In the excitement of the past month I'd rather taken my eye off what was happening just below the battle for automatic promotion. Looking at the table this morning, it suddenly looks pretty much done and dusted.
I know football is never predictable but I honestly don't see anyone other than the clubs currently sat 3rd to 6th contesting the play-offs. Brum need one more point - I'd like to think they'll lose at Brighton on Saturday so they need something from Reading in their final game but don't honestly expect that. Blackpool need a win and if they don't manage to beat Burnley they'll do Millwall on the final day. So do Cardiff and they'll get that Saturday against Dirty Leeds. That'll leave Leicester, Hull, Brighton and Middlesboro out in the cold.
Indeed, I suspect when we take the field at the Riverside on Saturday evening, Boro's season will already be over.

Wishful thinking maybe. I just want us to do it. The play-offs would be too tough, lot of very good teams in the mix. Whatever you say about this season it has been far from dull.

The best thing about this season is that we expected nothing more than to establish ourselves as a Championship side and then use that as a springboard for next season. Everything has been a bonus.

I predicted we'd do a Norwich. I'm Nosferatu.
Or is it Nostradamus?

It has been an incredibke season and, quite frankly, I am knackered, so Christ knows how Nige and the players must be feeling.

I remember the 48-49 season. What makes you think we've learned from that?
