3-0 to Burnley and they go top!!
They only need to win by two to go top.

I've had enough of this attitude. We've broken records this season, we've had a massive lead of 8 points. I'll be annoyed if we are not crowned champions.
All that said my hunch is that we will play fairly well on Saturday and get a positive results. Everyone knows the score, we always turn up a good performance out of the blue.

Only? You make it sound like beating a team who are unbeaten in 18 games sound trivial.

Talk about the wobbles, I have just jumped on Betfair and laid us at 1.02 to NOT get promoted. I know it's a rather lousy thing to do, but if we don't go up at least I can afford to drown my sorrows in style. If we do go up, which I know is the most likely outcome, I pay out ten quid and, may I say, will be more than happy to do so!

They will but the players will be aware of that. I'd be inclined to bring Hammond in. He changed the game at Blackburn, doing the horrible stuff to free Drinkwater to play the ball forward. Since halftime on Saturday we've looked lightweight in the middle if the park, probably due to tiredness.

Talk about folk being nervous, WTF !!!!
If the gap closes to 5pts, then maybe. Whilst we are ahead, no matter how badly we play in an individual game, i'd still sooner be in our shoes.
Everyone expected Yeovil to be a banker game, and it proved that no game is a guarantee. That applies to our rivals as well. It would be no surprise to me if the likes of Charlton, Millwall, Yeovil , take the odd point off our rivals.
Our record against the current top 6 this season is......P6 W5 D1 L0......so why should we worry about playing the likes of QPR, Burnley, Wigan, and Reading ?
Yes, Burnley may beat us on Saturday and go on to win the title, but that will only be a small disappointment by the time we line up in the prem next year.
After last night, Derby are out of it imo. QPR are the only team that have a slim outside chance of catching us. I suppose after 10 years of mainly mediocrity, our doom merchants are looking at every possible way we can cock this up. I dont see it .
