    Not me, I think the lads will relish a chance to perform in front of the TV cameras and hopefully sone fans.

    Me because I think the intensity seems to have gone over recent games ,we seem to be running out of steam.
    Hope I,m wrong like.

    Nothing brave about it. Many would have you believe that we’ve far exceeded our limits for this season anyway. What I can’t understand is why some choose to be pessimistic about our chances in the play-offs. It’s all win win for me from now on.

    If we can avoid Bournemouth we have a chance.

    We beat them at their place, but anyway it’s slates wiped clean and each team will be equally difficult to beat, including us

    I personally don't think there's a clear favourite. you only have to look at the points to see how close the teams are. I'm just over the moon finishing top 6. whatever happens from here, it's been a phenomenal season.

    I think we can beat them in a one off but wouldn’t fancy them over two legs.

    Huddersfield are **** though probably the worst side in the league.won,t be playing them.
    To answer your question I did watch them and yes we played well,don,t think they played as well as they did against Bournemouth and Brentford.

    Fair enough, but I feel there isn’t a particular team to fear.

    I would think fans of the other 3 teams will be hoping they drop on a team like barnsley in the playoffs to guarantee their progress :D

    No lack of intensity versus Hudds.

    True but you said about intensity and I thought we had that v huddersfield. I also thought v reading we played really well and should have won had a legit goal chalked off they only had chances due to individual errors. I never expected us to get this far anyway ive seen a few times we were 500-1 for the play offs when val took over so anything else is a bonus.

    Yeah, we don't seem to be performing anywhere near what we have been, but I'd still fancy us against Brentford or Swansea. Bournemouth is a totally different kettle of fish...

    This our highest league placing since my son started coming along with me to Oakwell. August 2003, it was, and he was six years old. I can still remember the look of wonder in his eyes as he gazed around the ground. I knew right there and then that he was hooked for life. We've had some ups and downs since then, but it's been a terrific journey. If this season ends in the play-off semifinals, then so be it. If we lose in the final, well, that's how it goes sometimes. But for my son's sake, and for all the other supporters who have never seen us in the top flight, I'd be over the moon if we went all the way. There's no reason why we can't, all bets are off - and as they used to say on Stingray... Anything can happen in the next 270 minutes. Bring it on!

    It's a long term plan, get all the team on their longer term contracts, build a good nucleus of young players and improve season on season. I think we've done this a season earlier than expected. Regardless of what happens in these play offs l predicted us as the dark horses on here and l think we'll be a top 10 side next year if we don't go up.

    Exciting times ahead for this club now we've all got a bit of patience.

    I’m being a pessimist here, but I’d rather go out to Bornmuff over 2 legs than lose to em in the final... I’d fancy us all day long against the other two, but Bornmuff have hit some form of late. But as we all know it’s a lottery and I’m just chuffed we’ve made it. Fantastic achievement.

    Agree the modus operandi is in place now regardless of what happens this season and personel. When you're doing things right it just clicks.
