Win next two games and promoted

[G0foste]

Win our next two games and we are up. Be 8 points clear with two to play.

[Herts Clarets]

Win v Watford and a draw v Sheff Utd will be enough barring a miracle GD swing

[jedi_master]

Easter Monday will be a very good day to be a Burnley fan. Time to book Tuesday off.

[G0foste]

No, we will be 5 point clear with two still to play

[Herts Clarets]

No, we will be 5 point clear with two still to play

And plus 20 goal difference which is as good as a point

[BobSykes]

For so long the game on Easter Monday was our get out of jail card to promotion, now I'm rather wishing we didn't have to play them as they get a chance to close the gap by 3 points if it does go badly wrong. Either way, where we are now was a dreamland scenario a few weeks back even 7 days ago in fact... get in, and thank you Plymouth.

[Ampth7]

One game at a time as the saying goes!

[Juan Tanamera]

No, we will be 5 point clear with two still to play

Assuming both us and Sheffyoo win next Friday we will still be 5 points ahead of them.
If we then beat them on Easter Monday we'll be eight points ahead with two games remaining.
Game over for Sheffield United.

[Clarets4me]

It's simple, beat Sheffield United on Easter Monday, and we're up ....

[Georgiaclaret]

Draw next Friday and beat Sheffield and it’s done and dusted. Six point gap with two to play and miles better goal difference.

[distortiondave]

If we beat Watford and avoid defeat against Sheffield United we are promoted, regardless of what Sheffield United do against Cardiff, unless they can turn around at least 25 goals in the last two games, which they can't.

[HurstGrangeClaret]

The top and bottom of it is they are going to have to get six points more than us from their last four games, one of which is against us.
I’m a firm believer in not counting chickens but it looks a lot better than it did just a week ago.

[Bosscat]

Lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet ... Small matter of Watford Away 1st ... One game at a time folks one game at a time ...

[RVclaret]

Watford’s best two players are out for the season. We’ve got this one. Hopefully we can sell out and back the lads.

[Spijed]

If we beat Watford and avoid defeat against Sheffield United we are promoted, regardless of what Sheffield United do against Cardiff, unless they can turn around at least 25 goals in the last two games, which they can't.

If Sheffield United beat Cardiff and draw against us they'd still be five points behind with two to play

[distortiondave]

Quite right they would spidgers, I've not even started drinking yet!

[mkmel]

Watford’s best two players are out for the season. We’ve got this one. Hopefully we can sell out and back the lads.

Who are the two players?

I hope one of them is their Georgian international?

[me01jh]

Some of you lot are absolutely terrible at maths.

We are 5 points clear not 6. If we win at Watford and draw with Sheff Utd and they match our Watford result then we will still be 5 ahead with 6 points available. Lose our last two matches and Sheff Utd win both then they go up.

Lots and lots to play for, saving grace for Sheff Utd is that they still have us to play.

[Goliath]

If we only get 3 points from the remaining 4 games, by my calculations Sheff Utd still have to get 3 wins out of 4 to finish above us. It would take a hell of a twist for that all to happen.

[RVclaret]

Who are the two players?

I hope one of them is their Georgian international?

Yes him and Baah (scored against us in the last game).

[Vegas Claret]

That Sheff Utd score would have just given our lads a massive unexpected boost, there will be a determination there to get it done in the next two games by winning both - title to try and win after that.

[Roosterbooster]

Win v Watford and a draw v Sheff Utd will be enough barring a miracle GD swing

If we win v Watford and draw against SU we will be on 92pts
If SU match that they will be on 87pts - they could finish on 93pts

Doesn't matter if our GD is miles better unless we finish on the same pts

[matttheclaret]

If we win v Watford and draw against SU we will be on 92pts
If SU match that they will be on 87pts - they could finish on 93pts

Doesn't matter if our GD is miles better unless we finish on the same pts

Yep.

On the other hand, if we draw with Watford and beat Sheff Utd it's job done with the GD

[me01jh]

That Sheff Utd score would have just given our lads a massive unexpected boost, there will be a determination there to get it done in the next two games by winning both - title to try and win after that.

