Which historical occurrence in particular tells you that?
Obviously neither of the examples above. Or indeed Boro v Leicester 1988.

Something else Fulham have to play for is the most goals scored by a team in a second tier season, or at least the since 1992 record.
They've currently scored 106 goals, what they'll be told is the record is 108 goals by Man City in 2001/02.
(The actual record is 122 goals by Middlesbrough in the 1926/27 season where Camsell set the actual individual goal record)

No no no…..you’re forgetting the obvious.…You're not a proper Boro fan then - I expect us to draw with Preston equalizing deep into injury time
We get a penalty to win in injury time. Sporar scores but Connolly is penalised for encroachment. Sporar then has the retake saved and Balogun balloons the rebound over.
That would sum up the Boro.

Most fans of so called lower league teams generally think alike, ie what could go wrong will go wrong— we’re not on our own, but it’s fun.

It's all ifs and buts. If Bournemouth fail to win tomorrow, then the argument that a Luton win would have been a better result for us will lose all validity.
We know teams with nothing to play for can still be professional and get a result. Can always remember Fulham coming to the Riverside and grinding out a 0-0 during our relegation season, even though they were midtable at the time and had nothing to play for.
Lets hope Fulham can do something similar this weekend.

a draw Blades v Fulham would put them on equal points with a Boro win .... we would need to win 3-0 to get above Blades

Players are always looking to extend their contracts or get new deals and in Luton’s case they have been clearly punching way above their weight all season long. After a 7-0 defeat I’m willing to suggest any team will have a hard time preparing for the next game as the coach will need to regain the trust of the players. I would imagine many of the Luton players will be finding it hard to sleep after such a trouncing. Could be a very difficult last match for them.

If it's 0-0 then a 2-0 Boro win would be enough.
If Sheff Utd score and it ends a draw then we'll have to win by 3 clear goals.

yes the GD will be the same but we would have more goals scored

I think we have to score 3, if Utd score in a 1-1 draw in their game, so 3-1 would be enough. If it was 2-2, then 4-2 would be enough for us?
In other words, we need to score two more than Utd, in a win that was by two clear goals.
I think.

Yes, I've had another look at the table and you're right.
If only it was as simple as a win would be enough for us. I'm stressed out already and the games haven't even kicked off

Yes, but it beats a mid-table finish, or Pulis-ball, or struggling at the bottom!Yes, I've had another look at the table and you're right.

I just hope we win and if that's not enough at least we've done our bit.
Col everybody knows we're not the favourites in this situation.
We still wouldn't be favourites if Luton had beat Fulham and secured their playoff place.

I dont get this nothing to play for nonsense, I used to play tennis with 2 ex pro footballers and they were the 2 most competitive people I've ever met,they even wanted to win the warm up.
I dont ever recall playing any sport and not giving everything to try and win.
The only thing I would say is I wouldn't trust an out of contract player to go head first into a challenge knowing the consequences of injury.

Well that is obvious, the issue is about the opposition though and how much fight they will have. Will they both be happy to put in the extra yards, the 50/50 tackles with their holibobs round the corner? I seriously doubt it. Will Fulham and Reading want to win more than Luton and Sheff Utd? I don’t think so, they have professionalism and no more. I hope that is enough but expect Luton, Sheffield and Boro all to win, I hope beyond hope I’m wrong and hope fear grips one of the others, but doubt it will.
