Burnley v Nottingham Forest Cardiff City v Blackburn Rovers Blackpool v Crystal Palace Barnsley v Leicester City Can do us all a favour. Nice little 4 timer there.
If Blackpool score first then they'll win it as Palace's confidence must have been dented by their result against Brum and their heads will go down. I definitely think pool have the players to trouble a defence lacking in confidence. Although it's nice to see Cardiff wobbling i'm not too worried about catching them up, just as long as we get an auto spot. Pearson has got to close to the precipice now, Barnsley will be fighting for their lives (as the cliche goes) and I can see them getting a draw. I can't see Forest being involved in the race for runner up spot, we'd have to lose four of our games and they'd need to win all theirs.
Here's my predictions: Burnley 1-1 Forest - Burnley score goals, Forest are a good outfit but Turf Moor is a hard place to go Blackpool 2-1 Palace - Zaha is back but Blackpool will surely want to beat Holloway's boys Cardiff 2-0 Rovers - Just can't see Blackburn doing anything at Cardiff, they've lost their last three away and not scored plus Bellamy back for Cardiff Barnsley 1-1 Leicester - Hard game for flat-top, he's certainly under pressure but they should be good enough for a point against a poorer team
Palace have to win that if they are still gonna catch 2nd, **** or bust for them I think. They all know if we beat Watford its play off time. Burnley1 Forest 2 Blackpool 1 Palace 2 Cardiff 2 Blackburn 0 Barnsley 0 Leicester 1
I don't think Leicester or Forest matter to us now in terms of the top 2. It's all about Watford and Palace.
I'd include Palace tbh, it's just between us & Watford and has been for a while as far as I'm concerned. Palace could even tail off massively if they lose at Blackpool.
It would be so nice if all the B teams could obtain draws today. With Cardiff @ Watford(ko 5.20pm live on sky) on saturday what price City being top or joint top by 8pm on the 6th april 2013 ??
Burnley 2 Forest 2 Blackpool 2 Palace 1 Cardiff 2 Blackburn 0 Barnsley 1 Leicester 0 Just hope Palace get beat or at the worst draw. If Lesta do lose to Barnsley then the writing could well be on the wall for NP.
