    All of a sudden this has grown into a big match for us and one we're capable of winning ...

    ... good luck to everyone travelling down, hope you come out singing.

    Another huge game for safc today. Squad down to bare bones. To get a win, it's going to have to be season topper performance.

    Haway.

    I remember driving to Reading, who were above us, wondering how we'd cope without Stewart then Simms went off ...

    ... we somehow managed to batter them, had about 70% possession and restricted them to two or three decent shots.

    It's West Brom's turn to have a striker out, just hope they don't 'do a Sunderland'.

    The pressure is all on them so I hope we relax, get our shots off quicker and get the home crowd jumpy ... boing fkn boing <laugh>

    Whole team needs to stand up and be counted against the boingers!

    I personally would be making them watch the end scene of last of the mohicans to get them up for it.

    let’s friggin have it lads !

    Difficult game today but hopefully one we can get a result in. Be interesting to see the team sheet.

    Need to try and avoid giving stupid free kicks away as they're good in the air. Might be difficult with this ref like, averages 4 cards per game, and most of his games seem to be low scoring. Not sure if that's down to the **** quality or him breaking play up constantly, blowing for free kicks.

    This is the business end of the season and we've seen the lads stand up to the pressure before, Clarke seemed to thrive in it last year so hoping for a big performance today. Another whose missing who doesn't get talked about as a miss is Embleton, I'm not his biggest fan but always popped up with a goal when the chips were down.

    Seriously tight in the race for those 2 remaining places. We've proved before that when our backs are against the wall and we have injury problems the players step up, here's hoping we can do it again. Hoping for a win but think it might be a draw

    Safe journey to all the fans going.

    Huge game, a win and we got to fancy our chances. Defeat n thatll be it done.

    No matter what, what a season and what an experience itll be for our young players playing in a high pressured game - thats going to stand them in good stead going forward no matter what

    If the worst happens and we do lose I’d love to see more of the watsons and Johnson’s next week, free hit and I’d fancy them to get a result against Watford too just through sheer enthusiasm

    I’m volunteering at a running event in Durham city centre… however, I have sky tv and sky mobile. Soo I should be able to stream the match for free in theory on my iPad!!
