'It's the hope that kills you'. I have spent the last few days resisting the urge to get drawn in to believing that we might actually stay up. Since about October 2017 I have been reconciled to relegation, got used to that fact and been comfortable with it. I have been going to games to support the club and to watch some football and have not looked at the league table since October 2017.
If we do stay up I think it will be the strangest season I have seen and will be almost surreal.
The bonus points on offer here will hopefully summon up our collective will to make something happen. For this you have to predict Brewers goalscorers (plural). You may select 3 players and for each of the 3 that scores you may have 3 points. (If a player that you select scores 2 or more goals you would still only earn 3 points. Predicting no Brewers goalscorers will not earn any points should that materialise. The goalscoring order is an irrelevance as it is not a challenge to guess the first goalscorer).

I was sat at the Sunderland game last Saturday at the 80 min mark, and thought well thats it then, but what followed was 10 mins of madness, the whole season flipped on its head as Boyces header hit the back of the net. Football is amazing when things like this happen.
I did laugh to myself as three Newcastle fans next to me jumped around like madmen!!!
Another massive game today and its do or die, come on Brewers lets smash this. I want nothing more than NC to ram some humble pie down my throat.
Brewers 3 -0 Bolton
Bent, Boyce & Sabera

It's incredible that we've got a chance of staying in the Championship for a third season! I'm still being optimistic:-
Brewers 2 - 1 Bolton
Possible scorers: Sordell, Akins, Boyce

Sticking to my word though.

Two weeks ago I predicted a 5-0 home defeat and expressed my concern at how the season was ebbing away. What a difference the last two weeks have made! Of course having predicted another heavy defeat last week in the hope of invoking some peculiar sense of opposite karma I am obliged to do the same again! So Brewers 2 Trotters 5 for me.
Bent and Boyce to repeat the heroics of last week and if I have to pick a third to give me an option of extra points well its about time Damian McCrory let rip.
Still undecided whether I really want another winter of discontent or a year when we might actually win some games but right now, I'd take the great escape.

I cannot believe that we are still in with a chance of staying up despite all the doom and gloom we have had. Well done to the lads for giving us hope. I think it will be difficult against Bolton as I expect them to park the bus. If we score early then we may have a good game but if we don't then we are unlikely to get anything from the game. I will be positive and go for a 3.1 Brewers win with Boyce, Bent and Akins scoring.
