Oh I don't know. I'm going to get the whisky.

Oh. How does that go against the OP's argument?

It doesn't matter does it, since it's after our game?

Yes, that is the scenario we were discussing. Yes, if they draw I'd say we need to go all out for the win. If we're still level with a few minutes left, caution to the wind, attack attack attack, and if we then lose, no worries, nothing's changed.

We were discussing this on the basis that Middlesbrough win their game on Friday, and if that happens, you've got it completely wrong. There's no point me being diplomatic and saying my opinion is different, you've just got it wrong. If Middlesbrough win their game and we: 1) Lose against Derby...

Firstly, you're confusing our options: 1) Play for a draw 2) Play to win, but if it's looking like a draw, take it 3) We have to win. If it's level with a couple of minutes to go, send Stockdale up. We don't want to do 1, because it could backfire and we could still lose. We don't want to do 3...

If Middlesbrough win, and we're level with 5 minutes to go, do you want our team to go all out attack and risk losing, or attack sensibly while keeping it tight at the back? I'll go for the latter please, a loss would be a disaster, while a win or draw will both leave us needing to win the last...

Best case scenario is that Middlesbrough don't won on Friday. If Middlesbrough win on Friday, a draw for us would be as good as a 1 or 2 goal win, as either way, we'll need to beat Middlesbrough on the last day.

Now we've just got to do it.

Sorry to state the obvious, but I feel you were jumping ahead one game, or more.
