Sorry it's 6 games to go.

Plymouth - W
Luton - W
Boro - W
Sunderland - W
Sunderland - W
Sheff Utd - W

We can afford to draw or even lose one of those Sunderland games. Remember Notts County?

Why are some people talking as if the Boro match is next up - does my head in

It obviously isn’t. The context I’m putting forward is that even if we fall over on Monday and next weekend, we still have the insurance policy of playing Boro at home. Which puts us in a strong position.

I don't know if anyone else has made this point, but the rather strange situation we find ourselves in is that if we get 5 points from our last 3 games then we are assured of a play-off spot but if we get 6 then we aren't.

5 points means that we have at least drawn with Middlesbrough so the maximum they can get is 7 so 5 is enough for us (4 if we've beaten them).

6 points means that Middlesbrough may have beaten us so even if we get 6 more they can get ahead of us on goal difference by winning their other 2 games.

QED

I did think about that possibility!

We could win the next 2 and unless we have a favourable GD swing, Boro could afford to get 3 points out of the next 2 if they beat us.

Leeds might be promoted on monday

Leeds will still want to be Champions won't they, they have Burnley breathing down their necks.

4 points should be enough for 6th (as long as we don’t lose to boro)

7 points should get 5th - really hope we can achieve this
