This ref is the absolute worst. Forest has numbers, a Swan grabs the jersey of a Forest runner and drags him down and yet calls nothing. 

Oliver Langford - I'll remember this cunts name.

@Stan - Are you listening to BBC Nottingham radio? 

 

Nah I was watching a mixture of Newcastle/Spurs, Burnley/Wolves & the Man City game.

I wouldn't be able to listen to BBC Notingham anyway as not local there.

That's it. 2-2 final. 

Good news for @Bluebird Hewitt as Swans are out of the playoffs. 

Need to get a result against Barnsley to secure the playoff spot. 

They're three points behind us with two games to go, so they aren't out of the running yet. 

However, if we beat Boro next and both Swansea and Millwall fail to win, 6th is ours.

Swansea can still get play-offs? They're only 3 points off Cardiff. Same GD so if Swansea match Cardiff's next result it goes down to the final day.

Not to mention Preston, Bristol, Millwall, and Derby can still get play-offs too, just.

I'd say Swansea and Millwall now. Would be a big ask for anyone else.

Just seen Swansea play Bristol City next as well so that'll rule out one of them, even if it is a draw (and you pick up a point).

You're right. I was simply going off the fact that the commentators on BBC Nottingham were talking about Swans NEEDING to pick up 3 points for fail to make the playoffs. I can only assume they meant for the pressure and not actually mathematically out of the running.

Wow. It's just after lunchtime.

Top v Bottom today and I am feeling the nerves. On the outside this probably looks a banker to most.

The amount of messages and conversations I have had with people since Sunday have mostly consisted of 'You've surely done it now' and 'You got easy games left'.

Firstly, these people underestimate the Championship. It can bite you on the ass at any minute. As someone at last year's Wigan game at home, a game we were 1-0 up in, opposition down to 10 men, never lost when leading a game under Bielsa and Wigan never winning an away game all season to date, to lose 2-1 and see us lose our automatic hopes was crushing beyond any means.

Barnsley are in dire straights. They have to win. These scenarios can sometimes bring the best out of teams and I for one expect a very difficult game today.

Yes, if we win, I think I'd start to believe it. We should get a point from the last two but we absolutely must win today.

We have had to keep being the last team to play after WBA and Brentford and to date, we have handled that pressure well. That's not to say we can keep doing it.

No Kalvin Phillips either today which for anyone that watches us will know how important he is to our system.

Honestly, feel proper nervous and I hope to god we can have enough today. This will no way be like Stoke, this will be a slog.

I wonder if Leeds has almost benefited from playing last the past couple of weeks where WBA has basically dropped the ball and NOT picked up all 3 points in the game, and thus it has almost alleviated the pressure of HAVING to win. 

Good luck today. You pick up 3 points today and you're basically done. Finishing with Derby and Charlton isn't a cake walk, but it's a path that should give you at least a point which is all you'd need if you win today.
