Without studying it, I believe there would need to be three final day specific results (including a loss for us) for us not to make it. That three fold, which will have to include a Sunderland away win in a tough fixture, should yield decent odds (presumably 10/1 plus).
So I shall be sticking a tenner on. If I must drive back from Boro feeling dejected and miserable at least I’ll have made a few quid.

Which is why I said a draw would be a good result for us. They need some kind of result to keep in it. But Luton won’t be a pushover. Look at Birmingham today. They gave it their all and their season is more or less over.

Which is bottom half of the table form whilst not playing well. In recent games they have lost to lower clubs. Blackburn had a hard run in. You claimed them to be one of our main threats. Just like you would have preferred a WBA win against Sunderland as they would have finished above us in the table whatever.

A win has put us in a very strong position. Only a heavy loss kicks us out of the playoff hunt. One of Blackburn and Millwall will drop points on the final day so a Blackburn win v Luton and draw v Millwall would keep us in the playoffs due to GD and H2H.
If we have a meltdown and lose by 3 or 4 goals then we could be in trouble but even then, Sunderland, West Brom and Millwall/Blackburn (all 6 points) all need to win. Sunderland need a 3 goal swing (our H2H favours us) and WBA need a 5 goal swing.
Overall, we’re in a good position. Meanwhile, we’ve won two of the last 3 v Middlesborough.

Wouldn't it go to goals scored with Sunderland? So if we lose and they win they're above us.

It’s a tough game and place to go, but unless Luton lose to Blackburn, Middlesborough are playing for nothing other than momentum going into the playoffs.
A draw sets both teams up nicely and twists the knife into their local rivals by denying them a playoff berth.
It’s GD then H2H (then GS) and because we beat Sunderland, they need to beat our GD.

Was just going to ask... anybody know what the rivalry is like with Sunderland??.... or do they fancy a crack at them in the play-offs to try to directly rub their noses in it...!????

A point kept Morcambe up though… not sure what’s in it for Boro to agree to a draw. Other than saving energy.

If it transpires that a point does ir for us, and it looks certain we will play Boro again... what price on Carrick sacrificing a few players in trying to nobble Gus and Vik!?....

Don't need to win at that ground to secure a playoff spot.

You can expect some unbelievable performances next week in the mould of shit or bust - we need to not rely and others and execute what we need to do - if not you will all turn to shit and blame Robins

Yes, you might be right - I got the regulations from another competition!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we finish 5th won't we be playing Middlesborough in the play-offs? They've already secured their spot so they have nothing to play for, and might rest players for pending play-offs, hopefully against us.

I feel like were gonna need that point, preston record at home poor and Sunderland away record very good.
And Millwall will be at home last day with the crowd behind them, they have a very good home record and Blackburn away record quite poor.
