It's not a 'do or die' encounter though, is it? Whoever doesn't prevail gets another crack at promotion via the play-offs.
Yes, except NSC has already waved the white flags in front of Sheffield Massive and Derby, so it might as well be

To be honest, I'm quite philosophical about tomorrow. The chances are (and the bookies agree) Middlesbrough will do it. In front of their home fans, and they only need a draw. It may welll be we have to go down the play-off route. We would be the best team in the play-offs and would stand a very decent chance of getting to Wembley and winning. What a fantastic day that would be. So stand or fall tomorrow, we can still make it.

I am thinking, that with our record of having only beaten Hull at home, and having drawn all the other games against the other play off contenders that it might come down to how good we are at penalties. I am hoping we are more Germany then England

That game still give me goose bumps, hair on the neck standing up etc. Brian Moore commentary - classic! Imagine similar tomorrow with us prevailing like that!
"An unbelievable climax to the season"
If we scored an injury-time winner tomorrow, I will definitely be having an unbelievable climax.

"It's up for grabs now!" as Kayal's through ball finds Wilson in the 90th minute........
Of course our job is easier than Arsenal's as they had to win by two at Anfield.
I'd be more comfortable if this could be the 95th minute.

Hard to say we would be the best team in play offs.
How often has third place gone up via play offs?
League position means nothing
That said I have a sneaking feeling we will do it tomorrow.
1-0 down at half time, we win 2-1.

Third places teams have the highest success rate.
"Just because the Germans score a few victories doesn't mean they always win in the end."
Yes Jimmy Glass the ex-Bees keeper came up for the final corner and scored! It only kept Carlisle up for another season though I think.
Yes, lost against Yeovil in the play-off final. But look what happened to THEM. Bees then got promoted a season later.
