Using Burnley as a target team to finish above for automatic promotion, how does this sound….Burnley don’t beat Blackburn on Sunday as they haven’t beaten them in like 30 odd years, so let’s assume a draw. That would put them 15pts clear of us but we would have 2 games in hand. Let’s assume that due to our current purple patch that we win those 2 games in hand, that would close the gap to just 9pts and we have to go to their place yet. Now what if we were to beat them at theirs? 6pts the gap ! How would you feel then with 11 to play ? Think about it ! Be positive !
A lot of ifs there, Phil. I can’t see them all going our way.
Burnley are very much the team in form at the moment. And one of our games in hand is against Leicester.
We’ll discuss this further after the weekend.
a) No
b) YesI wondered which of our scribes would come up with that combination :lol:[/quote]
Damn, I was waiting for someone to point out how ‘thick’ I was being ;)
Opinion. I dont think Wigan have enough to win three play-off ties this season.
And besides, some on here wouldnt want to go up via the playoffs judging by their scathing views of other sports’ playoff systems!

Be positive !Sorry, Phil, but Burnley beat Blackburn for the first time since 1979.
Burnley may be further out of reach but it wasn’t a bad weekend for Wigan in the Championship.
Ipswich and Blackburn lost, while Brighton and Reading got just a point each.
A point on Wednesday will be enough to take Wigan into the top six. A win will put them level on points with Forest.
