AppyDAZE Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 My take for what it's worth (not much, i grant you) is Boro & Derby = 50/50 ish who makes it. (I have this hunch Boro win, and Derby only to draw, so Boro for me) City = big outsiders , can't see two clubs throwing their chance away.

But they're not they're play WBA who are already assured a play off place and will most probably want to rest key players and not risk injury. I know you'll say they'll want to finish 3rd to avoid Villa but I'm not sure they'll worry too much who they play. On paper Borough have the easiest game but we all know this league. Had we beaten Reading or Birmingham we would be favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we beaten Reading or Birmingham we would be favourites. New EFL rule says clubs have to play- injuries or suspensions notwithstanding I assume- 10 players who started in the previous game. How seriously the WBA players e.g. would be taking it is a different matter, but mass rotation isn't an option now it seems. Quote The policy states: “For any league match played on or after the fourth Thursday in March, any team sheet for a league game should include at least 10 outfield players who featured on the team sheet for the league match before.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post above quotes the EFL as saying ‘after the 4th Thursday in March, a club’s team sheet must include at least 10 outfield players who played in the previous game’ - how can anyone start with more than the 10?! “At least” seems a bit confusing, so basically they are saying a club can only change the ‘keeper? Really? So we’ve broken that rule already? Or does it refer to the whole squad? If so, changes can be made and players can be rested ...either way, that rule’s wording is confusing as you’ve presented it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway all we have to do on Sunday is win and hope results go our way - we are the outsiders and I don't think anyone can argue with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Remember the last time we wanted Rotherham to do us a favour? Weren't they 1-0 up at home to 10 men of Villa and still lost! I reckon Boro will give them a hiding regardless of their manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poland_exile Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Personally would think it's typical of this season (ours and everyone else's) if all three of us lose, draw or somehow conspire to shoot ourselves in the nuts. (disclaimer: that's not a pointed barb at us, it's been a great season!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how it was written I believe though- Chipley Red seems to explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
