Good luck 89 points you deserve it

I don't think you do know how it feels. We missed out in the playoffs two seasons running, but this year has been different - we've been better and have missed out due to refereeing decisions.
I do appreciate your wishes of luck.

Appreciated, but I fear the despair of defeat you are referring to, or particularly the manner of the defeat (if you can call it that, we drew the game) is what has already happened to us. Some of us, even the most die hard, are struggling to build it up again for the start of the playoffs, as we have missed out on what we all felt we deserved by 2 GD and were prevented from contesting the outcome by an official - whose decision will in turn affect us in the 2, hopefully 3 games to come.
It's of note that, had you beaten us 2-0 or by any comfortable margin, we'd all be feeling alot better about the coming games. Instead, we feel robbed and aggrieved and anything less than another showdown, at Wembley this time, is a disappointment and less than we deserve. We all know what the playoffs are like though, and Sheffield Wednesday will be a tough challenge in of itself with no guarantees.

Talk about evading the question! Are you a politician?
But thanks for the good wishes. Glad you're not Burnley.

Well I hope not, You have only lost five games this season..that gives me every reason to think Brighton will get promotion and like I said I hope so you deserve it.

You seem to be alone at the moment in your rejection of a friendly and reasonable approach from a rival fan ......

Good for you Fridge. I still quietly seethe about Craig Pawson's refereeing performance in our home game against Burnley. I thought Dyche had him in his pocket. So Dean's yellow/ red card pantomime brought up old wounds. Anyway you deserve to go up and were better than Norwich last season.

Thanks fridge.
As you know, all clubs and their supporters boards have a few small-minded, immature, angry saddos who just can't let things go.
Ah, I see you've meet one of ours.
Very fairly put. Mind you, we already know all about the despair of defeat in the play-offs - three times we've been in the play-offs from this division, and missed out every time - including twice in the last three seasons.
A lot on here think the mighty Sheffield Wednesday are world beaters, only surpassed by the invincible Derby.
Not a view I subscribe to.
Thanks for your good luck wishes once again.

The problem is that we've only beaten Hull out of the top 6. All the rest, apart from your December game at ours,have been draws.
We need to beat teams around us, which doesn't give me much hope for the playoffs.

But that is history - this says we are good enough:
Team P W D L F A GD Pts
Brighton 46 24 17 5 72 42 30 89
Hull 46 24 11 11 69 35 34 83
Derby 46 21 15 10 66 43 23 78
Sheff Wed 46 19 17 10 66 45 21 74

That means nothing now. 4 teams play two games on a level footing.
Ever heard of positivity? It might mean nothing to you but it shows we are good enough irrespective of past results.

That's patronising. I don't feel positive despite how hard I try.
