Silvio Dante Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 So, after 45 games we’re still in the mix with something to play for. Boro have to win because of GD, Derby have to get something from a tough assignment. It’s still possible. But whatever happens, the fullest of credit to the team and management. We’ve been through a GK crisis, a spate of terrible decisions and some godawful home form - yet we’re here and have a shout still. We could finish on 72 and miss out - and anyone would have taken 72 at season start. I’m still calling it. It’s still on. But if it doesn’t happen, we can all be exceptionally proud of our club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 WBA will want to beat Derby and finish 3rd avoiding Villa until the final ! Only Bolton and Rotherham have scored fewer goals than Boro this season so no guarantee of a Boro win in my view . Sunday is going to be fun and whatever happens I for one am as proud as **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perverse way, we’re almost in the best position. What we have to do is simple - win. The pressures off us and we play better that way. Set that against Boro with both the expectation and the need to play in the un-Pulis way of going to win a game, and FLDC with the favourites tag which they (the fans and some players) don’t cope well with Its definitely not impossible!

Eastside Moonwalker Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 8 goal difference isn’t the biggest thing to overcome too, if derby get someone sent off or Gayle and Roderiguez are on form they could easily get a few goals , it just relies on us having a half similar to the West Brom game at AG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSEL85 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Well I don't think there's any where near as much pressure on us as there is on Derby or Boro, let's enjoy the last game and what will be will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be sweet- they can't make the playoffs I know which is the only thing that could have made it sweeter still, to seal our place in the top 6 vs the very side who denied us in 2008?

Rudolf Hucker Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Pulis is bound to go for an attacking formation and just play six centre backs. Cavalier bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin101 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Exciting to be a part of, and whilst our chances are slim we’ve always been better as underdogs. It almost means we can just go out and enjoy Sunday (until we need just a goal to finish 6th...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 79 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 If someone had said at the start of the season that on the last game of the season we would have an outside chance of making the play offs I would have defiantly taken that. its been a bizarre season but whatever happens Johnson has again made progress on the previous season.

Gazred Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I've watched enough football in my lifetime to know it's unlikely but we do have a chance. Weird shit happens in sport, we could sneak in if we do our bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
