Huddersfield Town can still be relegated – here’s what would have to happen

Matches

I firmly believe that Huddersfield Town are safe and will play next season in the Championship. However, there is a ridiculously unlikely combination of events that could take place that could see them relegated. Sitting on 51 points on the table means that Town cannot finish in the bottom two positions but it's mathematically possible for them to finish third from bottom. But's it's seriously unlikely. Here's what would have to happen: Town would have to lose to Millwall first and foremost.

It was a cruel, but not unpredictable, blow when Mitrovic scored the 91st-minute winner at Craven Cottage. Of all the defeats Town have suffered this season, and there’s plenty to pick from, this feels like the most sickening. It was a game we could have taken something from if we’d have shown a bit of ambition, but familiar problems led to a tepid display that a relatively poor Fulham team were able to exploit. Negative tactics and selection I my last post I congratulated David Wagner’s bold decisions for our Boxing D...