Agreed but being forever the realist, if we draw away at Watford (which is likely, let's be honest) then that completely changes the dynamics of the Sheff Utd match, being a must win for them and a must not lose for us.

[me01jh]

However 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat for guaranteed promotion seems well within us.

[FCBurnley]

Well and truly in our own hands. Magic number is 7

[BurnleyFC]

First time this season I’ve been convinced of it, which is daft seeing as we’re unbeaten in 29 games, but we’re going up.

[willsclarets]

It's a great weekend, but I won't be able to relax one bit unless we manage to win our next two. Me and my heart would prefer no last day drama if at all possible

[Vegas Claret]

We need to win at Watford, Wilder will play the tallest lads he has against us and just play for set pieces

[Newcastleclaret93]

Win our next game and we could be there or there abouts if Sheffield don’t.

[Goliath]

We need to win at Watford, Wilder will play the tallest lads he has against us and just play for set pieces

Wilder will be outsmarted by Parker for the 2nd time this season. They are levels apart.

[Jakubs Tash]

It’s cup football mentality that’s needed.

One game at a time trying to focus on the next one and winning that.

[Milltown1882]

Bed wetters out in force today. Match their result Friday, beat them Easter Monday and it’s done.

[jurek]

Let's not count our chickens as they say but....
as long as we don't lose at Watford then we're in with more than a very good
chance even if Sheff. Utd win their game.

But if we win at Watford then even if we lose to Utd on Monday
then it's still in our hands.

Either way it's going to be a difficult game against Sheffield
as they'll throw everything at it.

Be great if we could have it sewn up before our last game
against Millwall.

[FCBurnley]

Well and truly in our own hands. Magic number is 7

Just to clarify our points magic number of 7 to be promoted automatically is any combination of points gained by us or dropped by SU.
If we beat Sheff U our magic number will drop to 1 so a draw at Watford and beat Sheff U means we will be promoted

[equinox]

Maybe all those 0-0 draws weren't that bad after all?

[Clarets4me]

It's a great weekend, but I won't be able to relax one bit unless we manage to win our next two. Me and my heart would prefer no last day drama if at all possible /quote]

Me too, I don't want to be relying on Rovers having to get a result at Bramhall Lane on the last day to clinch promotion ...

[equinox]

...would it be better for Sheffield United's 2point deduction to prove irrelevant or funny if they missed out on the automatic spots because of it?

Yawn you really are a boring old fart.

[redwasp]

Just seen an interesting stat, Sheff Utd have lost more games this week than we have all season.

[Vegas Claret]

Yawn you really are a boring old fart.

he is 100% spot on

[Muric Leggings]

he is 100% spot on

And you sit at the top table along side of him Yawn.

[Bosscat]

he is 100% spot on

Ignore IT Vegas or IT will start stalking you too

[warksclaret]

We should not worry too much about Sheff Utd-they have lost more games in 7 days than we have in 42 games, and they have lost 9 league games too

[HurstGrangeClaret]

Yawn you really are a boring old fart.

What is wrong with some of our posters?
Why can’t they just enjoy the moment instead of being obnoxious.
ML, you need to give your head a wobble.

[boatshed bill]

If we beat Watford and avoid defeat against Sheffield United we are promoted, regardless of what Sheffield United do against Cardiff, unless they can turn around at least 25 goals in the last two games, which they can't.

Sheff Utd could win 3 plus a draw with us equals 93 points
We would be 3rd if we lose the other 2 games

Don't count yer chickens

Just let this sink in and stop your worrying

[Ric_C]

Another good thing about Plymouth winning was that it keeps them right in the mix.

They play Leeds at home on the last day

[mybloodisclaret]

Blades will have to attack us. That rarely ends well for the opposition who do that.

Think Watford were the last team who did that (at the Turf) and whilst it looked a very 2-1 victory it was perhaps our best performance of the season and 5-0 wouldn't have been unfair.

[ElectroClaret]

As someone posted on another thread, if we win at Watford, I really can't see us not being promoted.
