How are things, Rovers fans?
On Saturday afternoon a point at Stoke didn't look so bad, given Leicester's defeat and a home draw for Millwall, but Oxford United's win over Watford, and especially Portsmouth's last-gasp winner at Middlesbrough put a different complexion on the Championship basement battle.
Then matters got worse on the south coast on Tuesday night as Rovers were swept aside by in-form Southampton, while up the road Pompey were picking up another three points with a shock win over Ipswich.
As the dust settles on Wednesday, Rovers find themselves two places and four points above the relegation zone with three games remaining, but Michael O'Neill's men have a slightly worse goal difference and have played a game more than Oxford.
So how are you feeling? Does the visit of Champions-elect Coventry to Ewood Park on Friday night (20:00 BST) give you cause for optimism? With a trip to Sheffield United and a home game against second-bottom Leicester to follow on the final day, how many points do you think you need to stay up?
