Surely the clubs can just say he's injured?

I can see the games that the chasing pack have against each other as draws.

Middlesboro will beat Ipswich tho-and my prediction is that will put the Tractor boys out of the autos.

Spot on 😁

Hull, Southampton and Wrexham are still in it until a side above them goes on a winning run. Middlesbrough v Millwall is so important. A Middlesbrough win puts them 5 points clear. A Millwall win puts them in 2nd. Over 60 shots in the last 3 games for Middlesbrough for just 1 goal against 3 lower down sides. How are we supposed to predict anything when just this one important game can go in any of 3 ways?

Hull go to in form Oxford on Friday then we go to Hull Monday. If they don't win at least 1 of these games they look like they won't make the playoffs. Win both and they're still in contention for 2nd unless Middlesbrough win both games.

I'm so glad we're not involved in the chase for 2nd and can watch it all unravel without worry.

I agree with him - I hate it when we are earlier than other teams. One of the joys/agonies of the last game of the season was always keeping up with the other games that affect us. So many times in the top flight a load of us were crowded around the radio listening to the other games when we are playing. This should be replicated in all the remaining games (OK not radio but Fotmob etc). The buzz in the crowd when things either go for or against is different to anything else

Yeah, I do too. We have it with the Blackburn game. TBH, I'm pleased about it tomorrow as I can watch their game on the tele before ours in the evening, but to be fair, I think all the games this time of the season should be kicking off at the same time. Sky won't have it though.

All the last games will KO at the same time 12.30, it's just leading up to them times are different.

Understand his point but at the end of the day, just win your games. Irrelevant what others do...win yours and see where you come in the shake up.

I think he is correct - it will influence how teams set up when the results are already known

Sort of and I don't totally disagree. You should still be planning to beat the 11 you're going to be facing in the next match irrespective of what happens elsewhere. You're playing the opposition and trying to overcome them tactically.

Do that and 3 points is all you can do.

I said this earlier about us. It doesn't matter what Boro, Ipswich or others do. Concentrate on getting our 3 points and it'll take care of itself.

With 21 points to play for (Ips with 24) it’ll take 12pts to guarentee promotion and 13pts to guarantee the title at an absolute maximum with the current state of play

11 points will guarantee promotion as either/both Boro and/or Ipswich will drop at least 2 points when they play each other.

14 would get us guarantee us the title as Ipswich can get to 93. 13 would win it with goal difference and it would take a swing of 14 goals for them to go above us but if they are winning every game and we are dropping points it's not impossible so can't say it would be guaranteed.
