If Leicester get at least a point on Saturday they will have a chance of reaching 100 points - that would be a special achievement and will provide a great incentive - they certainly won't ease up. Remember how it was important to break the ton vs Hartlepool - you can't take the achievement away - it is special.
It will come down to goal difference on the last day. We will be losing 5-2 at Blackpool and get a last minute penalty which we need to score to stay up. At that crucial moment José Riga sends on a substitute to take the penalty. After that I don't know what happens. I think the ball bursts.
not really worried about anyone apart from Blackpool - as long as they don't win on sat it doesn't matter what else happens as it is still in our hands as we have to play them sat week. I reckon we'll be safe by then but even if we're not, all we have to do is go there & not lose. easy peasy.
But there are three other teams involved, all with more points than Blackburn. Brighton play Yeovil on Friday at home and Reading are away to Doncaster.

Yes, this makes Blackburn outsiders - too many teams ahead of them for me. The fewer games remaining, the bigger the factor this is.
The next 2 games are gonna be tough on their own, regardless whether Blackburn or Watford have anything to play for. With these followed by potential relegation decider with Blackpool its a horrible run in. A win will guarantee surivival in any of the 3 games. If we lose to Blackburn or Watford (or both) we need to make sure its not by loads of goals going into the Blackpool game. Squeaky bum time, if they haven't already been squeaking this season.
Need to concentrate on our own matches and not worry about others.

This is true.....but there are no easy games- we haven't lost to these teams in our previous matches this season. I think we should go into them positively, not fearfully.
Why are people saying we won't get anything from the Blackburn game?
Yes they are on form and it is a shame that they have an outside chance of a play off spot,but as well as beating Brum ,they only drew with Yeovil Friday.
By the time we play on Saturday, Reading and Brighton both play. This will potentially make their play off aspiration more difficult. Personally I fancy us for a point at least. On Saturday Watford will be out of it if they fail to beat Derby, so hopefully Tuesday will be a dead rubber for them.
I think there is a spirit in the camp which will see us home before Blackpool.
Good man. I have been extolling the virtues of positivity post Barnsley, prior to Bolton & Sheff Wed. We're by no means safe but let us build on the Sheff Wed result. I would love for us to win on Saturday and one of Millwall, Doncaster & Blackpool lose. Being safe going into those final 2 would be great, and also help us enjoy the last home game. In some ways, if we stay up, I have really enjoyed this season. The last relegation battle that we won and stayed up was 88/89, and I was too young to really appreciate it.
The football hasn't been pretty, but we've had some memorable games, and each win seemed to be monumental at the time. Brighton at home, Bournemouth & QPR were absolutely brilliant. The QPR game really did leave me drained at the end. I can only imagine how those that went to Leeds and Sheff Wed must have been feeling.
COYR let's go out on an absolute high and beat Blackburn.

Unless you mean Watfords chances then yes I agree they aint go no chance.
