Looking @ all those around us, sorry above us, as we start Wigan’s own Alamo battle to ensure we have a 7th year in the Premier League.
It’s a fine morning in Wigan today, so the battle lines are drawn, let’s see who we are fighting against to ensure Premier League safety?
The League Table today 19th March 2011:
12 Stoke 29 -6 34 – 1 win 1 draw in last 6 @ Home to Newcastle
13 Aston Villa 29 -13 33 – 2 wins 2 draws in 6 @ Home to Wolves
14 Blackburn 29 -12 32 – 1 win 1 draw in 6 @ Home to Blackpool
15 Blackpool 29 -15 32 – 1 win 1 draw in 6 & Away to Blackburn
16 West Brom 29 -15 32 – 1 win 4 draws in 6 @ Home to Arsenal
17 Birmingham 28 -12 31 – 2 wins 2 draws in 6 & Away to Wigan
—————————–
18 West Ham 29 -13 31 – 3 wins 2 draws in 6 & Away to Spurs
19 Wolves 29 -15 29 – 2 wins 2 draws in 6 & Away to Aston Villa
20 Wigan 29 -23 27 – 1 win 2 draws in 6 @ Home to Birmingham
Worse Case Scenario Wigan could remain on 27 points be 6 points off Safety, really 7 points with our goal difference & a gap appearing of 5 points between Wigan & 19th place.
Now for the Positive, a good win today against Birmingham, with other results going our way and though we’d remain in the relegation zone moving up to 19th, the cause would be easier. We’d be 1 point from safety, okay 2 with our goal difference (damn those first 2 matches), but also teams above us wouldn’t be too far away with 14th place just a win away.
Accentuate the positive.
