Lots of discussion about our approach, but i wonder if they might take a pragmatic view, with an eye on the playoffs?
It would take a hugely improbable set of results for them to get second from here. Even if they beat us, it would need both us and Millwall to fail to win very winnable final games. It would also need them to beat Preston by a greater margin than Boro manage if they beat Wrexham.
Not saying they won't try and win, that would be daft, but perhaps a bit more rotation than they might have done had they beaten Bristol city last week. |  |

I think their fullback Wellington who looked pretty good against City will be out. Possibly thigh or hamstring injury. I noticed several minutes before he came off he was holding his leg. |  | | |

Actually, the leg which he was holding was in all likelihood that of Lord Uxbridge. |  |

Never made it into the Abba lyrics though, did it ? |  |

They have to come at us and win. Nothing to lose from their point of view. I expect them to try and come out of the blocks fast.
I imagine McKenna's remit to the players will be to stay solid and weather the early storm whilst making it a bit of a scrappy game. Make them get desperate as the games goes on and pick our moments on the counter attack. | | | |

But yes! It was the very subject of their lesser known hit, Let No Saucy Knave Presume penned by Agnetha developed from a song title she came up with after she met me in Liberty's in the 90s.
Here rests, and let no saucy knave
Presume to sneer and laugh,
To learn that mouldering in the grave
Is laid a British calf.
For he who writes these lines is sure
That those who read the whole
Will find such laugh were premature,
For here, too, lies a sole.
And here five little ones repose,
Twin-born with other five;
Unheeded by their brother toes,
Who now are all alive.
A leg and foot to speak more plain
Lie here, of one commanding;
Who, though his wits he might retain,
Lost half his understanding.
And when the guns, with thunder fraught,
Pour'd bullets thick as hail,
Could only in this way be taught
To give his foe leg-bail.
And now in England, just as gay -
As in the battle brave -
Goes to the rout, review, or play,
With one foot in the grave.
Fortune in vain here showed her spite,
For he will still be found,
Should England's sons engage in fight,
Resolved to stand his ground.
But fortune's pardon I must beg,
She meant not to disarm;
And when she lopped the hero's leg
By no means sought his harm,
And but indulged a harmless whim,
Since he could walk with one,
She saw two legs were lost on him
Who never meant to run. | |

They’ve got to proper go for it if they want a chance of getting second, if they do that it could help us unless they’re uncontrollable and get a couple of early goals of course. |
My thoughts exactly, it’s mathematically possible so they have to go for it, which i feel should suit us, we will either win, or get battered is my prediction. |  | | |

They'll want to beat us, no doubt about that.
Firstly, it gives them a chance of autos. Yes us AND Millwall will have to lose, but it's a chance that isn't available to them if they don't win.
Secondly, they'll want to overtake Middlesbrough and claim 4th at the very least to gain home advantage in playoffs.
Thirdly, it's momentum. If we slip up at QPR, the perennial party poopers, then they may face Ipswich again in the playoffs and winning tonight gives them a psychologial edge in next encounter.
Fourthly, they won't want to see us 'effectively' seal promotion at their place. |  | | |

Southampton win and you have 4 teams separated by just one point. Being in the driving seat that would put us under the most pressure. |  |

if it's 1-1 in stoppage time I think we throw Walton up for a corner. that's how valuable a draw is. it's not worthless but it's not worth protecting. | | | |

Of course it is worth protecting. It would kill Southampton off completely. And mean a point on the final day would see us ahead of Boro too (should Millwall lose). | | | |

They've had a lot of games recently and must be mentally tired.
My advice to them would be to go on a 3-day bender as a "team building" exercise culminating an hour before the game. |  |

Surely they go all out for it? That's what I'd expect us to do in this position. They win theey're 3rd and need us and Millwall not to win the last game.
If they lose, well they'll finish 4th. A draw is really irrelevant to them. | | | |

I reckon they'll come out looking to really get at us, maximum press, etc.
a) because they need to win
b) because they'll know that we're a bit vulnerable to teams who put us on the back foot. |  |

They’re 4 points behind Millwall, why do people struggle with this so much? |  |
