The relegation battle National division ep 9

Well survival Sunday has returned it’s verdict :

Forest 1 Watford 2 and Cardiff 0 Leeds 2

We know have a clearer view on things.

Reading finished the season with 16 pts and a -18 goal difference.

Watford finished the season with 17 pts and a -23 goal difference.

Cardiff has 2 games to play 15 pts and a -7 goal difference

Forest has 1 game to play 14 pts and a -21 goal difference

Forest need to beat Coventry at home to stay up. Any other result would mean going down.

Cardiff will be safe with 2 pts from Villa away and Sunderland. I don’t think they will get anything against Sunderland who needs to win that game to take the title.  So it will probably go the last games played with no date set yet…

it’s very difficult to know who will stay up as all 4 teams are with a chance but remember Watford 1 point after 11 games played and have finished with 17 in 18. If they stay up, that will be some kind of incredible achievement.
