I think it'll be the three that are currently in there. Rotherham's home form will keep them up and I think Reading will do just enough.
A reality check for people here isn't it. Many of us agreeing the bottom 3 will actually include us. Because we'll need so many signings to get to the 12-14 wins we need.

12-14 wins is something over an overestimation, that would give us 50-56 points and that's assuming we don't pick up any draws between now and the end of the season. I suspect this season 46 points will be enough to stay up so we could win 8, draw 8 and lose 8 between now and the end of the season and probably just about stay up. That said, it would still need a big upturn in form for us to achieve that kind of form over the second half of the season. I'm also not convinced we need several players, 2 or 3 of genuine quality would do, I'm just sceptical about whether we'll get those players in.

I think we'll give it a good go but fall just shy - our run in is not particularly pretty either....

win 8, draw 8 and lose 8 =32 points
Which would mean we'd need a similar 2nd half of the season to that which the likes of Villa, Swansea, Stoke, QPR and Birmingham have had over the first half of the season. i.e. top half form.

Do we have a top half team?
Nope, which is why I feel ultimately we'll fall short.
