The Final 10 games

[Boro4life]

Just need to focus on getting the two home wins this week and worry about the rest after the international break. I expect the blades to at most get a draw at Sunderland be very surpised if they win

 

[UTB70]

Luton burnley and coventry will be tough. A win at luton, loss vs burnley and a draw vs coventry id take now.

I reckon we will give Burnley an excellent game under the lights on Good Friday.

With a three game week:
Our result yesterday and Blades defeat at home was what we wanted.
If we beat Stoke, and Sunderland take a likely three points at home - its down to next Saturday.
I wouldnt expect Blades to get more than a point out of the next six.
Compare to us - they have an inferior goal difference - and in goals scored - we are 8 ahead of them.
Blackburn Rovers aint gonna lay down at Bramley Lane next Saturday - they want to stay in the playoffs.
Potentially, we could be second in two games time.

Sheffield United`s form is diabolical:

Sheff U only have 1 league match this week., the saturday match is in the FA Cup.
If we do win our two home matches this week and Sunderland even take a point off Sheff U on weds then we will be 2nd on saturday evening.
If Sunderland beat Sheff U then we would be 2 points clear with better GD by definition.

Stoke will be a very tough game.
In form and Alex Neil always seems to do well against us.

Haway the lads. I despise Sunderland but will be supporting them Wednesday night as we all will be

Yeah it’s definetly gonna be a tough one Tuesday

 

[WindyNook]

As we’ve shown the few Losses don’t really matter if you win the rest, as it’s constant draws that kill your league position the odd loss is fine as long as you win the rest.

That’s our secret.

Boro 19 6 11 63
Luton 16 12 8 60
Blackburn 18 4 14 58
You are right Jedi. Draws are the killer Blackburn were above us for a long time because they hadn't drawn any games. As you can see Luton rarely lose bu they haven't enough wins.
Mind you I'd take a boring 0-0 draw when we play them.
About 0% chance of that happening

 

[TeaCider]

Stoke will be a very tough game.
In form and Alex Neil always seems to do well against us.

He was in charge of Preston for 4 years.

In that time, we beat them 3 times and drew with them 3 times, only lost twice.

 

[Boro4life]

The 1st April could be the day we create a 2nd place buffer could go 4 or 5 points clear of the blades

We have Huddersfield away they have Norwich away

 

[newyddion]

I would however state that at the beginning of the season we all thought this squad should be and was capable at a minimum of challening for the play offs.

Wilder destroyed that due to arrogane and attitude.

Carrick, Woodgate and Danks have added a different level to the play, tactics, work ethic and Carricks levels of his playing career, experiences, attitude/personality he can draw on will be the driving factory behind our success.

Reminds me of the set up we had with Steve McClaren, some amazing coaches. Steve Round & Steve Harrison remind me of Jonathan Woodgate and Aaron Danks.

Will Burnley keep going after they've nearly secured auto promotion?

Will Burnley keep going after they've nearly secured auto promotion?

Might be on the beach against midtable teams etc but I imagine they’ll want to try and put any top 6 in their place.

Seem a very professional outfit.

 

[Linny]

If anybody can give Burnley a game it's us.
Burnley will want revenge from when Sheffield battered them at Bramall Lane.
Luton looks a hard game on paper but their home for isn't great, they're excellent on their travels though.

Will Burnley keep going after they've nearly secured auto promotion?

Sadly, I suspect the home match vs Burnley will be the first day they can secure automatic promotion.

I don't see them being in any mood to take it easy that day, though a choke is of course possible.

I think we'll give them a good game whatever, but they'll certainly not be on the beach by then.

Those strike me as very low totals for 2nd place.
I know it's been that low in the past, 10 or so years ago, but it was low even then.

They're 17 points clear.

If we both win all our games before we face each other, a win against us wouldn't confirm promotion because of their FA Cup fixture, we'd close the gap to 14 points with them having a game in hand.

If they won it would be 17 points clear with 6 Boro games remaining.
