In the top 6 we're very good at home and the atmosphere will pull us through.
Think we'll go out semis in the playoffs though.

I really don't know.
It would be gutting to see us drop out on the final day of the season, but it's obviously definitely possible.

Agree with the first bit, in the semis anything can happen, win our home game and you never know,
Can’t see milwall or blackburn getting any more than a point, draw will do us
Honestly think a draw will be enough to get us in there and a win might even get us fifth. I think we’ll be fine. Cue the greatest Middlesbrough performance you’ve ever seen.
Win Sat and Bristol drop points we finish 5th. We win against Sunderland but lose at Wembley to Sheffield Utd
We'll beat Boro and I hope finish sixth because I'd rather play Sheff Utd over two legs than a one off at Wembley. Beat them at home by a couple of goals and we've got a great chance.
Not in the least worried about Sunderland or Bristol in the final.

See if that’s the case I’d rather go out in the semis. Losing at Wembley is proper grim.
I think we’ll take them to pens and Brad Collins saves two, turns around and gives it the ones to the entire SBA.
See this is the ideal scenario. Sheff Utd will beat us over 2 legs. But history will pressure them given their play off record is woeful. In a one off game we can beat them
I'm quietly confident we'll make the play offs.
I'd be a lot happier without Collins in goal but he's beenbetter at home and kept a couple of recent clean sheets so fingers crossed (mine, not his).

The problem is he was a dog in his previous life
What permutation are you betting on for 7th? Boro win?
Looking at both Bristol’s and ourselves own home form, it’s unlikely we both drop out. The bookies and data analytics still strongly favour things to stay as they are.
The Opta super computer reckons both games will be draws whilst Blackburn and Millwall lose.
I can see PNE drawing v Bristol because it more or less guarantees PNE stay up and Bristol make the playoffs. Both teams also draw a lot of games!
A bit of fun because I don’t usually gamble, but I put on the following accumulator this weekend:
Bristol v PNE - draw
Burnley v Millwall - home win
Cov v Boro* - home win
Derby v Stoke - draw
Portsmouth v Hull - draw
Sheff U v Blackburn - home win
WBA v Luton - away win
*I won’t bet on the Cov game!
I would rather go out before Wembley than have a third year in a row of super high tension, high stakes defeat
