A Sunderland draw, and Preston win at Sheff Utd, would put us level on points ...

...that could make the last day quite weird depending on other results this weekend.

Just one of a dozen different scenarios.

(Is that the plural of scenario, my mind is strarting to unravel.)

I'm just hoping Sheff Utd aren't out on the drink tonight.

Good thing is our goal difference mate so I think whatever happened we'd have to beat them and cross our fingers on other results. Beat them we finish above them in that scenario. Personally think win last 2 games we're in the play offs. 4 points needs the gods to keep smiling on us quite a bit. Great we're so close and whatever happens, as you've said many times, the lads can be proud and we ca be proud of them. Smashing young team this, absolutely brilliant!

That's now a fact unless Millwall score four more goals over the two matches.

In their last seven games they've failed to score in five and only won once.

Sixth place really is ours to lose.
 
Quick question guys. I'm currently in Greece and was wondering if I would be able to purchase a pass for this game and watch it on the app or is it only for customers whose home address is abroad?

These games are all in the mind. Just got to have the belief we are going to win both games.....and likewise the three after that. If I was a player I woold think we have come to far now to fall at the last hurdle.....a bit like running a marathon which is 26.2 miles.....we don't want to fall at last 0.2. We have the talent....we certainly will have the support which is really got to count for a goal in both games. We have also taken our bumps and bruises over the season. To me I was amazed...shocked at how good we really were at WBA. A game of such importance and to we we took them apart with such a young team. There big lads were dropping like pussies crying for their mothers when they were touched....ffs guys grow up. Going for a Sunderland win 3 - 2.....as we do and we all have read the script we will be 2 - 0 down but will come through with another great comeback......said this many times before but it's crucial to remember that faint hearts win f*ck all.....then off to Preston and apply the same.....would love to see Gelhardt get the winner for all the **** he's took. There's a good footballer in that lad....HTL!!!!

Excellent post mate, agree with all of that, especially about the courage this team has.

It's much easier to be like West Brom whose players shirk the responsibility to take a player on, put in that run or make that pass ...

... it's all about sticking to that shape, hoofing the ball upfield and mixing aggression with a big dollop of cheating.

Our baby faced assassins put them all on their sorry arses <laugh>

I reckon you’ll be able to buy a pass and pay the overseas price. It doesn’t matter if your home address is in the UK. At least that’s how it worked a year or two back. Can anybody confirm?
 
Great thread again RTB. Thanks for your efforts. I'm in the Highlands for a week for this one but Mrs W has said it would be daft to miss this one and to get myself away. 5 hour drive . Oh well thanks love ill be a good lad the rest of the week honest. The match could be a difficult one a team with nowt to play for relaxed and able to attack. I'm hoping like me there on holiday already. Come on boys one big last push. Hopefully 3 points and move on. Keep the faith lads and lasses.
