That’s the key game. Win it, which we should, and we can rely on them to make the one cock up we need. If we bottle it we hand it to them.

The way we are playing definitely.

I do think it will take winning 5 out of our last 7 though. Hopefully Leeds and Norwich will both be up by the time we play them

The one big advantage we have is that our top players - Grealish, Mings, McGinn - have all played less games than their play-off counterparts.

McGinn has played 41 games this season, good point though we've a fair few others that should be fresher at the tail end of the season than a lot of players will be.

As well as us Bristol also have to play Boro, Albion, Wednesday and Derby, all competing for a play off place.  It's going to be tough to win all of those.

We've a decent chance, so have a number of other teams it as to be said. I do believe though that if we have all our main players fit that we can dismantle any side in this division.

We've got more than a chance, we're absolutely going up.

Yep Tuesday is an important big game day for us and we're not even playing.

This will be the game in hand for Boro and one of the games in hand for Bristol. On paper, Boro have an easy run in so the best result we can hope for is a draw with both teams dropping 2pts. Bristol then have to come to VP so if we win that then it will effectively cancel out their game in hand.

I can see each of Boro, Bristol and Derby dropping points (even in games they should win), but (and stating the obvious) we just have to keep taking each game as it comes and winning...we don't want to be going in to the Leeds and Norwich games needing wins.

Obviously nobody has a crystal ball to tell if we'll go up, and sure as fk if I start making predictions, I'll jinx us, so gonna keep my gob shut. Just great that we're still in with a good chance at this stage, after it was all looking so abject a few months back.

With Bruce gone and our recent form, compared to same time last season, seems a completely different prospect now. How good is it to see a league table with form guide next to it and see us top 6 with 5 green win bars? Only Norwich have comparable form. And probably our best form of the season.

One game at a time. Take nothing for granted. We can be fantastic but we can also be dire. When we are fantastic, we are as good as any other team.

Seems to be between 8 for the last 2 play-off places. Bristol and Boro with games in hand. 7 games to go, 21 points. Run-in is...…..eventful to say the least

3 games at home - two against teams in promotion mix/automatic promotion, 1 against a team fighting for survival.

4 games away -  two against teams in promotion mix/automatic promotion, 2 against teams fighting for survival

Well if we do it, no-one can say it isn't deserved.
