Difficult thing to definitively establish but, as far as I can tell, if two teams finish "joint 17th" on points you then go to goal difference to separate them. If they're still level then it comes down to goals scored. If they're then still level then a one-off play-off at a neutral ground will take place to see who stays up and who goes down.
Before anyone starts .... I'm not being negative; I'm purely establishing what the rules are if a particular scenario unfolds. Given our current position I'd say it's entirely sensible to have a total understanding of what we need to do to stay up. I actually checked it out cos I had a nagging feeling it would be decided alphabetically and Bolton and Blackburn would steal a march.... quite relived it don't work that way.
