Similar odds at Birmingham last match.

:)

Vokes came off injured against Leeds, if he's out for a while that will effect them. Hoofing it long to the big man doesn't work all that well when the big man on the physio's table.

I'd suggest if he's standing on a table it's going to make it EVEN easier. Bloody cheats.

What do you think?

Maybe. Burnley have to play Middlesbrough in just over a week's time, so whatever the result it will be in our favour. One thing is for certain if we get another four points we will definitely be in the play-offs. Now that is something no Albion fan would have predicted at the start of the season.

Funny how some thought the advantage was ours playing Monday with the pressure on the others playing on Saturday and needing the win. Now they have won we are doomed to the Playoffs?

Let's be positive, we win on Monday and then we win on Friday and the pressure is back on Boro and Burnley to chase us again.

I still think that all three teams will drop points along the way and it win go down to the last week of fixtures.

After seeing the highlights of both the games yesterday Burnley and Boro could both have dropped points. There's going to be plenty of twists and turns. Boro Burnley is going to be huge.

Burnleys game next weekend isn't easy either and the pressure will be on if we get 2 wins in the week

Burnley won't take more than 3 points in the next 3 games . I see us 3-5 points clear of burnley going into the derby game .

I have burnley:
Bham away 1pt
Boro home 1pt
Preston away 3pts

Preston away could be anything. Thought they played well against boro yesterday and passed them of the pitch in the second half plus it's a local derby. Also vokes could be out.

5pts max I'm giving them. Could be a lot less though fingers crossed

And we have a head start this weekend as we're playing Fulham on Friday night. The philosophy is simple - go out and get as many points as possible in the next six games. If all goes well we end up with automatic promotion, if not, then we'll have the consolation of the play-offs (barring a complete disaster!). I will do my best to try and enjoy the next four weeks or so. :eek:

At least Fulham have nothing to play for by this time, they secured a crucial 2-1 win over Cardiff and are 10 points clear of relegation

That's one result going our way :albion:

All the auto contendors are now playing opposition with nothing to play for except Burnley v V Boro and Boro v Albion.

I was thinking that Birmingham could do us a massive favour against both our rivals.. They are no mugs and after our victory their manager said they were playing for their places next season. I believe him.

Burnley won't find Deepdale easy either

If you're talking about automatic we really need Burnley to only pick up 4 points from there next 3 being Birmingham, Boro and Preston because surely they will pick up maximum points versus QPR and Charlton.

Even that would mean we can only drop 2 points until the end of the season, putting them on 90 and us on 91.

I said a few weeks ago that Birmingham could be king makers.
