    It keeps the same gap from us?

    I don't think either side would be happy with a draw.

    But they've got two points on us, and a 'gimme' against Burton to come?

    There are no gimmes. And remember we have a game in hand still. if i were in there position, I'd be looking at this game as a must win. More games to come, but you could nail your nearest rivals and probably be safe.

    They’ll be happy with a draw. We won’t.

    Agree. We are at home and need to make this game count.

    No, they can't be happy with a draw. they would gain more from it than us of course having the 2 point gap, but them playing for a draw would be very dangerous. If we matched their results til end of season and won the game in hand, it would be curtains for them. So can't see them coming for anything but to try and win this. Trouble is, we will smash em. :)

    I simply cannot see Birmingham taking anything but a heavy defeat away at Wolves on Sunday. To this end for me it makes the Bolton game a MUST win for us....in fact a MUST win for Bolton too. Its not gonna be easy tomorrow in the slightest.

    They would obviously rather win but if it is a draw I think they go home happier.
    For us I feel it's not must win bit it is must not lose.

    They must be low in confidence and if we could nick this one with a game in hand then it could finish them off confidence wise, they looked safeish a few weeks back.

    I think the gimmie is that they're playing at Burton. Burton have been quite solid away but lost something ridiculous like 12 out the last 13 at home. Mind you Bolton have been horrific away so who knows.

    I know what you mean a win would go a long way. But if we do draw we could still stay up. We could also win and still go down.

    As long as we don't lose, thats what we have to remember.
    But if we dominate and fail to win, or if we blow the lead because of sitting back etc, then a draw will feel like a loss.
