Yep. Anyone who said “I don’t want to be in the premier league anyway” better make peace with it.

Grendel is getting the “Taxi for Robins” thread ready for next season - just debating whether he wants to add replace him with Big Sam to try and keep us there

Its pointless looking at and trying to work out the results of the other games.

We just need to win on Saturday and then the requirements against Boro will be known.

Focus on Saturday first.

On a serious note - this is the correct comment. We need to focus on ourselves and beat Birmingham. It would be very Coventry City to get 30k and not turn up

beat Birmingham and then we’ll know what we’ve got to do

Yes, as a fan base we just aren't used to this. All very strange.

FFS we have got to beat Brum on Saturday yet. If you think that’s a forgone conclusion, you haven’t been following the city long enough.

Was saying to the wife I have seen pretty much everything in my time supporting the club except for being in a genuine playoff challenge in this division. So used to seeing 4 other teams have the fun

There’s plenty of twists and turns yet to come, Brum will be a tough ask on Saturday and we could still quite easily find ourselves outside the top 6 at FT (sorry to be the pessimist!)

Blackburn and West brom don't play til later so would be very unlucky to be outside top 6 at full time

The funny thing about reading was :
City don’t turn up with a big crowd - we were excellent
We never perform in both halves - we did
We should have been further ahead they’re gonna equalise - they did
Bugger - oops 5 mins later we went ahead again
We never hold out to win - we did

So none of this city do that or do this. Robins has changed all that these last 6 seasons

Thought Blackburn played a lot better than when against us and were unlucky with the handball - all these results will definitely help but as above Brum no easy pushover and Boro are not above us for no reason , don’t understand why Akpom was rested but will be watching tonight as a SU supporter

I agree with all except the 1 half thing. That's still been prevalent as a rule this season I think

Taking the sky blue specs off, I’d have us behind Luton and Boro to go up based on the teams over a season. But it’s cup football basically and all bets are off.

If we do it with no attacking midfielders and a bare defensive midfield the MOTY award for Kompany will look a bit silly.

I agree. My little boy is 13 now and has only seen us play at Wembley twice.

One to win a cup and the other to win the playoffs. At least we have never lost a playoff game

Try being 55 and seeing us in the top 6 finally not too long ago but having to go down to Division 4 to do it.

Have seen my fair share of relegation battles though

Burnley under EFL investigation and may face points deduction

It is being claimed the Clarets fielded a weakened side in the goalless draw at Reading recently

We got our cup game stage-fright out of the way in the FA Cup 3rd round.

(Even I'm getting ahead of myself, we're not in the pay-offs yet).

If we play like we did against Reading - we’ll win. Gyokeres won’t have a game like that again

Nah, the team can focus on Saturday. I’ll continue looking at the table and the fixtures every 5 minutes.

It'll be just like us to be stifled by Birmingham after which we will be all doom and gloom, only to then go and win at Middlesbrough. Every result involving play off chasing teams this last couple of weeks seems to have gone our way, and I can't help feeling that there is going to be another twist somewhere, even if we do eventually make it to the playoffs.

Me thinks you rumbled me!

It’s a pleasure to see a manager achieve. The issue Burnley have is that they continue to carry a lot of debt. Kompany knows how to manage and celebrate with the players/fans.
