Yep, & keeping the record going is actually worth points, I reckon, as we (& the teams we play) never think we're beaten

Depends how crucial you regard that extra point. You'd hand Hull that extra point then? See...TRICKY.

All three options look pretty attractive to me.....yep, I'll take any one of 'em now.

If we lost to Derby but then beat QPR & Boro, it's an extra point, but also showing fight back.

I'd be delighted with all three options.
But I've voted option three because I'm feeling Christmassy,

First one...why on earth would people take 5 points instead of 6 just to keep a record going?

Because its also about denying direct promotion rivals points too.

Forget the rivals as its our points that matter and those rivals could drop points also.

Absolutely agree with this. I'd be delighted with five or six points from those three games. Went for the final option to avoid either Middlesbrough or Derby gaining ground on us in our game against them. Five points from the next four games would give us two points a game at the halfway point. What an achievement that would be!

I've gone for the 5 point option but the bottom line is we don't know for sure who will be the biggest threat out of Boro or Derby, so I right now I don't want either of them to make 3 points up on us.

Stopping both Derby and Boro gaining ground on us in December would be a tremendous outcome

This is the correct answer. As I'm sure you know, there are some better options but, then again, there are more that are worse.

I don't consider Hull to be as big a threat as Derby and Boro, so yes

Middlesbrough have 3 very tricky matches next. Let's open up a gap above them.

I voted for 1W 2D option because it maintains the unbeaten run but there is arguably little difference.
In the 2D 1W option Albion get 5 points but Derby & Boro both lose 2 points, I.e 9 points.
In the 2W 1L option, Albion get 6 and 1 of Boro and Derby lose 3, so total is again 9.

Option 1 would take us at least 3 points above 3rd place (assuming Hull win next 3 games) after next 3 games. Option 2 at least 2 and option 3 at least 2....
Option 1 for me please! followed by 3 (with momentum factor too) then option 2....
