Boro need to win all of their final 4 matches, 3 wins and a draw won’t be enough because we’d beat them on goal difference even if we lose our last 4 narrowly.
The other teams mentioned still have a couple of tough matches against top 4 sides AND most have a game against each other out of the scrapping desperados.
We can actually play some very relaxed and un inhibited football in the next 4 games and rest a few and protect a few.
The others below us can’t do that and those above us can’t either as they fight for the top 2 spots.
Southampton can’t slacken off yet, they have 2 games in hand on 2 of the sides above them and they play Leeds in their final match.
We will go into the play offs with the most relaxed and rested squad and hopefully with everyone apart from Dike fit.
Nobody will fancy us in that semi, we are likely to play a tired and mentally gutted team.
