I don't think we are. My original comment was suggesting we had to achieve something we had not done at all this season,

Lose and we're down
Draw and we're reliant on Rugby losing to stay safe
Win and Rugby lose or draw and we're safe
Win and Rugby win - then it all goes to goal difference or even goals scored, we need a swing in our favour.
So whilst I don't think anyone's taking a win for granted - it's the only real result that works for us to give ourselves the best possible chance of staying up.

We could lose and still stay up. It would obviously need Rugby to get a good battering 5-0 or so and a narrow defeat for us.

Don't think I've ever been as nervous before any game of football as this one. Of course you don't take any win for granted, but I do have every confidence in this team to win, but the fact we are reliant on another result going our way does worry me, we could play the best game of the season win comfortably and still go down. A season is a marathon not a sprint and if we go down then our abysmal first half of the season did the damage. But I really believe after the last few months and the most incredible turnaround that the management and team deserve a good ending to the season.
Crazy to think that the last 9 months now might as well not even matter anymore, everything rests on what happens in two suburbs of Birmingham less than 10 miles apart at 3pm tomorrow, it will either be one of the best days of our short history or worst, simple as that, hopefully this rollercoaster of a season has a happy ending!!
