paddy20 Stranded NewCorkSeth Am I alone in thinking the Boro game is very winnable? And that Birmingham are likely to be on the beach now?
Also wouldn't it be funny if Birmingham finished 19th for the 3rd year in a row.
Oh yeah 6pts is absolutely attainable over the last 2 games, my post was simply a comment on how we think we'll set up as Gomes was clear that we aren't safe yet in his mind. Whatever happens there, I'd expect a much more attacking performance v Brum on the last day.
We could just as easily lose 4-0 on Saturday with no forwards to speak of and Mdboro fighting for play offs. WBA will field a weakened team as they are already secure. Rotheram will be battling for survival still and could nick it by one or two goals. That leaves a 7 goal difference going into last game
Boro have only scored more than 1 goal in a home game on 5 occasions this season, of those only once did the manage 3 and that was back in August. Conversely, they have failed to score 7 times at home this year. They've scored 21 goals in 22 games.
You would have to be very, very unconfident to think we are turning up there on Saturday and getting turned over 4-0. A win is possible but a draw is likely.
We have proven very tough to beat on the road this year, it is winning that has been elusive. Only 10 teams have lost less than us on the road. Only Stoke have drawn more than our 11.
If we can turn 4 or 5 of those draws in to wins next season and continue our improved home form, we should have a decent year next year.
