A particularly obnoxious and arrogant Bumley fan I know reckons they will walk the play-offs even if they don't finish in the top two. If they finish 3rd they won't go up in my opinion. It will be very, very hard for Whichever team that finishes 3rd and therefore misses out on automatic promotion by a whisker to raise themselves for the play-offs having been so close to promotion. It's happened plenty of times in these circumstances where a 3rd place team just missing out on automatic promotion have not even got past the two-legged part of the play-offs. It's different if the 3rd place team finishes well-behind 2nd place, but in Bumleys case having been in the top two for so long and looking like they were going up as champions a few weeks back, the disappointment would be huge.

I agree - I think Derby might triumph in the play offs this time

As much as I don't like to admit it, I think they'll get automatic promotion. Particularly when you consider that Brighton and 'Boro play each other the last game of the season. Just hope it isn't as Champions, it means they're getting one closer to our trophy haul! :rover:

Yeh me too. That Boro v Brighton game means I can't paint a picture were they miss out. If Boro had have hung on last night it would have been a different story.

It's a pity that Venky's haven't looked across at our near neighbours and used them as a guide for how to run a football club. Shrewd management in the boardroom, retaining a bright manager following relegation and assembling a squad without breaking the bank, indeed, making a profit in the process and in with an excellent chance of returning to the Premier League in time to pick up the new riches on offer next season. Burnley have already used the money from their previous brief flirtations with the Premier League to secure the long term future of the club rather than pay inflated wages to players who were well past their prime. A stark contrast to how Venky's have operated since our relegation.

Very similar to the way we were run prior to Venky's arriving on the scene :(

why would they?

They know everything and know best.

Celino suspended and fined again http://www.thefa.com/news/governance/2016/apr/edoardo-cellino-banned-200416

What a pity he does not have a FA approved agent and former FA business partner under contract to run the club on his behalf, then he could get away with anything he wants without so much of a wrinkling of an FA tie or a glance up from a free lunch

That's Cellino junior. Cellino senior is still in the process of appealing his second suspension from being a director.

Rochdale have a really promising young midfielder. A lad called Callum Camps. I haven't seen him play but mates of mine who have rate him very highly indeed. The latest information is he's off to Burnley in the summer.

Let's hope Preston are the big licks they THINK they are.

Unfortunately looks like the dingles will go straight up. They have a resilience and the luck you need for promotion.

I think Boro will slip up.

For one day only....COME ON PKE!!!

I wonder if the Dingles messageboards are currently being infiltrated by Knob Enders taunting them that they took more to t'Turd than Burnley will to Dumpdale, or better still, that Rovers sold more tickets for their game at Preston than Burnley have, despite them being on the verge of promotion.

Come on PNE! (Pity they're rubbish)

Have they built some temporary stands in Moor Park to hold the thousands locked out?

I hope that little rat Garner does himself on the post whilst scoring the winner, if only Carlsberg did football games.

I'd take that Gav, him sliding in and knocking one in at the back post whilst doing his best Phil Babb impression would be nice

I think Rovers miss some of Garner's spite, snide and work ethic.

He's one of those players, if he plays for your team, he's adored.

I don't understand Garners issue with Rovers, at the time he was here there was no way he was ever getting close to being in the first team. Even now he has only made it to the championship by playing for a club he was promoted with. Strange lad

He's not very good Lancaster, bitter at not making here, simple as that.

He's found his level I'd imagine, probably punching slightly above it actually, but if he scores a hatrick tonight I'll take his ugly mug down off my dartboard :tu:

Strange folk are footballers, whilst you expect players to have confidence in their ability, you'd think it was tempered by a bit of realism

It's got Preston 0 - Burnley 1 written all over it.

Preston to dominate possession, attempts, corners, shots, probably hit the woodwork or miss numerous golden opportunities.

Burnley to have one attempt on target and score. Even their own deluded fans will admit they were very fortunate to get anything out of the game.

That's happened 15-20 times this season and I expect will happen again tonight.
