    Obviously Cardiff are promoted so there's now 3 of us competing for automatic promotion with 3 games left.

    Us on 77 points
    Watford on 71
    Palace on 66 (but with 4 games to go)

    Leicester's next 2 games are against Palace on Saturday, and Watford next Friday so depending on our result we could go from only being guaranteed 4th place to being promoted without kicking a ball.

    If we lose (or draw) against Bristol, Leicester avoiding defeat on Saturday knocks Palace out of it, and obviously then beating Watford the following week would leave us a point off sealing it (or would seal it if we'd drawn)

    If we beat Bristol then Palace are out of it, and we can watch Leicester take anything off Watford to seal our promotion the night before we go to Barnsley. (assuming Blackburn haven't done a job on Watford themselves)

    Lesster will be up for it now after overtaking BWFC.

    Can't see Watford avoiding defeat at Lesster.

    Yes, except that by the time Leicester have played both our rivals we'll still only have played one game.
