Really? You're usually a bag of nerves?
Brighton win, Hudds win, draw at Norwich confirms promotion.

Brighton win, Hudds draw we're going up whatever (I think) and that's the way I think the results are going.
If that happens i'll still be celebrating due to our GD. Hudds won't beat Derby though
Let's say we scrape 1-0 tomorrow. That's puts us +32 on Hudds. There will be 7 games to reverse that......so let's assume :
Hudds have 4 x 5-0 wins (when was the last time they scored 5 without conceding ?)
We have 3 x 4-0 defeats (when was the last time we conceded 4?)
Even that only brings them level. Win tomorrow, we're up. I'm putting a bottle or two in the fridge ready.
What dose lose mean?
That all sounds good, but unfortunately there will be 8 games for Huddersfield to reverse the GD (3 for us, 5 for them). Looks like it's the playoffs again.

Basically, a 1 goal win for us tomorrow would mean on average us having to lose all three remaining games by 4 goals and Huddersfield win all five of theirs by 4. Thats just to put their GD level with ours. Not going to happen. We can celebrate with a win tomorrow

It's basically where we see a lot of running around and the ball ends up in the Albion net more often than in the other team's net.

Got it. Now WTF does dose mean?

Dose does mean...a quantity of a medicine or drug taken or recommended to be taken at a particular time.

We will not concede goals like Barnsley did to give Powell a hat trick.

Lose every game and we'll go up...covering the possibility we might LOSE tomorrow then.
I'm coming down to the stadium and then the town without a ticket. Even if I can't get in, I just want to be there if and when it happens. Anybody else going down without a ticket?

I do sense that many fans think victory tomorrow is a foregone conclusion. Easy to understand why, given our respective positions. Being very close to promotion does tend to throw up some weird results now and again though, so I think we need to treat them with a certain degree of respect (or, treat them exactly the same as we do any opposition).
Thankfully, Chris Hughton is not a man for complacency, and I strongly believe he'll have the team focused (and would kick their arses if they weren't). It's inevitable that the players will feel some degree of excitement over and above a "normal" game, and perhaps it might take another half time settling-down sort of team talk to set us on our way, but hopefully he- and the players- will be more objectively calm than the rest of us

Yes but did you see how crap the Barnsley keeper was for Wigan's first two goals
Certainly not me, and probably not Stat Bro either.
The players will. We need to create an atmosphere like we did against Wednesday
Not a party atmosphere, but a 'attack attack attack' atmosphere.Definitely, and even if we do get the right result tomorrow we'll still need them focused on the remaining games, there's a title to fight for.
Hopefully we'll see Murray telling Knocky to calm down after scoring his hat-trick.It's inevitable that the players will feel some degree of excitement over and above a "normal" game, and perhaps it might take another half time settling-down sort of team talk to set us on our way, but hopefully he- and the players- will be more objectively calm than the rest of us
