Yes. Goals scored.

If Sunlun and MilWALL both win 1-0 and we lose by any margin, then it's season over.

I can see that as a distinct possibility.

Will still have been a great season though.

Sunderland and Millwall both have difficult games.

Blackburn know they have to win. In the end they were unlucky against 3rd place Luton. Millwall are on a bad run.

Sunderland are away to Preston. 4 wins 3 draws in last 7 home games.

If we win or draw it doesn't matter what happens elsewhere. Would anyone want to swap with one of our playoff rivals from where we are to below us?

That millwall side… there must be something about them to be doing so well… but Christ, every time I’ve seen them play I can’t help but think there’s no quality there and eventually they will get found out.

On a poor run and against a side who ended up unlucky to not beat 3rd place?

And a point and 4 GD to where we are?

If we lose then I think we will miss out. To be fair as much as we are banging on about playoffs there is no point unless we win them. And if we are serious about that we should not be worried about getting a point at a team who have literally nothing to play for. Let’s not be naive either if I was the Middlesbrough boss I wouldn’t want them to opening the door to Sunderland. The last thing they will want is the drama of a NE Derby to deal with

That blackburn / Luton was the best possible result. Didnt want Rovers to lose. Keeps them interested at Millwall.

If they win or draw at Millwall then that's basically us in play offs. Barring a hammering at at boro.

Blackburns recent form is shite though including dropping 4 gut wrenching points from a keeper scoring against them and an own goal

Boro/Millwall/Sunderland treble is about 8/1... might cover next year's season ticket...

Theres a good chance we could lose 1 nil and still easily make plays. Although I woulnt want that scenario.

Cant see West brom beating 3 nil away at Swansea.

Can easily see Blackburn winning ir drawing at Millwall.

Sunderland winning at Preston isnt cert.

I agree. Boro won’t want Sunderland in the mix one bit. You would be bat shit to play a full strength side v city.

I hope they do actually as I’d imagine they won’t be going at it 100%!

That said, momentum is massive at this time of the season and they might want to go into the play offs on a positive note but it’s a huge gamble playing your first team regulars on a game that’s pointless (for them).

So today we want Rotherham to beat Middlesbrough. We need them to tire them out, get a few Boro sent off and Rotherham to win so that Boro can’t get 3rd and have nothing to play for next week.

And Luton to draw with Blackburn to get them (BB) so they can’t realistically overhaul us but have a chance of beating and overhauling Millwall last day. Don’t want them on the beach last match - need them fighting out a draw.

Is that about it?

Yep. That was about it.

Which is my point

A side that has been unlucky against a side that has done shite recently.

We have only lost 1 in the last 16. A massive achievement If it doesn't become 2 defeats in the last 17 we're in the playoffs whatever happens elsewhere.

Nobody will want to play us in the playoffs. Even if you take off your sky blue glasses we have an excellent chance of going up.

How about putting it easily?

1 defeat in last 16 games. Make it 1 defeat in 20 we are a Prem side again

I don’t think us dropping out is as unlikely as some are making out, but I do think we will do it.

I'm terms of the overall possible outcomes it's less likely , else we wouldn't be 1/9 on to make the playoffs

8/1 to drop out. 1/9 to be in.

Sounds fair to me. If in doubt put £50 us not making it. Would pay for a ST and a few beers if it all goes wrong.

It will be very hard for us mentally not to play for a draw.
Let’s hope for some early magic to at least get us something to defend.
Whatever it’s been a great season under difficult circumstances.

Not as bad as for the other supporters involved.

We can relax a little knowing we don't have to win. The other sides know they have to win. Blackburn, Sunderland and WBA know they have to win just to have a chance.

Those of us that survived through the 80's and 90's have many stories to tell. Like the season we had to win our last 3 games to have a chance of survival including Liverpool last game of the season where they were the best side in Europe. Thumped them at home to stay up
