    Want a Burton win more than a Birmingham win but a draw has got to be best for us surely?

    No. If we finish below Burton we'll be down anyway They're quite a way behind still. Burton win definitely best for us I reckon.

    Quite a way behind us? 3 points?

    The way I see it is that if there’s a draw then only 2 points have been won. If one team wins then it’s 3 points.

    I agree if we finish below Burton though we’ll probably be relegated.

    I see your point. It's effectively 4 with goal difference though. At the end of the day, if we can't finish above Burton we don't deserve to stop up.

    If Burton win we are still 3 points ahead of them with a game in hand
    Birmingham are 2 points ahead of us.
    This means if we win our game in hand we are 6 points ahead of Burton with 5 to play which is a huge gap and go a point in front of Birmingham which could be vital.

    If they draw we are further ahead of Burton but lose the important point against Birmingham.

    As we have to finish above 3 teams we need to close the gap on those in front of us and not worry about those below.

    Yep. Exactly how I see it. The current bottom 3 aren't all going to stay up so if we finish below either of the 2 teams below us then we are down. Need to forget them and catch another one.

    Look at the game stats. Birmingham look like they are battering them 11 shots on target against 1 for Burton which they obviously scored from. We need them to hang on though but the stats indicate they might not.
