Whilst an over optimistic thread opener and can see the possibility of Burnley dropping points in those three games, mainly because two of them are both localish rivals that may up their game a little. However I think it is going to be harder than most seem to think to win the next two games, Fulham on there day can be decent, and the same for QPR. And both will bring a reasonable following behind that South goal.
I wouldn't be confident of stopping Fulham or QPR scoring against us which means we need at least two goals in each game.

Obviously you're glossing over the fact we'd have to win 3 tough Championship league games (2 against squads that cost a lot more £s than ous fwiw)

Most seemingly think we've won the next 3 games already. Talking about all the scenarios and how many points Burnley will drop etc etc. It's a big, big ask for us to win the next 3 - let's just concentrate on us winning each game as it comes first eh chaps?

Nope. I don't often get these chances to dream. I'm with the OP.

I don't mind dreaming and coming up with the scenarios - my point was, in everyone's scenarios we've won the next 3! 7 points from the 3 would be an excellent return normally - yes we've got to go for it now etc - just think it's being glossed over like the post I highlighted above: 'I think Burnley will drop pts - perhaps take 5pts out of that lot? - that would then leave us 2pts clear possibly when we play Derby' - bit presumptive!

How many did we lose on the bounce when we were unbeaten in 21?

If this happens, we'll all be buying....
It would be marvellous to rub Derby's noses in it and then go to 'Boro with a shootout for the title, both already promoted.

Could get messy
So a team unbeaten in 18 are going to lose the next 3? I hope you are right.

I thought I was being optimistic with my belief that a win against Derby will send us up. This is next level rosetintery. Bravo.

You've got to have a dream, because if you don't have a dream, then how the f*** are you gonna have a dream come true!?

My money's on any promotion party being dependant on the result at Middlesbrough on the last day of the season.

I hate threads like these. Asking for trouble. Bet the Boro/Burnley fans are rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of giving this a hearty bounce.
