This one is MASSIVE. Burnley do seem to fluke late equalisers and results even when they are playing shite though.
if we were 10th and they were 11th it'd be a massive game. In some senses the fact that it's a derby almost makes the needed 3 points an irrelevance. Imagine you were playing Pompey in a similar situation!
Boro v Ipswich and Brum v Boro are equally massive after last night's results.
Draw would still be decent as it gives chance for mboro to already grab promotion by the time we play themA draw between Preston and Burnley will help us, but not massively.
A Preston win, on the other hand, would be of absolutely huge assistance.
I take it that the Preston V Burnley rivalry is a bit like the Brighton V Southampton one....not our main rivals but good for bragging rights?
But not the title. They'd be up but would still be motivated to prevent defeat in order to win the title. It doesn't make a great deal of difference to us if Boro still have something to play for, whether that is the title or mere promotion.Draw would still be decent as it gives chance for mboro to already grab promotion by the time we play them
I'm fairly sure Preston vs Blackburn is above Preston vs Burnley.Preston - Blackpool
Burnley - Blackburn
Preston - Burnley
Blackpool - Fleetwood
Probably in the order.
