Away Match Day Thread +++ 23/03/2019 Coventry City v OUFC +++

What's happened is that teams in mid-table have taken their foot off the gas, whereas teams at the bottom have picked up points. That's bunched everyone up, and also made it difficult to escape the clutches of the relegation zone despite getting a few decent results. Those former mid-table teams are the ones who should be fearful - Wycombe and Southend in particular. At the end of January, Wycombe were 9th with 42 points, and Southend were 12th with 38 points. We were on 31 points and outside the relegation zone on goal difference. 8/9 games later, we've gained 15 points, Southend have gained 4 and Wycombe only 2.
In the last 20 years, no team has gone down with 52 points. A few have gone with 51 but not very often. Two wins from the next three very winnable games would give us almost certain safety. But when do things ever go to plan?

Yes that's the perspective.
2 wins and I reckon we will be there. Probably less.
Let's do it as soon as possible!
