An early goal for boro must be avoided

Of course.

But only 1 defeat in the last 16 games shows we can overcome whatever happens. 1-0 down? Put Wilson up front

On a serious note can't see Millwall winning. I prefer playing Middlesbrough with nothing to play for than Blackburn who know they have to win to have a chance.

Going for a draw

You or us?

Fun random fact, Middlesbrough were the first team we faced in the season we got relegated from the prem. hopefully they’re the last team in the season we get promoted

Second random fact.

Middlesbrough were the second win of the season for us after Sheffield United

A belting hangover has made me come over all philosophical. Pressure is a privilege as the saying goes, we've just got to enjoy the fact we've been given the chance to feel these nerves. I also feel lucky to be one of a couple of thousand who potentially get to say I was there when we made the play offs and even if we don't, I can applaud the players for the last time of what has been a remarkable season.

I'm confident either Milwall or Sunlun don't win

If we lose we can’t collapse. Even a 2-0 defeat maybe ok but any more and we become more catchable

Yeah I can't see them both winning.

Or maybe that's just heart over head.

1-0 defeat and 1-0 Sunderland win they go above us on goals scored.
It’s that tight between us.

I can see both of them winning their games.

 

[Astute]

I can see both of them winning their games.

Preston 4 wins 3 draws last 7 home games. Millwall home to Blackburn who have to win to have a chance of the playoffs. Blackburn are the best side out of the two. Odds are their luck will change.

The old Cliche of first goal is important has never rang more true than in this game. Get the first and the nerves should just about hold
Again it’s a game for experienced old heads-Fadz-Bidwell-Kelly et al.

And no injuries! They'll be out to kick lumps out of Vik and Gus.

One defeat in 16 games. Upper post

My glass is a bit fuller now. Really do hope we can do it and not have to rely on others

Yep-if we do it I hope it’s not by default or well never hear the end of it from some quarters.

 

[covcity4life]

Muthafuckas I worked it out!!

 

[Happy_Martian]

Okay, I'm ready.

I've got bets on Akpom, Archer, Ramsey, Crooks to score, Boro to win, score a pen and generally run the rule over us *. I'm feeling positively negative about the game tomorrow

To all going tomorrow, safe journey and have a great time. Bring back 1 point at least. If it's all 3, we don't mind

* Note to anyone not following my luck with betting or general predictions. Don't moan at me for this post - I am officially crap and anything I pick rarely if ever comes up as a winner. Bets against City are intended to bring good luck to them in a reverse psychology manner.

Can’t say it’s by default after 46 games!

 

[Matt smith]

PUSB

[Matt smith]

I’m absolutely shitting myself

Ramsey's been ruled out for the rest of the season (allegedly) so that's one down!

 

[Briles]

Been fine since last Monday but now I'm feeling it. If we make playoffs I don't think I'll cope. I'm going to sleep terribly.

Yep

 

[Gint11]

I’m going tomorrow and I’m feeling it.

 

[BodicoteSkyBlue]

C’mon City, my birthday tomorrow give me the best present

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Quite calm, what will be will be and we may or may not go to Wembley. Will be proud of them whatever happens.

 

[JAM See]

We will lose tomorrow.
Blackburn will win tomorrow.
Sunderland will win tomorrow.

We will beat Luton in the play-offs.
Middlesbrough will beat Sunderland in the play-offs.

We will beat Middlesbrough at Wembley.

 

[Ashdown]

The ‘ Supercomputer’ says we shall lose tomorrow but still finish 6th….I’d take that now

I fear a late goal to Boro more.

 

[hamil99]

From bottom of the table after 7 games and no wins to where we are is just an incredible achievement. I was praying we would somehow stay up in October!

Looking back at the season now, we've had new ownership, mid term stadium deal sorted, biggest league attendance at the CBS arena, a possible play offs and a best ever finish in the championship since we went down from the prem in 2001.

It's been an incredible season no matter the end result now. Robins is our one true king!

My old man keeps saying that to me, that no matter what happens tomorrow it's been a brilliant season and he's happy.

I wish I was of a similar deposition as right now I'm nervous as fuck and wondering how I'll sleep tonight

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Sending off tomorrow not sure who for
