That would provide the weird scenario going into the final day of the season that the team in 1st place are not promoted but the team in 2nd place are promoted! Actually, I suppose Goals Scored could come into play, but you know what I mean!

If you had the choice now, that it's (top 2) done and dusted before the last game, or it's not (no further information available, don't know which teams are top 2), would you take it?
I guess I wouldn't. We have to get 6 more points than Burnley over 5 games for them not to be able to catch us. They need 1 more point than us over 5 games for us not to catch them.
PS - Obviously I know you meant you'd like it to be done and dusted with us top 2.
How the **** does that work?
Nope, no idea. How can the team in 3rd be able to overtake the team in 1st, but not be able to overtake the team in 2nd?

Yup pretty much what you said. In that scenario, if Burnley lost they can still be overtaken by Brighton if we were to win.
I don't get it either...

I think it's very difficult to see us finishing above Boro. They've had their wobble and look nailed on for promotion. For all the optimism of this week, Burnley looks more and more like a missed opportunity to have put us in pole position. That said, I expect us to beat Forest and Charlton but drop points at one or more of the home games. It's going to be very, very close. Knowing the Albion it'll be down to the last match at Boro.

I think it will go down the the final game as points will be dropped between now and the end of the season by the three main clubs chasing the top two.
Interesting listening to Warren Aspinall on Tuesday night he seems convinced that Burnley will fall away in the last few weeks, I'm not so sure as they have experienced promotion within the last couple of seasons. WA said he thought Burnley had a strong fifteen players but little back up, now I wouldn't wish injury to anyone player but.......
My main concern is goal difference as taking this into account we are technically a point behind if level at the end of the season, we might need to dish out a couple of sound thrashings.
Boro away could become our modern day equivalent of Hereford.

Obviously. Same applies to Brighton.
My main concern is that we're 2 points behind Burnley, and a point + game behind boro. You can forget sound thrashings, we will not finish top two on GD. Fact.

Don't worry guys... if we're promoted by then, (remember Dyche doesn't really like us and the feeling is somewhat reciprocated) we may let you sneak the point(s) you need...

Mine has Hull top. Their run in looks the easiest
May? Can we have a little more assurance please?
Yours is broken mate. Their run in is the easiest, but they're in poor form and 7 points behind boro now.

Top!!!
That'd mean winning 7 out of 7. And even that almost certainly wouldn't be enough.

So goal difference will have no say in it. I really wouldn't be so sure, with six games to go one or two point lead isn't a lot, however on the final day GD could be worth a point, the difference between playing out a dull hard fought draw or having to win.

I had us finishing 6 points adrift of Boro and 7 adrift of Burnley.
I have a horrible, horrible feeling we'll end up playing Derby again in the Play-offs. Please God NO.

Of course GD could have a say in it, but we won't be the beneficiaries. If we finish level on points, we don't make it. It's too late to start trying to catch up the GD.
But this time we've got Bobby.
