The Run In Fixtures

Worry about that if we get there. The fact Brighton won 6-1 is great for them, but it means fuck all in the play offs.

Why on earth would you assume they're going to lose? Both teams are going for the playoffs so I would assume they'll both win.
The match on the final day will be the decider but it's a good bet that one team or the other will get 6 points more.
So we have to win at Cardiff to be sure.

Leicesters next game is automatic promotion chasing Watford, point at best for Leicester.

Forest are back to their woeful self and new managers luck has run out for them, millwall will beat them.

Leicester playing Forest is not necessarily a good thing, if Forest and/or Leicester win next weekend and we don't away to Cardiff then the play offs will be out of our hands come the last game of the season.

I just hope that with Cardiff having nothing to play for that they will be giving a game to fringe players and not that arsed about the game.

We hope they'll drop points but I'm just saying we can't bank on it, especially as they have such a huge incentive to win. The only way to be certain of a playoff place is for us to win both remaining games. Mathematically, a draw at Cardiff isn't good enough.

The other thing to consider is that Leicester have a massively superior GD to us so even if they only get a draw at home to Watford and we lose at Cardiff, they can overtake us.

I just cannot see us winning at Cardiff. Apart from the fact our away form is woeful, Cardiff have a great home record. I don't buy this theory they'll take it easy for a minute. The ground will be full and they won't want the presentation of the trophy to be an anti-climax to a home defeat.

Reading a couple of Forest forums over the last half hour it's clear they don't think they're going to do it, goals seem to have dried up for them. I think they'll get a point at Millwall mind. I also think Leicester will get at least a point at home to Watford.

It's just too damn close. But if you'd told me in February that we'd have an exciting end to the season I'd have thought you meant a relegation battle.

Leicester v Watford live on sky this Friday

Should be an interesting watch.

Thank goodness Watford still have 2nd place to go for otherwise I would strongly have fancied a home win.

The Friday night game works in our favour - a Watford victory will give the Hull players a good few hours to worry about winning their game.

Hopefully Watford destroy them.

Watford have lost 3 on the bounce away from home, can't see Leicester making it 4.

Also, if Burnley can get a point away at Cardiff, then so can we if not better. It's easy to forget, but we have beaten them once already this season, and they didn't look that special back then.

This is good stuff, we're the in form team, every other team is pooing it.

Go there with no fear and we will win the game.

I will be shitting myself - it's an away fixture.

How much better it would look now if we got a point at Leicester - we would be 4 ahead of them and 3 ahead of Forest, we would only need to win our last home game to be sure of the play offs.

Just shows how damn tight this league is. Get us out of it!

Surely we are owed one brilliant away performance in a full season?

We will get spanked at Cardiff, 3 or 4 nil. It's all about the other clubs.

I suspect we'll go into the last game level on points with Leicester, but below them on goal difference. It'll come down to whether they can beat Forest on the last day as I expect to beat Blackpool.

I don't think we will get spanked. I think it will be a fairly even game.I think it will depend on what game plan DF has on the day.
