With Crewe playing Coventry on the last day of the season there is a scenario that could see us already safe by this time next week. We need to be above both those sides by 5pm Saturday.
We need to win at Rotherham, Coventry lose at home to Derby, and Crewe fail to win at Ipswich.
That would leave us at least 4 points ahead of Forest with one game to play, therfore they can't catch us. We would only need to finish above one more side
We would be a point above Coventry, and at least 2 points ahead of Crewe.
A Crewe win would mean Coventry are still beolw us, a Coventry win would leave Crewe below us, and a draw would would also leave Crewe below us. Gillingham losing both their games in this scenario could see them relegated.
So, our Ideal results for next Saturday are: We win at Rotherham, Coventry lose at home to Derby, and Crewe fail to win at Ipswich.
= safety
