What ever results the next two games produce, without doubt this has been a great season so far and which with the football God's permission is going to get better

Let the other two do there own stuff as we know if we win both games we are up regardless
No point in complicating things

Totally agree. But we can be Birmingham fans tonight.

We now have to get a result v Derby, Realistically though, to beat Derby and go top, & throw down the gauntlet to Burnley & Middlesbrough and close the goal difference will be massive. I don't want to have to go to the last game needing only to win. I think it would heap pressure on Burnley if we were ahead of them aswell. So a win is a must for me on Monday, it would really put us in the driving seat. Burnley are not assured a result against QPR and with a win on Monday and we are in pole position. Let's go for it!!!

Any kind of win v Derby means that goal difference is irrelevant as far as Boro are concerned after their draw.

This thread should be at the top of the page until Monday. Too many people getting ahead of themselves thinking we're already off to Boro only needing a point.

Both games are like cup finals.

Goal difference means everything, it can be the difference between promotion and playoffs; by the same token goal difference can promoted a team as Champions.

A win for Hull today and a point for Cardiff please, that will consolidate Derby's 5th place and zip to place for

But with Burnley to play after, we could find ourselves top with a better goal difference than Burnley and being level or 3 points ahead. With their recorded of dropping points in 3 of their last 6 games, we need to go all out to beat Derby on Monday.

Are we doing streamers and balloons on Monday as I prefer it to torn up Argus although it a good use for it.

We could go for the 'High risk Strategy'.

Put out a reserve side against Derby and go for broke and a win against Middlesboro.

Advantages; The players fresh for the final game. No injuries to contend with from the Derby game. No potential red cards. Should we only make the play-offs, Derby won't have played against our best eleven.

Disadvantages;...Only a manager who was mad would do this.

We began this fabulous season with a win against an East Midlands side that allowed us to sing 'We're Brighton & Hove Albion: - We're top of the league.' 'Boro's draw means that we have the chance to do the same thing at our last home game.

It might only be for a couple of hours until Burnley beat QPR and it might not end up being our last home game if we can't get something from 'Boro, but none of us thought we'd stay there when we first sang it back in August. It still felt bloody good to sing it.

If all goes well, Monday could be the last time we all see each other at the Amex this season. Going out with a win would be fantastic, even if it ultimately proves irrelevant to our promotion chances.
