Pole Position

[Green Cross Code Man]

I fully expect us to lose to Blackpool and/or Yeovil.

You can always tell the players with a long experience of watching the Albion.

After the Poyet debacle, it's quite wonderful we are still battling for promotion with 3 games left. Monday will be massive followed by Friday which will be even bigger. What a great 1st season for Garcia, can't wait till we see some of his signings next season and he makes the team truly his!

 

[Boston28]

Sorry miscalculated that would only get us in the finals we need 4 wins 1 draw and then another win

Three wins and three draws would do it. Draw all three playoff games 0-0 and win them on penalties.

 

[Caveman]

For me we MUST win both our home games, we don't won't to be going to Forest needing a win. I fully expect Forest to still be in with a shout in that final game... I don't think I could cope with us needing a win there.

The way our season has gone and lack of scoring wouldn't it be funny if we became the first team ever to get promoted via the play offs without actually scoring a goal !!!

We are 13 points behind Derby. Is it fair?

If Reading beat Boro(h) and Donny(a) ( both very winnable ), we will have to win at Forest as Reading will have a promoted, hung over Burnley B team at home on the final day.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Don't like the way Forest will have pretty much all their players back for the last game...I really hope we don't have to win there.

I'm hoping we don't even need a point at Forest. I don't see them being in with a shout but it will be a big day for them regardless. Pearce will possibly be paraded around the place pre match, programme notes about their history and instilling pride and all that, and this game will mark the beginning of their next season.

Hopefully just a party for us!

No, it's not fair, but it's the rules of the competition.

Get really nervous when playing teams in relegation zone. We seem to blow it. Not this time though. Confidence.!!!!

Here's an alternative I've dreamt up.

The 3rd team to get promoted should be the team from 3rd - 6th position with best record against the top two.

Brighton: P4 W3 D1 L0 PTS 10
Wigan: P3 W0 D2 L1 PTS 2 (with 1 to play)
QPR: P4 W0 D1 L3 PTS 1
Derby: P4 W0 D0 L4 PTS 0

That is a pretty amazing set of stats I think.

 

[maltaseagull]

What a weekend of results! Reading, Bournemouth and Ipswich all losing. It's all ours to lose now.

Win the next 3 and we're guaranteed a play off spot

Win the 3 after that, or possibly even 2 out of the 3 after that, and we're in The Premiership

SEAGULLS SEAGULLS

Win the next 6 and we are promoted? Unlikely thought This is the albion!

Probably lose to Yeovil now
