The perfect scenario

[Alph]

Don't matter who we'll get. We stand a pretty good chance v either of them. There's not much between  any of the top sides. 

Lots of fuss around Norwich but every time I've seen them they don't look better or worse than us really. Look like they can deal with a scrappy game better than we can.  They look quite physically powerful. Not better at attacking football than us when we're at it. Not been on TV that much though have they? But they couldn't beat us when we were struggling for form and had injuries. They couldn't beat us after we were dead on our legs after 60mins because of the Tuesday game spent chasing Chelsea players. 

Boro, we had a mare away. Deserved a stuffing. But at home, again out of form and with injuries, the difference really came down to the finishing of rare chances. Bamford with a great finish. Tight game. As solid and cautious as they are they don't do well when they have to chase the game. They're awful at it actually. 

Not saying we should or will win. Just that they have as much to fear from us as we have them. The top 8 haven't got much between them. Chances are we'll have to play Boro and Norwich. 

You can't say "unless we're lucky" etc. Like people are saying "we'll be lucky to make the play offs"

Why is it luck when we're doing something good and not bad luck when we're struggling? 

Over 2 legs it won't come down to luck. And if we can win the semi final then we can win the final. 

Suppose we should just worry about Reading for now.  It's not these good teams that have taken a daft amount of points off us.

We haven't got there yet.

Penalty shootout against 'Boro - Bamford misses and we go through.

Or could that be in the final?

Just remember that any team in the playoffs doesn't actually have to win a game to get promoted.

4 draws will do it (including this Saturday)

unlikely but possible.
