Even if we get hammered tomorrow we're still right in the mix for a play off spot. It's big, but it's not must-win by any stretch.

No, I don't think so. We probably won't get promoted whatever happens tomorrow. In terms of getting into the play-offs the game against Palace was almost as big, but if we'd lost that they'd have done the double over us for the first time in 81 years, and as a consequence we'd have to listen to them banging on about it for years.

The season isn't defined by one game, it's no bigger than the last one. It's just more weight is put on it because it's 6th v 7th

Yes, yes it is.

Leicester are there for the taking. Barnsley should have put 5 past them last week. Their confidence must be on the floor, and we have a chance to really kick them whilst they're down.

If we draw tomorrow or, heaven forbid, lose - the trips to both 'boros look very, very difficult.

Depends on the result.

If we lose or draw, we're in a scrap, and other games will take on a much bigger profile than this.

But if we win v Leicester, we'll be cast-iron favourites for the play-offs and are likely to look back on Saturday as the crunch match in our regular season.

Although it's not a "must win" in any arithmetical sense, my feeling is that following the Forest and Charlton draws anything other than a win tomorrow will have a dampening effect psychologically and will impair any potential upward momentum for the last bit of the season, with knock-on effects on subsequent matches, several of which will be pretty tough challenges in any case.

The match we need to keep an eye on tomorrow is Bolton v Wolves, if we draw and Bolton win they will be only two points behind us.

However they still have to go to Leicester and Cardiff before the end of the season.

Maybe my memory is horrendous but I remember being far more nervous about some other games when Gus first took over, mainly due to our position at the time and the potential problems a defeat could have caused.

I suppose it depends what you classify as biggest.

If you think it's important for us it's colossal for Leicester City. They've lost £45million in the last 2 seasons and defeat will make it very likely they won't be dining at the Prem table for another season.
