Calm as anything.

Was not expecting to reach Playoffs. Can't see us winning playoffs. Anything is a bonus.

The way I look at it is we shouldn’t even be here anyway considering our start to the season, so anything from here on in is a bonus. Love us to get thru to play-offs but if not I’ll look forward to next season

Very relaxed, it's a free hit that's in our own hands. Primary objectives achieved this season with comfortable safety and a memorable FA Cup run.

If it was a last day relegation battle I'd have no fingernails left but this is an opportunity with no risk attached, only reward. Enjoy the ride!

Remarkably chilled. It just feels very different to when we last had a shot for the Championship in 2014.

Just awoken in a sweat from a surreal stressy dream (the game was taking place in a full swimming pool???) where we drew 0-0 and Reading won 1-0 (they scored in the first half).

But yeah, I’m absolutely chill about tomorrow too.

I’m ok about it at the moment, but I’ll be anxious tomorrow. If we do get into the playoffs then it won’t be like last time. Back in 2014 we’d been in the top 3 for most of the season and fell away right at the end, and ended up losing to a team that had finished some way below us. That one really hurt. This time we are the ones making the last-minute push and so anything after Saturday will be a bonus.

I’ve said many times that if we do get to another playoff final then I’m turning my phone off and heading out on my old motorbike for the afternoon. I’ve seen all three final defeats, and if we get to this final it’s likely we’ll be playing Charlton and I don’t think that’ll end well for us.

But yeah, let’s see what happens tomorrow first.

Last-minute tilt or not, this team is better than that team.

Given that making the play-offs is a massive bonus I’m not really that nervous. It’ll be an amazing achievement if we do it but I honestly won’t be devastated if we don’t.

I dreamt we lost and I was so pissed off I switched everything off. Then saw that reading lost 1-0 in the paper the next day. Happy days

Loving the pre internet retro vibes of that.

I was at the Orient game but had access to the Reading score in real time but can't recall how, it wasn't on a mobile or anything? There was some sort of screen somehow. Weird.

I had a dream that Orient had made a last minute surge into the playoffs and then I woke up and I was just on this message board and everyone was moaning as usual.

No pressure on us at all. Won't be that disappointed if we don't make the top 6. Have my doubts if we did that we would get any further after that anyway.

two of which we have already beaten this year, and a third that we would all dearly love to.

Nope. That team was a joy to watch. This one has been far more erratic over the season and despite the occasional flashes of brilliance, weve been more workmanlike than Slade’s team.

Nope,
A joy to watch yes but the squad lacked depth & Quality.
Omly Wolves had a huge budget & this seasons is beating teams with more cash, squads & Crowds.

Now we're in with a shout, lets get it done

The results have been erratic ie the two bad runs because of a dodgy keeper and a defensive injury crisis. Did we even have any injuries in 2014 other than to Jones late on?

The team that I expect to take to the field tomorrow is better IMO.

Anyways, anyone who’s saying they’re chilled and relaxed and it’s a free hit blah blah blah, watch this and tell me you still fell that way.
