Depends what effect that 4-0 defeat has on them.

Hull have had their own wobble recently, before the 4-0 win against Bristol City they'd had a run of just two wins in 9 games, it looked like they'd turned the corner with the trashing of Bristol City but followed it up with a 4-0 loss to Derby. No indication they've turned the corner yet, their run-in is against clubs with nothing to play for. I'd expect Bolton's relegation to be confirmed long before Hull play them and the game against Rotherham on the last day could be the only one that means something to both teams.
On paper they've got a decent run in if they can find some form.
It is dangerous, but if they lose today then they'll only be able to get 87 points, which may well not be enough for top 2.
All Dyche kept going on about last week was their disallowed goal, and how hard done by they felt, not that his team are a bunch of thugs. Would love him to lose it completely and even spontaneously combust (at least he won't be making a mess at the Amex).

Big IF....and even then, being on course for 87 points would probably still see them being "interested" into the final week - if not the final game.

Quite looking forward to your game against Burnley..especially the midfield battle which could get feisty

Looking at those fixtures. Broghtonnhave the toughest. Burnley have it right easy apart from the boro game. Everyone of our games is arguably a tough game. Hopefully charlton will be down by the time we play them. Fhulam and QPR are no easy home games.

Starting to think the best we can hope for is Boro to have confirmed their promotion before the last day, whilst we manage to get a point ahead of Burnley. Then on the last day, hopefully with Boro at 80% we can go up there and win.

Dyches head might get so red and hot and blow up

I can see what you are saying although I think Burnleys game at Preston might be difficult it being a derby match....surprisingly Preston actually won 2/0 at Burnley earlier in the season

Love in with Boro seems slightly curious when we were slagging them off in December: http://www.northstandchat.com/showt...sbrough-opinion-of-us&highlight=Middlesbrough.

I'm pretty sure Burnley fans won't be looking at Brum and Preston away as easier than Forest and Charlton....if they get over the line with that set of fixtures then fair do's. If they don't beat Leeds then their next 3 games look really tough.
I looked at Burnleys fixtures and thought that run of 3 including boro, Birmingham and Preston looked the toughest group of fixtures among them

Said it before, say it again. Our next 5 are winnable. In which case Hull to drop 1 point Burnley to drop 6 (Leeds & Boro to win). Last game will be a dead rubber and we can all go to the legendary Bluebell Hotel and jion their promotion party.
Not really. As the starter of that thread the grievance was that they weren't taking us seriously. As time has gone on we've held our ground and proven ourselves as contenders, and are now being seen that way by the majority of their fanbase.
There was a heck of a lot of arrogance shown by them back then, but over time they have started to give us kudos for our achievement.
Fair enough I say.
