I think we will do it and I'll go as far as saying I don't think we will lose another game this season if we beat Stoke when we come back

This is how I felt about it. Huge game.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Win all the home games, draw the easy away games but lose to Boro and Blackburn. 71 points not enough

Cannot afford to lose to blackburn. That's the only MUST NOT LOSE.

That's a 6 pointer! Win that...with our far superior goal difference, I would really start to believe as it would be in our hands.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

We can only afford to really drop 6 points up until boro game.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

If we are in touch of Blackburn going into that game. The pressure on them would be huge more than on us..as they been in play offs all season.

I think we need a minimum 5 wins and not lose at Blackburn, reckon we’ll do it then.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Chances are boro will finish on 3rd if they dont pip Sheffield united.

Funny how we could play them 3 games in a row. If we get 6th.

 

[SkyblueDad]

I think Sheffield will get caught, that cup semi-final and Wembley appearance big distraction imo. next three games they have Norwich and Burnley away.

I agree, I think Boro maybe promoted by the time we play them, so hopefully their players have far too much to drink that week celebrating.

 

[TomS91]

Ideal scenario is we both need a point on the final day to confirm automatic/place in the playoffs.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Much rather play Sheffield united than Boro.

Just need to stop thinking of the what ifs and buts and take care of our business concentrate on our results.

 

[Hobo]

Form amongst teams is an ever changing picture. So for me one game at a time and no predictions.

Please god let Sunderland finish in 7th in that scenario.

 

[Speedies_Chips]

I would like a scenario where going into the last game at Boro that they would definitely be 3rd no matter what and therefore rest players for the play offs. We beat them to clinch 6th place and then play them another 2 times!

We make the playoffs We win them imo

Wow

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I’m someone who cringes at this “rivalry” but even I can admit that would be hilarious

 

[Evo1883]

Wow

Well Pete, we've beat all 4 teams in them , only lost 1 to millwall and that was a keeper disaster more than being beat well

 

[TomRad85]

We make the playoffs We win them imo

Play offs are a funny thing aren't they, a season long mad scramble to get in there but ultimately only 1 team goes up and the rest are soon forgotten. Hopefully we are the 1.

Ah shit correct

Our record against the current playoff teams is won 3 drew 2 lost 1

I fancy our chances against the teams currently in there more than I do against the teams fighting to get in around us, funnily enough.

I agree. Said this in league two. Was calm throughout, it’s why I enjoyed the checkatrade more than Exeter. Was just convinced we were winning and it was routine

we’re the team with momentum - if we manage to sneak in, we’ll be taking it with us

Make play offs and it's an extra £1M in gate receipts and TV money. Not to be sniffed at.

Not really thinking about that when you've just been dumped out of them though are you.

Watford surely

So that means let’s try and catch Middlesbrough

I think much of it is shared out.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Watford surely

Blackburn by far the better team and more difficult fixture.

Watford are horrendous. Pressure already their 3rd manager of the season lol

 

[Londonccfcfan]

This league is just nuts. Results every week prove that.

Any team with any sort of consistency will do ok.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

One thing is for sure scoring those 4's against Huddersfield and Blackpool had made our goal difference worth a point against most of those around us.

 

[You'll Never Beat McPake]

Next 2 games very interesting for each side in contention for playoffs ignoring Burnley, Sheff Utd and Middlesbrough. Think we should be in playoff places after these games.

Luton v Watford
Millwall v Luton

Blackburn v Burnley
Birmingham v Blackburn

WBA v Millwall
Millwall v Luton

Norwich v Sheff Utd
Blackburn v Norwich

Coventry v Stoke
Swansea v Coventry

Sheff Utd v WBA
WBA v Millwall

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

I think much of it is shared out.

Tv money alone means the bottom team leaves with about £100 million(tv rights£84mill+ merit money. and extra advertising and gate receipts)payments up from around £8mill. in the championship . According to Deloitte's.Parachute payments worth £75 mill.
Sure we could hack some of that .IF

 

[robbiethemole]

We make the playoffs We win them imo

Unbeaten at the new Wembley so far!!

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I have a feeling its gonna be similar to the league 2 play offs where we had a poor record at Notts County but smashed them, and we’ll do the same to Luton. Then we’ll play Sheffield Utd in the final and batter them
