I prefer to have minimal expectations of our rivals' games. Saves getting frustrated. The fact is, Boro and Burnley are highly likely to win their games, that's why they're where they are. Boro have an absolute gimme at relegated Bolton, and Burnley should get three points off Birmingham, who have flopped lately, and whose players are quite clearly ticking off the days until their end of season piss up in Las Vegas. Blues' play off hopes are long gone- if they even manage to give Burnley a decent contest, I'll be surprised. Enough said, meanwhile, about Bolton. They are dreadful.
Tuesday is the big one. We need to do our bit, and then see what happens at Turf Moor.

It wouldn't be the authentic Albion experience without exactly that.

The current form table over the last six matches makes interesting reading...

Lovely to see us top of the pile but also slightly concerning that our "worst" remaining opponent is only just in the bottom half on form. Basically, most of our opponents are in good nick. We are going to have to fight tooth and nail for every point.
That said, Fulham had won three on the hoof and then...
I bloody love this season.
I can't see Birmingham anywhere in there and QPR's bit of a peak in form should cause us some concern.

Bham and Bolton are pretty much bottom of the form table. Easy wins for our rivals tomorrow.
Burnley are 17 unbeaten and they could easily do what happened to us after our long run. If they lose to Birmingham, can see them not winning the next two either. However more likely is burnley will beat Birmingham and draw versus boro and Preston.
However if this happened
Burnley 1-0 bham
Burnley 0-3 boro
Burnley 0-0 Preston
Brighton 2-0 QPR
Brighton 3-0 Charlton
Burnley GD 29
Brighton GD 29 (with scoring 3 more goals)

It's a good rule, so I'm sorry for this next bit:
They're not likely to win them all. They're where they are because they're averaging about 2 points a game.
Agreed.
According to the bookies, they probably (it's marginal) won't win.

Then we'd be 3 points ahead and need 4 from the last 2 games. GD would be in Burnley's favour, because finishing level on points would mean they win a game while we lose one. Despite yesterday, we've got no chance of being promoted on goal difference.
That's basically my attitude. Expecting nothing so anything is a bonus.
I'll go as far as to call it the 'Championship Shock Of The Season' if Boro don't get all three points. I believe Boro are all but up if they beat Bolton & Burnley.

Burnley missing Vokes at Birmingham. Ashley Barnes plays. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36002910

Listening to the Bimrmingham commentary. Burnley desribed as functional and direct.
I think they were at the Amex, but I think this is underestimating them.
Now they are saying Burnley have players who can score out of nothing.
Birmingham have the edge without creating chances. Sounds like 0-5 to Burnley now.
Joey Barton heads the thigh of Caddis. Watch this sort of thing in Rugby matches.

Watching a stream, fairly even. However, Birmingham missed a sitter on the break. Barton in the refs ear, Barnes lucky not to see yellow after flying elbow.
This is anti-football though. Hoofed end to end by both teams.
