The battle is to finish about 2 of Oxford, Pompey and Charlton as others said. 
 

all 4 of us poor teams, interestingly Charlton are at Leicester for the early kick off Saturday so we’ll go into our game with a chance to go above them with a win or could be starting 6 behind but in turn with the points deduction that could pull Leicester in but they’ll have enough to get back out.

I don’t understand how people can look at WBAs form and not include them in the equation.

Yeah WBA are right in it.

Far too much football to be played to say "x is definitely going down" apart from Sheffield Wednesday of course.

Two things with West Brom - on paper they shouldn't be in trouble, and I don't think their ownership will sit back and risk their investment going down the drain and not act. I expect if this new manager of theirs doesn't shape himself quickly he'll be replaced.

For some strange reason they seem to be wedded to this obsession with employing young inexperienced head coaches. But that will change if they are at serious risk of League One.

This is why I think they'll be fine. They clearly have big issues but they have a good handful of players who would get in 75%+ of the teams within this league. Gut tells me they'll start moving upwards soon.
