If we can win tomorrow night, the pressure on Reading to win on Saturday will be massive.For once playing on a Friday night could massively be in our favour. ....Of course we have to win the game first.

Advantage playing tomorrow night?

Its our only and last chance for an advantage
I reckon DISADVANTAGE.
If we win on Friday, then Bournemouth go into their match with Forest knowing that they are effectively out of it, thus reducing their incentive to get a result, and thus increasing the likelihood that Forest will be still in it on the 3rd.
(All ignoring that we still need Reading to slip up, too)
Its all a bit academic and straw clutching having not done the business v Blackpool.

For once I think Kevtherev is right.
I also think we will win.
Why? because it'll get our hopes up nicely, just to have them dashed on the final day of the season.
Reading are just as inconsistent as all the teams in the 6-10th shake up so, wouldn't be surprised if they do fluff their lines IF we win.

C'mon the Albion!
As long as the team decide to go for it in the first few minutes of the game, and the Amex will get behind the boys and cheer them onto victory in the final league game of the season!!

'fraid I'm slightly more inclined to go with this.
However, I'm sure I read somewhere that Bournemouth are going for their highest ever league finish (or highest for a long time), so that could provide some incentive for them...

The incentive for Bournemouth taking all 3 points is going above Forest in the table.
We need to forget pretty much everyone bar Reading. We HAVE to win our 2 games. All that matters is that Reading don't win both of theirs. IMO.
I can't see that something like that would serve as any incentive to their players sadly. To Howe maybe - higher finish is better on his CV.
A win on Friday, coupled with a Bournemouth win, would mean that Forest go into our final game with nothing to play for.
A Bournemouth-Forest draw would be the consolation prize - leaving Forest needing to beat us by 4 or so to overhaul us.
That's the point, you DIN. Forest going into our game with nothing to play for, would INCREASE our chances of achieving that.

If that doesn't incentivise the Bournemouth players then they shouldn't be playing. Higher league finish equals higher prize money and potentially higher player bonuses.
Bleh. We'll win it. Playing away against a good side.

What will be will be! Fwiw, I think we will win the next two as will Reading leaving us to dream once again about what could've been!
