So how are you feeling about tomorrow?

[catfish]

agree i'm afraid although i will be surprised if we beat forest also.

Same here - I'll treat it as an unexpected bonus if we do.

on the other hand i can see us drawing and burnley turning reading over.....that would be , ahem, nice...!

Really don't understand all this stuff about not being ready to go up. Total nonsense. With the increased parachute payments and FFP there has NEVER been a better time to get promotion to division ONE even if it's only for one season. Sensible financial management under Bloom and the much MALIGNED Barber would ensure stability and success for the next decade and onwards.

Also, would people saying this have said that Palace (or indeed Hull) were READY? I would wager not, but look....

There's no big GAP between the top half of the Championship and the bottom half of the 1st division but the gap will increase with the current financial rules (a blatant attempt to make "top FLIGHT" football a closed shop).

Sneak into the division and anything is possible. "Not ready" to go up is blinkered, old FASHIONED thinking which bears no relation to current football or indeed FACTS.

I really hope we do it but I think Reading are going to win tomorrow (hate Adkins!) and screw it all up.

However, let's smash Forest and see what happens. Bring it on.

and of the nine possible combinations, this is still the most likely in my book (if I'm wrong, I can still claim that I was only selecting one combination out of nine)

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

Confident. Not in the fact that we will get the results required but if it doesn't go our way this year then perhaps next season will be our season. If not then maybe the next. I have waited many years for the club to get back into the top flight so waiting a little longer will not make much difference.

 

[Coxovi]

Slightly nauseous, but excited.

 

[Scoffers]

I expect Reading to win, I think thats the best attitude to take, it we scrape home, so much the better

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Can't.sleep.

were loose

 

[W.C.]

I really can't see Reading throwing it away so am not feeling a lot to be honest. That said, normally I'd be nervous about our own game but I'm not. I leave it in the hands of the gods.

 

[The Truth]

Confident. Today is our day!

 

[Goldstone1976]

After 90 minutes of being unable to get back to sleep, I've decided to get up and start my journey to Nottingham. Guess I'll try and find an early morning cafe open somewhere en route. How am I feeling? Numb, right now...

 

[Icy Gull]

But, and I'll say it, I'm not sure we can win tomorrow.

Yup, I'm expecting us to be outmuscled and Reading to do what they need to.

 

[brighton terra]

I'm feeling very nervous but I genuinely think we're going to do it!

 

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

Bit like much of the season, think we will fall just short, but ok with that. Any better is a bonus.

 

[um bongo molongo]

I've a horrible feeling reading will race in to a 2 or 3 goal lead and make the afternoon a bit of an anticlimax. I think we'll win at forest.

 

[Fungus]

I'm quite optimistic.
