    From the Brentford Boatd:

    “I think Bournemouth would be my preferred opponents. Barnsley are such a drain to play, especially over two legs, that we could be exhausted for the final. We lost our next two games last time we played them.

    The Swansea game has so much bad blood attached to it, for no obvious reason that I can see, that it would be bad tempered and unpredictable like a derby game. But I make us favourites for the playoffs whoever we play.”

    I'm not sure what would be more satisfying - beating them (Brentford) in a playoff or them going out to another side and us promoted so they could bemoan how they would have beaten us if they'd played us. Who am I kidding, it's beating them.

    I'm going to approach it like last season - low expectation, getting anything is a bonus.

    I don't even think they qualify as being chavs, to be a chav you have to have some sort of identity .

    If we were to make it to the Play-Off Final, I wonder how many tickets we would be allocated?

    BBC Wales News bulletin somewhat grudgingly reported that we had secured our place in the play offs - they screened just one goal out of the four ..... no surprises for guessing it wasn’t one of ours - they showed the second Reading goal.....

    I’d expect nothing different from them.

    First half of the game we looked like a team playing a pre season friendly and trying not to ruffle feathers on the bench...a poor defend from Bidwell gifted them their goal and the home side subsequently went looking for the kill...start of the second half we continued as before with only Lowe looking really interested....triple substitution with Andre thrust in to the fray who created an equaliser with his first touch although marked by two men...scored from a good cross from Bidwell and we should have closed the game out but Reading equalised in the last few seconds good result for us but not for Reading....
