They have the task of beating us and Huddersfield. I’d fancy their chances.

Norwich still need a point to guarantee Play offs in the last day no?

Cant see Blues beating them with that being the case and Blues need 3 points or its league 1

Be well funny if they went down

Exactly. I don't think it's certain Birmingham will stay up now at all.

Norwich will definitely go to get the draw they need to be certain. No-one is going to field a bunch of kids and leave themselves open to a possible thrashing I don't think.

Hull have to win, but they play Plymouth, who needs at least a draw.

Set up beautifully I think and Birmingham are still very much favourites for the drop.

Bank on Norwich to get the point they need.

As long as Norwich don't lose heavily they don't need a point unfortunately. Would need to be an eight goal swing in favour of Hull for them not to go up.

I know, but if Norwich play a bunch of kids, they could easily be beaten out of sight and Plymouth have been terrible, so you would fancy Hull getting a few against them.

Not saying it's likely, but definitely possible.

I am certain Norwich will want the point that ENSURES their place.

I dont have anything against Blues. I loathe V@lla with a passion, far more than say Leicester (i hate Man utd more than Leicester) but Blues just doesnt feel like any kind of rivalry despite them being the closes club to us geographically.

Do you think we’ll be crossing paths or seeing each other again come the end of next season? One of the two for me.

Think you upset the snowflake, but i'll answer. Leicester are already relegated, they will have a points deduction and have to have a fire sale of players. I think ourselves and Burnley will cross them as they come down and we go up. Either us or Burnley win the league next season.

No I beg to differ. I’d rather Leeds get autos and Southampton go up via playoffs. Them next season will be easier for us.

Depends what mood Preston are in. As for Norwich, you wouldn’t want to leave anything to chance in their position, I think they’ll go for a strong side at Birmingham.

Would be a double stinker if both Hull and the Brummies sneaked in at the end.

This is a joke right? We should approach every game with a desire to win no matter what it means to any other team! Don’t forget, if you want any chance of future success, you have to play the best teams and fight for everything.
DK Will very soon be wanting us to dip our hands in our pockets for Season Tickets, and we don’t want the season to end on a poor run of games do we.

I’ve already experienced watching us get twatted by a side securing back to back promotions to the top flight. Once is quite enough

I want us to win any match but these last two have little importance for us. It makes no difference whether we win or not. Yes would be good to win but so what if not?

I be pissed off if we lose, the same I I feel when we don’t win any game. The difference for me is how long I feel that way. A few years back I felt that way about the club almost all the time, ATM I get over fairly quickly as I have a general positive attitude towards the club. We’re going in the right direction, the odd bump is to be expected.
Win both and finish on a high, more important is a strong start to next season.

Right, Norwich will surely go for it? Not sure what the poster is going on about above, in terms of Norwich fielding a youth side. Why would you risk unnecessarily getting thrashed and throwing away a play-off spot. They would also surely rather take a semi-final against 3-loss on the bounce Southampton, than a 2-leg dogfight against their fiercest rivals.

Hull will lose at Plymouth, Plymouth is an intimidating place to go when the fans are up for it, which they will be saturday.

Yeah they aren't going risk say losing 4 nil and letting Hull sneak in with a 4 nil win themselves

I do think that may well be the case. Hull need to win. Plymouth need to win.

It may also well filter through during the games that the other key results are going against Hull, which may well deflate them as their game wears on.

Plymouth simply have to win to be sure. Hull have to win AND have other teams fail.

I still very much think Birmingham are favourites for the drop. I can well see their game against Norwich ending up in a draw. That's not going to be enough I don't think.

They draw and Plymouth can afford to lose by 3 goals and would still stay up

Norwich will start with a strong side and then start withdrawing their better players when it’s safe to do so. Sargent is still not fully fit and Sara must be one of the very top players in this league. They’ll need those two to have any chance of making the final.

No, for the above reasons.

Stranger of things have happened than an 8 goal turnaround before.

They need a draw to be sure and they will play a strong side.

If they played kids they could easily lose quite heavily.

They would be the laughing stock of football if they failed to make it.

No way they are playing kids

Swansea turned round a larger goal difference deficit a few years ago to overtake Forest. Norwich will be at full strength but can still see Blues winning

Still might not be enough. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Plymouth beat Hull.

Blackburn and Sheff Weds only need a draw in that scenario. It would only be Plymouth who would need the win.

I can see a scenario where Blackburn go down. Need a point away to Leicester who, although already promoted, should win

West Ham famously won at Old Trafford when Man Utd had already secured the title…that said I’d be surprised if Blackburn went given it’d need 3 results to all go against them plus their defeat.

After watching Hull against both us and Ipswich, i am amazed they picked up 4 points, wasn't impressed with them at all.

If we were full strength or even just not tired no doubt we would've beaten them and not quite sure how they got a point at ipswich either, goals being gifted left right and centre

think the top 6 stays as it is and Blues are gone, and i feel we'll get something out of Ipswich game putting auto in Leeds hands against Saints...

If Birmingham drop we wont have a proper local derby (West Brom has never felt like a derby amosphere), Blues in recent seasons has i feel picked up intensity.
