If we do our thing then there isn't a side in the division that can live with us, and the other 3 sides that will be in the play-offs know it. We are the side none of them will want to play.

As Leeds far more physical team I’d rest some of the usual starters against them to avoid injuries but then play them v Norwich

And the one thing we can absolutely guarantee vs last season is that Dean Smith will attack every chance he gets. None of this scrape a fucking draw and get through bollocks. The confidence in this side is sky high right now. Every player feels 10 ft tall and what we show of late in this run is that no injury, suspension is a barrier to finding a way to win.

A simply sensational achievement to get into the playoffs with games to spare. God think how bleak things looked on Boxing Day in that game at Swansea

Sure you mean that game as we won?

fuck I was thinking Preston where we were shit yet scraped a draw, writing Swansea because it was the cup game soon after which was an abomination. I'm a mess

For me the lowest ebb was losing at home to Tescos.

[Toronto Villa]

As Leeds far more physical team I’d rest some of the usual starters against then to avoid injuries but then okay them v Norwich

I want us to finish 4th and have that 2nd leg vs the bitters at Villa Park.

There are any number of low ebbs to choose from. Wigan away was a fucking disaster.

Indeed. We're the form side in the league, by quite a margin. If you were a fan of any other side in the play-off mix, would you fancy playing us? I certainly wouldn't want to be either Sheff Utd or Leeds, knowing that missing out on that second spot means potentially having to get past us. Much like Fulham last year (who had a run not disimilar to our own current one), we'll be the ones carrying serious form into the play-offs.

Last season we made the play off final hoped we could keep it tight then Nick a win. This season if we make the final we could turn up and actually try to win it. Totally alien I know but that's how you win games.

Huge decisions coming up for Smith. Do you go for it the last 2 games and try and overhaul Olbiyon?
Or use the next few games to protect players and prepare for the play offs?

[Lastfootstamper]

Go for it, don't let up. We kind of did a bit last year, and we ended up scoring 1 goal in four and a half hours of football. Let's go up all guns blazing, it's what we do best these days.

The boggies have Rotherham to play. We won’t catch them.

Attackl, Attack, Attack

[KRS]

Dean will know whether or not to push chasing Baggies before we play Leeds as they play Rotherham the day before. Baggies could only get a draw against Reading today, but if they beat Rotherham then he may as well take the opportunity to rest a few against Leeds; however Baggies have a tough game away at Derby on last game of the season so we'd need to beat both Leeds and Norwich to finish above them.
