Before tonight Wigan had taken 13 points from 18 since the restart, Hull just 4.
It’s not exactly a stretch to see a form team humiliating one which is plummeting (having sold anyone decent they had in January) toward league 1
Still a bullshit scoreline. Hull have been shit but not
that shit. Likewise, Wigan have been good of late but not
that and with current circumstances, more fishy than a microwaved Kipper.
As I say, couldn't give a fuck about either, I hope both teams go down and Luton pip them.
Charlton play today and if they beat Brum, they will only need a point to pretty much guarantee safety from their next match (Sat)...which happens to be...Wigan. Now if Charlton play out for a draw v Wigan then at 3pm that day is Luton v Hull. Either of them winning (I think Luton will win) will mean Wigan have to win their last game of the season to stay up. The pressure is on Wigan who have to keep getting results, even drawing is bad for them atm. What will make it more interesting is if Charlton either draw or lose v Brum. Because then in the fixture v Wigan they'll both need the 3pts even more so. Those types of games usually end up being a draw.
Going into the last game because I'm certain 2 or 3 will be battling the drop...
Hull away v Cardiff. Cardiff look like they still face a race to the end with Swansea for 6th spot so I see them going all out. Hull will likely need a win. A draw won be enough. Certainly not if they lose to Luton.
Charlton away v Leeds. Leeds can secure auto v Barnsley at home Thurs night and pretty much the title (any points dropped by Baggies hands it to Leeds. Brentford can play apart but I'm sure they would be happy sneaking 2nd). So it is likely that Leeds might relax. Certainly a chance for Charlton to grab all three in a 'shock' victory.
Wigan home v Fulham. A little result dependant concerning Fulham who may still have a slim hope (we'll know after Baggies v Udders result) of auto but it seems a favourable 'nothing' fixture for Wigan to get all three.
Luton home v Blackburn. Blackburn are pretty much on holiday mode, no PO hopes or Relegation worries. Players will be self absorbed in getting their agents to work on better/new deals while they organise holidays with the family. Focus will be like the fitness of a pre-preseason David Dunn. Luton off the back of beating the doomed Hull will seize this as an opportunity to escape via taking the points off a lethargic Blackburn.
If all of that plays out to roughly similar value, we'll end up with Barnsley bottom, then Hull. Interestingly Wigan would just survive on 49pts, Charlton just above them on around 50pts and Luton on 51pts. With Baggies likely to beat Hudders on Friday, they face Millwall away last game. Who incidentally are challenging for that last PO spot too (they play middling QPR in the penultimate tie). Hudders are very much in danger of joining Barnsley and Hull. They'd end up on their current total of 48pts, even 49pts (drawing with either Wall or Brom) would see them relegated by a significantly poor GD to Wigan.
I'm certainly keeping my peepers on Hudders. Still a fuck ton to play for in relegation and PO/Auto stakes, with seemingly all those teams playing crucial 6 pointers versus one another. Nice to be a neutral, I would not want to be a fan of those 5 bottom feeders and would probably have zero nails left if I was a Swans, Wall, Cardiff, Bees or Baggies fan either.
It's a fucking Nun's Chuff is that!
