So what are we hoping for from this match? What would be the best result for Leicester?

Personally, I think the worst result would be a Portsmouth win. That'd put them 4 points ahead of us, on equal matches, and mean they could actually lose against us but stay above us by matching our other results. A win for Oxford would leave them both within reach, though anything except a victory for us today would mean that Oxford had the upper hand. I suppose the best result would be a draw, putting them both above us before we play Sheffield, adding to the pressure but meaning a win for us and we get to see a light.

Pompey to draw and an away win at Hillsborough would be the best of results but ....... The Owls are without a home win this season, Leicester have won one in 14, Wednesday go a goal up and shut shop, the home fans are fired up, our lot crumble again. Or we score early, go on to get the 3 points. Who is confident about this?

Elcrapico , two sides who have conceded 143 goals between them
The difference Wednesday are playing kids and we have several players on £50k plus a week
We lose this and we deserve to go down
Wednesday one win in forty , no wins at home , you know the rest

What a strange thing for YOU to say.

It's as though you don't really think it's a certainty that we are relegated.

Even winning this doesn't mean we "deserve to stay up". Beating Wednesday, Portsmouth and Blackburn would mean we don't deserve to go down, probably.
 
Portsmouth are looking like they'll beat us.

Do we have the scrappers in our fancy squad that can fight these battles. We've not shown that so far.
 
If we are worrying about other teams and got a monthly wage bill nearly as big as Oxfords annual bill we have a problem
 
Even Millwall Norwich working out. Plausible Millwall could be out of the automatic picture and preserving for play offs by the time we play them.

Get out there and show a set of balls for a change today 🦊

So far it has gone just as I expected, I hoped that I got it wrong but it is another stinker so far.
