The play off rehearsals start today. We play 4 of the top six and need to win them all to get into the play offs. Then we have to do it again. If we get there there's no doubt we will deserve it. Its a long shot and could be over by 5pm today, but get behind the lads and let's give ourselves a chance.
 
Still feel they will have too much for us. We are running half a squad, and despite thumping Huddersfield we struggled against them for 60 minutes, did nothing against Watford and lost to Birmingham

Flashbacks to the horrendous reverse leg where we put 9 men behind the ball

Feels like a game that will be decided by a set piece
 
Not been so nervous about a game in a long, long time.

After such a great start to the season, and somehow clawing this chance at the play-offs back again despite all our injuries, the team really do deserve to get rewarded for it.
 
'We're champing on the bit.' Why does this phrase worry me? Is Ali injured, yes or no? Is Seargant out? Will Osmajic start?
Can we / will we win? So many questions.

Always said and many others prob if we could still be in mix when we play today's fixture it would be a bonus which we are. Hopefully the lads take it. And no performances like Watford etc. UTW. BIG WEEK

I'm in row 11 actually.

But have been told it travels, sorry, its a medical condition.
 
Can’t think of much else today. It’s not quite knock out football from now on -because 12 points would probably be enough. But today IS knockout football.

Win - we keep our chance alive and roll on to the next big one.
Draw - we really have to win the last 4 and hope Norwich don’t pick up 7 points from their remaining fixtures.
Lose - mentally give up and pray for a miracle!
 
The only positive I can think of for todays game is that we are pretty decent at home.

Only lost one in 2024.

Our injury’s are horrendous but this season we always seem to pull through when we pick up a lot of injuries.

The squad have shown a lot of character in recent weeks. I still don’t think we will get in the play offs (winning at Southampton, QPR and West Brom are big asks) but I fancy us winning today.
 
One point from Brum/Watford wasn’t enough with the games we have left

Even a win today leaves us up against it.

No point fannying around though , just have a go and get in their faces from the off.
