If we beat Boro we only need to win one of Luton or Plymouth

If we can squeeze 10 points from the last 3 we’ll be OK.

What I mean is we can afford to lose one of Plymouth or Luton and it still be completely within our own hands

So, if we beat Boro we only need 1 point from either Plymouth or Luton to make the playoffs.

It's a big bow that Boro scored but we must move on. 3pt gap not 5
We really don't want it to go to last game but that might be unavoidable.
Can we win our next 2? Yes. But will both Boro and Bristol fail to win theirs?
Be better needing a point last day than a win though so let's stay ahead of them at very least
But looks let's stay positive. If Boro do drop PTS in a shock to sheff wed and we get something at Plymouth it's pretty much clinched.

I think so
If we beat Boro, the most they can get is 69 points? We would have 69 if we beat them. Their GD is better so we just need a point

Need five or seven or nine points to guarantee to make playoffs.
Stranglely six points does not guarantee it.
Five points guarantees not losing to Middlesbrough. We would finish on 71.
Middlesbrough maximum would be 70.
This is my calculation after a long day.

Nothing to fear , especially after such a good performance today .
Plymouth had a defender sent off , so one less against us .
Luton , a season of under performing, but a win there & a chance to send them down …… poetic justice !
Boro won’t fancy getting anything , from their “ bogey team “
Then on to our extended 2 game season & near compulsory Wembley excursion ……
Oh to be a SKYBLUE.

Game 1
Plymouth V Cov
Luton V Bristol
Sheff Wed V Middlesbrough
Game 2
Luton V Cov
Leeds V Bristol
Middlesbrough V Norwich
Game 3
Cov V Middlesbrough
Bristol V Preston
Tight as a gnats arse. I'd say Boro are almost guaranteed 6pt by the time we play them, they have got lucky having two teams with zero to play for. Wonder if there is a scenario where we both just need a draw by the time we meet?

Yes and it's possible... Bristol lose next two, Boro win next two, and we take 4 points. Go into final game with us on 70, Boro 69, Bristol 67. A draw would have us finish 5th and Boro 6th unless Bristol won by 5 goals

This is the championship - it’s entirely possible.

Think they play at home
Did anyone see the non existent pen the regf awarded to Middlesbrough in the 93 rd min, awful decision and he gave the Plymouth player a red card.

Leeds can be promoted on Monday I think.
Means their game Vs Bristol City could mean "nothing"/have less riding on it for them.... Unless they want to go up as champs!?!!

It would be really weird / strange / full circle if it was their near neighbours Sunderland.

It's not just who teams are playing, though, it's also how teams handle the pressure.
Nobody's guaranteed anything.
