I think Bristol beat PNE to secure 5th.

I can't see anything other than a Burnley win at home to Millwall, so that rules them out of it.

Which leaves Coventry & Middlesbrough who play each other, and Blackburn.

If Coventry & Boro drew, and Blackburn beat us then Blackburn would leapfrog both of them into 6th and face us in the play-offs.
Which would surely be our favoured option?

I don't think we will lose to Blackburn though, and I can't see Coventry losing at home so I suspect the play-offs will be:

Coventry City v Sheffield United
Bristol City v Sunderland.

Think you're spot on there

 

[Silky Sabella]

Unbelievable, and Coventry will not get 6th now, Middlesbrough will.
Before Lampard got the job, Matt Bloomfield (Top Man) was heavily linked with the job.
Today, Matt Bloomfield, following 3 mightily impressive results has almost kept Luton up, and stopped Coventry making the play offs.
True to form Lampard, always crumbles under pressure.
Yet again, just as against Burnley, James Collins has had a massive mix up with one of his own players which has led to a goal.

Yep, we should have enough to beat Cov, be great to get an away leg win to start.

We could put out a second XI, injure the entire Blackburn first team and the contrive to lose the game so we get them in the playoffs. Just an idea.

That's giving me flashbacks of the battle of Bramall lane!

Shackleton and Cannon getting red cards wouldn't be the worst thing in the world tbh......

 

[HVR]

Think Burnley will want to go out with 100 points - so will definitely be playing to win.

 

[FriethBlade]

Doesn't look good for Millwall with them going to Burnley on the final day.

Hopefully they will sort the Burnley twats out if they encroach onto the pitch again

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Aye
Will be playing for the title n’all (no matter how unrealistic that may appear- dirties v Brizzle City not a foregone conclusion)

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

It's interesting that all the playoff teams are in poor form now. Millwall are the only team that keeps winning. Blackburn might end up grabbing a playoff spot out of nowhere.

Just for balance so are we though

 

[Thrice]

Just for balance so are we though

True. Could be some ugly football in the playoffs with all the teams nervous and out of form.

It would be an incredible achievement they’ve kept pace all season been 3rd for what feels like a lifetime (I’m probably wrong)

The Scott Parker thread on here is eye opening with regards to opinions. Think he’s done a fantastic job.

 

[I should coco]

Millwall will lose to Burnley.

On the pitch, maybe, but I'm sure a load of the old Millwall will make the trip Oop North.

Might be better than Chris’s tactics ?

 

[Jon Bon II]

Their little S2 cell is conspicuous by its absence all of a sudden. Hello skinnies. Can you hear us? We're talking about you. Where are you?

 

[Tezza1889]

Do you know what these tactics are..

Well done if so.


Boot it to hamer and hope..

 

[jono_t2000]

How many games is De Silva banned for. Will he miss the first leg of the playoffs?

 

[Northyorksblade]

Think it's only one. So no.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Think it's only one. So no.

Depends on his previous disciplinary record this season too. Which I don’t know and can’t be arsed to check

 

[Torrix1889]

Loads of the games on Saturday have something riding on them;

Blades v Blackburn who have a chance of the play-offs
Plymouth v Leeds who will need to win to win the league, (presuming they beat Bristol City tonight)
West Brom v Luton who could go down
Derby v Stoke either could go down
Pompey v Hull who could go down
Bristol City who, (presuming they lose tonight) will need to win to guarantee play-offs v Preston, who could go down
Burnley who will need to win to win the league v Millwall who have a chance of the play-offs
Coventry v Boro is a potential play-off shootout!

And of course the biggest of them all.....Watford v Pigs in "the battle for 12th"......

and then go and lose to them
