Us v Fulham
Bolton v boro
Birmingham v Burnley
Playing on the Friday night gives us the perfect chance to pile the pressure on the others. Ik Leeds have just won there but Birmingham won't be easy for Burnley. Bolton os a banana skim for boro as Bolton have no pressure now. They are playing for pride and futures at the club. If we win v Fulham, anything can happen in the other to games. Which then sets us up perfectly for another home game whilst they have to play each other.Its still in our hands, we need to believe. We can do this.

Can't see any problems for Burnley or Boro this weekend. With McCormack and Dembele to marshall,we probably have the toughest fixture. Luckily, Fulham's defence looks to be woeful.

I'll be very surprised if they mess up their games this weekend, pressures on us, again!

I think we have seen, anyone can beat anyone in this league. So no given for any of us, we just need to keep grinding out wins and for sure Boro and Burnley will drop some points in next 4/5 games (outside playing each other).

Fulham is the most difficult game out of those by far, they've won their last 3 games on the spin.

A couple of weeks ago it looked like Brum could be a real spoiler for any of the top 3 ... no longer probably but they may have one last puff in them.

Possibly not. According to Google, this is the Esperanto version:

Ludi sur la vendredvespere donas al ni la perfektan ŝancon amasiĝas la premon sur la aliajn. Ik Leeds ĵus gajnis tie sed Birmingham ne estos facila por Burnley. Bolton VIN banano haŭto por boro kiel bolton ne premo nun. Ili ludas por fiero kaj estontecoj en la klubo. Se ni gajnos v Fulham, io povas okazi en la aliaj ludoj. Kiu tiam metas nin perfekte por alia hejmmatĉo dum ili devos ludi ĉiu other.Its ankoraŭ en niaj manoj, ni devas kredi. Ni povas fari ĉi tion.

Don't know what that proves, other than that it's probably a good job Esperanto never caught on!

Burnley will lose to Birmingham, draw (thanks to a last minute equaliser) against Boro, and lose to Preston. That's one point from the next three which'll see the Albion ROMP into the automatic promotion places.

We need us and Boro to win all the remaining games and some team to get a draw against Burnley. It is now vital for us that Boro beat Burnley any other result is bad for us.

Think the Preston game is key for them as well as Boro. Local derby etc, Preston won't want to lose face.

Pressure does funny things. All 3 teams have scraped wins in the past week or so in games they could have lost or drawn. This will be a matter of who can hold their nerve. It's imperative we take 6/6 from the next two at home. If we can apply the pressure someone may crack. You would expect Burnley and Boro to win this weekend but if we can pile the pressure on to them you never know. This time last year Middlesbrough and Norwich were the top 2 but both lost games you would expect them to win. Hopefully this year is the same.
alternatively if we string 5 wins together which is harder said than done we will be there anyway.

It's all about who gives a toss at this stage rather than ability. Suspect Fulham and Birmingham will be less bothered than Bolton, which may be enough for them to get a point against Burnley.

Although relegated Bolton may have the pride to want to beat Boro and Hull, at least we hope so

Personally, I'd rather we won all our remaining games and Boro lost all theirs, but I'm sure your logic is better some how

Also your scenario is impossible

Sorry didnt make it clear us and Boro to win all of our games prior to 7th May when a draw would suffice for both of us to get promoted.

It's alright, it was obvious what you meant. sheebo was being cheeky. You should give him a clip round the ear, youngens should respect their elders.
