No surprise to see the Wirral card shark on the relegation clash. Let’s hope he’s in a good mood  ;D

It won't be a relegation clash if Rotherham win tonight, it will be pretty much a dead rubber.
If rotherham win tonight, big if on present form, and lose heavily at cardiff on sunday then it could be a three way shoot out, that would make life interesting.

They would have to lose very heavily on that final day.  They already have a 5 goal advantage on Wednesday and 6 on Derby, but they have also scored more so essentially that means it is a 6 and 7 goal lead.  Win tonight and that becomes 7 and 8, and I can't remember a situation where a 7 or 8 goal difference swing has happened on the last game of the season.  Added to that Derby and Wednesday's forwards are incapable of hitting a cow's arse with a banjo and are amongst the lowest scorers in the division, 3 points tonight for Rovrum means it is all over unfortunately.

Am I missing something here? If Rotherham win tonight they will go level with Derby on 43 points. So Derby v Sheff Wed will still be a massive game on Saturday. Derby would need to better Rotherham's result to stay up regardless of goal difference?

If Rotherham win, they are effectively safe as both Derby and Sheffield Wednesday can't overtake them as they are playing each other!

But they aren't though. They will be fourth bottom and above Derby on goal difference only. So if Derby better Rotherham's result on Saturday Rotherham will go down.

Sorry, you're right. I'd misread the points.

Anyway, they didn't win at Luton, so it's a bit clearer now.
