Don't fear anyone, none of the others will want to face us after today's results!

I bet the other sides all want to play Palace for obvious reasons.

To score so many today without Ulloa in the side will leave all rivals petrified of facing us, so start showing belief in us guys!!

I would much rather avoid Bolton to be honest

Remember they've got a game in hand away to Milwall. I rekon they might get 4 points from the last 3 games so that could just scrape ahead of Bolton.

I'd much rather play them than Bolton at the moment

Absolutely, let Watford and Bolton go at it. We can finish off Palarse and then take a punt at one of the others

If we lost either in the Semis or the Final to Palace, i simply wouldnt be able to handle that so i want to avoid them at all costs.......id also think that the Met and Sussex Police would agree with that.

Very much this.

If we were to beat them, we would NEVER let them forget it, and the same applies if they were to beat us. Thirty odd years of having that rammed down my throat would be so painful.

The bragging rights are just TOO big.

If we do play Palace, at least Dobbie will be ineligible. Looking at the Football League show last night he was involved in everything

Comes down to whether Cardiff are up for beating Bolton. I guess Bolton will win and have 6 more points - can't see Palace getting 72 points so I expect we will finish 4th and Bolton 5th. Shame as they are the team I least want in the semi, but that looks most probable to me. But what do I know, I didn't think we would score yesterday without Leo!

Play offs are a lottery, form goes out of the window :) We only need one more win and I can see us getting it next week, we were better today and showed a bit more confidence.....

The play offs are not a lottery and form don't go out the window. You honestly think you could beat us, Bolton or Watford with your current form? What's Ollie gonna do sprinkle some special dust on your players that can't be bothered to play for you?

Your clutching at straws I think.

Play off games bring a different sort of pressure, so league form doesn't count for much.
The year we beat West Ham is the classic example, sneaked in 6th on the last day, beat fancied Sunderland over 2 legs, then beat "The academy of football " at Cardiff.
When no one expects you to win, sometimes the un- expected can happen.

( Yes, I'm clutching at straws )

re:scousefan. Were you at the forest away game ? I was standing near a scouser and it sounds weird somebody having a different accent, especially one that has premier league teams in its town. I know youve probably been asked this loads of times but whats the background ? Family from Brighton etc..Just asking :)

We're a hard team to break down, regardless of form - that's a massive plus.

Will we get Palace now? Shame in some ways that we can't play Hull in the semis. I think Watford will overtake them and we would beat them.

Bolton are the form team. We are now top two in the championship form table!

For what it's worth I know neither of us could face losing in the play off's semi against each other and the bragging rights would indeed be immense and last a long long time, but to lose in the final itself both sets of fans would be almost suicidal if we lost at Wembley so I'd much prefer to lose over the two legs! if it has to be that way.


Who knows we might even beat you, I recall how superior Bha were at the Amex but then again you were on top last season as well then

Yeah I know you have new additions to the team this year but its a funny old game , remember not long ago you were all calling for Gus to be sacked :smile:

no we weren't

probably less than 15 % were calling for this and none of these were vocal at games
