The RUN-IN ver 8.0 - still in our hands, come on Boro 17:58 - Apr 20 with 1645 views | unstableblue | CURRENT LEAGUE TABLE 1. Leicester P 43 GD 42 Pts 91 2. Ipswich P 43 GD 32 Pts 89 3. Leeds P 43 GD 42 Pts 87 4. Saints P 43 GD 29 Pts 84 All the same played now. We just need to focus on ourselves as the permutations are becoming ridiculous. Boro is the hope - KMac get on the phone to Carrick. Hull didn’t capitalise on Norwich slip. Saints a huge blow for them but will still want to win midweek against Leicester especially if Leeds falter. West Brom deserved at least point today. Hudds will be down by last game. RUN-IN SEQUENCE (league position of opponent) 1) Mon 22nd 20:00 Boro (9th) v Leeds 2) Tues 23rd April 20:00 Leicester v Southampton 3) Fri 26th 20:00 QPR (18th) v Leeds Sat 27th April 15:00 Saints v Stoke (17th) 20:00 Hull (7) v Ipswich Mon 29th 20:00 PNE (10th) v Leicester 4) Tues 30th April 20:00 Coventry (8th) v Ipswich 5) Sat 4th May 12.30 Ipswich v Huddersfield (22nd) 12.30 Leeds v Southampton 12.30 Leicester v Blackburn (19th) [ | |

The RUN-IN ver 8.0 - still in our hands, come on Boro on 18:40 - Apr 20 with 1478 views | Kropotkin123 | Point of order - Huddersfield play Birmingham next weekend. If the lose, they are down. But if they win, they are out of the relegation zone with Birmingham taking their place. No guarantees, but it couldn't be more in their hands ahead of our game. Boro is huge. A win for Boro means we only need 5 points. Cross all your fingers for a Boro win. [Post edited 20 Apr 18:44]

A Boro win, would put us so in the driving seat. But Leeds attack are so good. Going to be a cracker. Thanks for Hudds update. Only this league would have Hudds (at home!) against Brum next weekend. We want Sheff Weds to win tomorrow? Meaning Hudds survival is even less likely!? | |

Boror have nothing to play for so we can't be sure whether they will turn up or not. Hull, on the other hand still have an outside chance if they beat Coventry on Wednesday and their game against us will be their final chance. Vice versa for Coventry. A draw between the two on Wednesday would be good for us. | |

We really wanted West Brom and dare I say it Norwich wins today. But we’ve just got to ignore the permutations and just get ready for Saturday night, with fresh legs against a fatigued Hull. | |

Cardiff had nothing to play for today! Boro are good, and Carrick will want to do his old mate Kieran a big favour. | |

Huddersfield needed to win today. They lost 0-4 to Swansea. | | | |

If, god forbid, we lose to Hull, and anyone on here mentions the squad being tired, I’m going to explode. | |

By the time we KO next weekend against Hull, they could well be out of it regardless of if they beat Coventry this week. If Coventry win their next 2 games then it's possible they could take things to the last day of the season with a slightly inferior GD to Norwich. | |

The RUN-IN ver 8.0 - still in our hands, come on Boro on 08:03 - Apr 21 with 646 views | franz_tyson | It might still be in our hands, but that's only if we win all our games. I'll be amazed if we win all 3. Let's be honest..... we don't look like we could from recent form. We're going to need a bit of help. If we come to the last game with Huddersfield and all we need is a win.... then I'm in the "It's in our own hands" club. Until then, it's cross your fingers time. | | | |

Us and all the top 4 clubs have everything to play for .... yet we've all been stumbling. When will the " nothing to play for " myth be busted? Maybe there's an advantage for a less pressured team vs a highly pressured team to add to the algorithm? | | | |
The RUN-IN ver 8.0 - still in our hands, come on Boro on 08:32 - Apr 21 with 578 views | ringwoodblue | Much as Boro looked good against us, my fear is that they will probably be sh1te against Leeds. I don’t buy this ‘Carrick doing his mate a favour’ thing otherwise he would’ve let us win at PR. We just have to do this ourselves and not rely on other results/teams. COYB! | |

There are so many variables that can lead to a team with nothing to play for be an easier win or a tougher match. It all depends on whether it clicks for the team with nothing to play for. They could score a goal straight off of the training pitch then gaps open up and they score another, or they could let in an early goal and roll over. Generally if you get the first goal against those teams, you most likely will have an easy match. | | | |

If he could do us a favour whilst also getting the three points, then surely that is optimal. He will want to win anyway, but it might add a little bit to it, but his players won't care about KM. | | | |

"Generally, if you get the first goal against those teams, you most likely will have an easy match." Cardiff v Southampton? Saints first goal? Easy match? I do think you have a point.... but generally is maybe nearer to sometimes than always. | | | |
