Definitely not as some of the top sides all have to play each other

Burnley have 3 tough fixtures coming up. They can't play as badly as they did today and keep getting results. Hopefully they're on the brink of 3 straight defeats meaning a loss or draw on Monday won't be a disaster.

No, it'll just be a little bit harder, that's all. If we lose to Forest, but then go on a five game winning spree, you know what? - I'd really fancy our chances for the autos.

Alternatively we could be if we win Monday and Friday 2nd at worst and pressure will then be on Burnley and Boro for the weekend.

Be a bit of an anti climax to start waving the white flag now?

I think 'Swillis' has gone into his '**** here for free' deposit after getting away with complete 'I love you bollocks' to all Albion fans for weeks.

Let's just concentrate on hoping we win the game and **** everyone else...I can't believe there won't be a few twists and turns to come.

I thought we had blown the playoffs during our poor run and I thought we had blown auto with Burnley's late equaliser. Fortunately this squad keep proving me wrong...long may it continue, well for another six games

If we don't win on Monday we will be less likely to finish top 2 that's all.

I think the top 6 and bottom 3 will not change in composition now. Yeah I know, Bolton are down and Bumley & Boro can't finish lower than 6th but you know what I mean.

Really? If we win, promotion is still in our hands. Only five games afterwards.

Absolutely not. Burnley were very lucky today, Vokes got injured and they still have to play Boro - this team definitely won't give up until it is mathematically impossible.

The thing which particularly encourages me is that, despite Burnley grinding out draws recently (other than today), they are are on an unbeaten run of 18 or thereby so hopefully someone is going to burst their bubble some time soon !

It really relies on Boro wobbling twice and then we have to beat them at their place.

Still the weekends results made all our other games (apart from Boro) friendlies as they have nothing to play for, none of them. A few weeks ago and they all looked incredibly hard. But the same applies to Boro and Burnley, although they have to play each other.

There are 18 points still to play for and we're five points behind the leader with a game in hand. I've been seeing threads like this for months now! We've got an incredibly resilient squad and most of our players are fit now.

Of course we're still in the mix....

I think a defeat would all but end our automatic hopes, clearly not impossible but with the points difference I think we would need to win the remaining five and just can't see that happening. On the flip side though as someone said earlier if we win our next 2 then that heaps the pressure on Burnley and Boro next weekend.
