    The day after losing the 1st leg against Huddersfield!

    Thought we'd blown it.

    Didn't think we would be able to turn it around, but a Huddersfield fan I know was confident of them losing.

    :D

    I was so pissed off because Huddersfield really deserved a beating off us that season and up until that point they'd been getting away with it.

    I'll admit I'd given up all hope

    Was angry, upset and so downbeat. Didn't speak to a single person in the minibus back down south after the game.

    based probably as much on hope and optimism if anything.

    Me two. I said we needed to score 1st. Even if it didn't come for a while! Which we did, but then I thought our chance had maybe gone when McPhail fooked it up!!!

    Step up captain Reid and Dantastic :)

    Really? When we were a goal down?

    As it got to Monday though I did start to feel we had a chance, and was saying that in some ways being a goal down was better as we simply had to attack them. There would be no thoughts of how to approach the 2nd leg and trying to hold on as might have been the case taking a 1 goal lead.

    It was an awful journey home wasn't it....

    </p>

    But, despite the depression following the home leg, by the time we got back in the minibus for the away leg I was confident again.</p>

    I don't know if its my mind playing tricks on me, but I don't remember feeling that nervous before the away leg....as if I knew we'd turn it around.</p>

    I think thats the best feeling i've had watching the reds, aside from the Bradford game, and the Cardiff final obviously. I'm jealous watching the league one playoffs because I want that feeling back (although I wouldn't swap it for our place in the Championship!)</p>

    RE: It was an awful journey home wasn't it....

    I was more relaxed by the day of the 2nd leg. I think it was because I knew we weren't capable of sitting back to hold on to a lead and felt that in some ways it was better for us to go into that game being a goal down and our hand forced, so to speak, into just needing to attack, rather than a "do we go for more or do we hold on to what we have" type of mentality that probably affected Huddersfield.

    Mad panic to make sure you got your ticket for the away leg. Massive queues at Oakwell. Surreal moments. The way all the play-offs were going with the away team I still felt quitely confident. We owed Huddersfield a spanking too. When we went there in the league we should have hammered them. Will never forget that night at the Galpharm. It was my favourite game of last seasons promotion.
