1-2

Burton pulled a goal back. Still 2-1 to Ipswich.

Please, please, please Tractor Boys!!!

[Bigdoggsteel]

Think Burton just hit the bar 

[Rover_Shaun]

Sadly Leeds are on the beach ready for the playoffs so Burton will win that. Based on form we have to beat Bristol. Don't and we're toast.

[Stuart]

Not a chance, have you not seen how tight the play-off places are...

Fulham are only 3 point behind them so there can be no slip ups.

Cant see Birmingham and Bristol City getting many points from their fixtures.

Rovers need to get more than 47 to send one of them down.

Need 2 wins and a draw

[Rover_Shaun]

Oops I was thinking of Hudds.

Either way I've learnt not to hope on the last 6 years. This team of no hopers will kick you in the nuts if you do

On Monday Brum play Burton. I honestly don't know who I want to win that game. I think Burton.

[Bigdoggsteel]

No team appears to be rolling over. Even those with nothing to play for but points. I'm starting to believe again. Dangerous

I'm starting to notice a trend that home teams are the ones losing the crucial games. Pressure I wonder?

Draw maybe? 

As long as we win, I don't really mind to be honest. 

[Salgado Is Still A Hero]

Luke Varney own goal, what a player.

Puts him on minus 1 in his Burton career so far.

Can't see that changing much either.

[Hullrover]

Win all ours = 55, then Bristol max 56, then Brum max 56, then Burton max 54. Wigan max 52. It's in our hands.

[AdamRochina]

I can see bristol winning the home games against brum and barnsley. Not away to brighton. So again depends on the game against us..i think bristol are safe tbh its between us brum burton and forrest

Yeah. Only two points taken from the fixture, rather than three.

[RevidgeBlue]

How quickly things change. With 13 minutes to go today we were dead and buried. Now although we could still go down its very much all to play for.

With everyone apart from Brum displaying a certain amount of spirit I can see there being a number of twists and turns before we're done. I could quite easily see a side on the last day thinking they're safe with 20 mins to go, a couole of quick goals later and bang they're gone.

Hope we end up on the right side of it.

Reminiscent of Chris Brown here.

No goals v one red card.

God knows what possesses people to sign players like that. 

[47er]

Birmingham in real trouble I think. All 4 of their remaining games involve something to play for for both sides.

2 relegation-threatened sides, 1 play-off team and local rivals Aston Villa.

They could collapse under that. However I was wrong about Bristol so, no doubt, lots of twists and turns to come yet!

[duggy9197]

i can see one team winning all 4 and one losing all 4,glad i had a chaddy on brum at 12s
