Squeaky bum time

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

We will beat peterborough. We do at london road

 

[Triggaaar]

What fantastic insight.

We are playing the team that beat Cardiff home & away beat hull at home and beat Watford at home.

We've also beaten Cardiff & Watford.

And Hull.

I think that the Bolton and Notts Forest games will both end up as draws...........................fingers crossed.

 

[JTR938]

I don't mean it in an arrogant way. I mean we should be brimming with confidence and positivity. We always seem to play well against Posh and tomorrow is a great chance to get 3 points. I certainly don't think it'll be easy, but there's no need for squeaky nervousness either

3 words for your confidence "Barnsley" and "Bristol city"....

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

There are two othe rgames which may decide our destiny. If they are both draws and we sneak out another win we should be almost there. Tough call for Gus.... stick on the strong defensive unit against a team scoring for fun at the mo or twist and go attacking at the second most porous defence in the Champ.

 

[Zebedee]

Obviously Barnes will be back on the bench when he is available, probably instead of Barker.

That's something else to look forward to.

We've also beaten Cardiff & Watford.

And should have been mullered both times, not that I'm complaining.

As it stands we control our own destiny but if we lose tomorrow & bolton and forest both win then our destiny is out of our hands.

Worry about it if it happens. But it won't

From now until the end of the season it's not about who is the best team it's about who can hold their nerve under pressure & perform when it really counts.

We really bottled it at the weekend didn't we?

I don't agree, we deserved to win, especially at Cardiff . We took our chances, they didn't.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

What fantastic insight.

I get the point pottert is making. There has been a lot of chat about a win or a draw, but you could easily see a situation where we lose tonight against an in form team and our rivals win - and once again we'd drop out of the play offs. We could win - we could win well. But we know what the Albion are like this season (I was at Bristol City away - OMG!). Felt like a massive win on Saturday - but everything is so far from clear cut, it's so volatile and so close that it really does feel like squeaky bum time every bloody game.

Personally I think we will draw tomorrow & think Bolton and forest will do the same.

From now until the end of the season it's not about who is the best team it's about who can hold their nerve under pressure & perform when it really counts.

It's about how we do over the remaining 4 matches of the season (Gus thinks we need 2 wins) not specifically this match, which may actually be our most difficult of those remaining. If we lose tonight but win on Saturday I think we'll probably still be in the top 6. Throughout this season I'd have taken more losses if we'd also had more wins - before last Saturday I think many fans would've taken a point from each of Boro and Posh away - in that scenario we're already ahead in points.

Win or lose tonight, the circus will simply move on to the next game.
