have dropped points because of it. Based on current form to the end of the season I only really fancy us beating Wigan and Bolton, but as the rest have said we have enough hopefully in the bag already to negate this - there are thre worse teams than us come May easily.
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted March 4, 2019 Subscriber Posted March 4, 2019 Our defence has been our main problem. I can't believe the turnaround since January where we looked like we may sneak in a playoff spot.

Expand Not sure if he's playing with an injury but he's played a part in every game since September, according to Transfermarkt. I know he and Graham got injured in a game a few weeks ago but he's still playing...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted March 4, 2019 Subscriber Posted March 4, 2019 I had to check the table after I read this thread as my initial reaction was "surely not". Having checked it, my answer is "surely not".

Expand Yeah I don’t think they will either but thought that 1 point from the last 18 was too good not to mention...especially after Mowbray just said they need to defend like men
Smiley Culture Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 The last relegation space in that league is going to be between Rotherham, Reading, Millwall and Wigan.
AMG Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Nah, they're fine. Bolton and Ipswich are done for, and I dont fancy Milwall's chances either
Lucas Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 It's a serious wobble but they should be ok. Two wins would just about do it I think. Plus once Shearer, Sutton, Hendry and Sherwood are fit again, they'll only improve further.
Carnivore Chris Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 At the start of the season I was expecting a relegation battle, so to start the season off looking like a side capable of promotion for the first half of it was encouraging in itself. I've always said that this season is all about survival and I think at this stage and that will still be the case I believe.

Pig on the Wing Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Not a chance. I think Reading will come down with us and Ipswich - I really admire Rotherham's resolve and they can actually score goals. Wigan will scrape safety, to my annoyance. Nobody else worth mentioning in the drop race, those three (plus the doomed two) are way off the pace.
