I agree - we cannot catch the top three so we want them to win their matches (apart from against us of course). West Ham have to go to Leicester later on so we don't want that to be a dead rubber.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Is this our season after all?

That is because they compared us to them
And therein lies their great mistake
Hold them for 20 mins, accompanied by a good old shout of "HOOF" at every pass, and singing "We're Brighton & Hove Albion, we play on the floor" etc just to wind them up even more. They'll be calling for Sam's head by half-time...

I see Leicester are coming quickly on the outside - might be the side who comes from nowhere and ends up going up? Hope not.

This. I'm more worried about Leicester than I am about Cardiff. Cardiff aren't going to make the play-offs, but Leicester really could.

I think we probably blew our chance with that defeat at Burnley on Friday - but as always, I will keep hoping until it becomes mathematically impossible. If (and it's a big if) we can beat Reading, that will keep the flame flickering, but looking at our run in (four out of the five games are ones you wouldn't really choose for the run in) I think the play-offs will just be a bridge too far.
Would love to be wrong, though!

I wouldn't want to have to win at Barnsley on the last day of the season - That is all.
I still can't see us turning over Reading but think that a point would be a good return. I do fancy us to win at West Ham though. Just have a feeling that the dodgy away form can't continue and they are very nervous at their own place. If we bag 4 out of the 6 on offer then I think we are right in this.
Aaaaagh, the tension.
Aaaaagh, the tension.
If we get to Barnsley on the last day in a position that a win would get us in the play-offs, I would be over the moon!
I agree with that, but think we have more chance to get 3 at the Amex than on the road. Our home record this season is better than Reading's away record...
If we do win tomorrow then I think everything else will fall into place for the playoffs... and I'll go mental.

I'm not sure why people think we've got a good chance at West Ham. They've lost once in ten - and that was against Reading.
Could be two in eleven. We have lost two in seventeen.
Probably make that 2 in 11...
Drawn 5 and lost 1 of their last 6 at home. Think Palace, Watford and Donny were in those draws so not exactly world beaters. Coming under a lot of pressure from all angles and 2 down already tonight. And surely we're due a performance away from home? West Ham are exactly the sort of side we struggle against though

Our destiny lays in our hands, stuff the other results and just pick up points all in our remaining games.
I'm no pundit but I reckon 3 wins and a draw would do the trick.

Nope. One in eleven. We might get a point. Winning is an extremely tough call
