THE MATCH - SATURDAY 7TH MAY 2016 at 12.30PM BST

 V   

Well after last weeks very satisfying result this match becomes a bit of a dead rubber in the whole scheme of things!! We are fixed in 6th position and have no control over anything else left to be decided. Having said that if we are able to keep a clean sheet then we would set a new club record for clean sheets in a season, and to me that is worth playing for in itself!!

This will be the 114th meeting with them with a not great record of W37 D30 L46, our away record is bloody awful though at W10 D13 L34 and over the last 10 games at their place we have W2 D4 L4, so as its been a season of improving these records, lets see if we can improve that one!!


THE LAST MATCH

Great crowd, great atmosphere and great performance!!! A worthy win in a game we needed to win but one which they needed to win even more!! It does seem we perform very well in pressure situations and in front of big crowds, and that bodes very well for what will surely be pressure games in the playoffs!!!




THE ROAD AHEAD

So with our win against Cardiff and Derby's draw against Brighton, we are confirmed as finishing in 6th place and will therefore play whichever team finishes 3rd. Congratulations to Burnley on gaining automatic promotion, probably the most consistent side for sure this season and now we can sit back and watch the other two auto hopefuls Boro and Brighton play each other to decide the other spot. From our perspective this is about the best scenario we could have hoped for, two teams hopefully going full pelt at each other, with all the blood and thunder that the Championship can offer!! Whoever loses in this one will have expended a ton of energy just to miss out and will hopefully be devastated as a consequence!!

The question is who do you want to face in the playoffs and why???? Please discuss!!


OUR TEAM

Wallace is suspended still, CC has stateed that Forestieri and Hutchinson will not feature in this game, so the question is who else will CC rest for the playoffs. I know this has been discussed on the Cardiff thread, but what do we think will be the team.
