Who's looking forward to the playoffs?

[Triggaaar]

We've got a good team, decent chance.

 

[spence]

Once again we need to beat Forest. Failure to do that and it's the play offs.

 

[lizard]

It's still in our hands, no?

no it isn't

 

[Driver8]

no it isn't

Yes it is.

 

[dangull]

I think we will be relegated to league 1 next season.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

It is. Play six-win six

 

[The Optimist]

no it isn't

As Burnley and Boro play each other and we play Boro it is still in our hands.

 

[Trevor]

Mathematically it is not in our hands and this stage. Of course if we took maximum points from here, it's highly likely that we would go up automatically

I think we should take a positive attitude if it ends up play-offs - we have an excellent team

Mathematically it IS in our hands as Burnley are still to play Middlesbrough.

It is in our hands. If we win all six we go up automatically. Boro and Burnley play each over so one or both will drop points.

It is though. As burnley play Boro and we play boro if we win all 6 we are up.

Bring it on
After last season when I very nearly launched myself off of The East Upper into the family stand on many occasions (bit like Ernest but fully clothed)
I think this could be our best way in.
Burnley were crap again today and Boro ain't all that.
Why not

 

[sparkie]

Probably won't bother to watch them after albion finish top 2.

right - I stand corrected

 

[Brovion]

Yes it is.

We need the 'Teams that can't catch us' thread updated. (And yes I know that won't answer the question, just be nice to see it).

To answer the OP's original point: Derby worry me a bit, they seem to be hitting form. The exact reverse of this time last year.

 

[Dirty Dave]

Hoping to win the next four (obviously). That should see us in the autos going in to the final 2 games. And it would be like a play off. First leg home to Derby, with the away leg at Boro

Yes, it is still in our own hands.

Ignoring games against each other, maximum points for each team are:

Boro 97
Burnley 95
Brighton 93

However.

For us to get 93 means we beat Boro so they can then only get 94. If Boro get 94, that means they beat Burnley, so their maximum goes down to 92. Even if Boro and Burnley draw, that would then not be enough for Boro as Burnley and us would finish on 93 and Boro on 92.

So yes. Win our next 6 matches and we are promoted. I'm going for a lie down now, my head hurts.

Lets win Monday and Friday and we will be in the top 2. Burnley have a tough game against Brum next weekend. Lets hope they have to go there when the pressure is on
