    Chances of us catching Swansea are very slim, they would have to drop 11 points (12 if you factor in GD really) plus any points we drop, in just 10 games. Can't see it happening.

    Hoping for anything but a Bournemouth win. Also want Cardiff to drop more points as well, can see them finishing above Bournemouth.

    I think Conor will fire Swansea to automatic promotion, but until it becomes mathematically certain, I’ll be hoping they slip up.

    I think Watford are going up in 2nd place. I'd like Swansea in the Playoffs personally so whatever sequence of results allows that to happen is what I'll be hoping for

    Win so they finish 2nd and we make the playoffs.

    If we end up playing them at Wembley and Conor scores the winner...

    I can't even imagine the grief.

    I hope Swansea win them both so we look in a stronger position for the top six and Conor can get another team promoted. I genuinely couldn't take a play off final with Swansea and Hourihane scores them the winner. I would cry and I have been to funerals where I haven't even done that.

    I'm hoping for Swansea wins. We'd need to gain ground on Brentford, Swansea (both have a game in hand on us) and Watford, to have a chance of getting into the top two. I can't see all three of them slipping up to that extent.

    Our game against Reading will be another big one - I can see them slipping away from the play-offs.

    I'm following Valerien's lead, concentrating on our next match and nothing else.

    Swansea to win them both- particularly the Bournemouth game, we can widen the gap between 6th and 7th

    If we get into the Play offs - that is automatic promotion. We won't lose - doesn't matter who we play.

    For me Norwich are up & it's between Watford, Swansea & Brentford for second.

    I'm not that bothered who we meet in the playoffs, if we get there, so I'd rather Cardiff & Bournemouth lose. If we could pick 4 points up from Wycombe & Wednesday we'd have a decent gap then.

    Yeah me too. I'm glad to be looking forward to games in the Championship for what seems the first time in years.

    Rather swansea go up automatic with norwich they look the stronger of the play off rivals from what I have seen. There the team id least want to play over 2 legs.

    I wouldn't want Swansea or Brentford. Swansea have our measure and Brentford owe us one.

    This is exactly why I want Swansea! They think they have our measure but we've underperformed in both those games and are a different proposition right now. We'll be the team everyone in their dressing room wants but I don't think that will be the case for Brentford. They'd be up for it, wary of us, and want to pay us back for the last two away games.

    Swansea wins for me, but the team I'd be most worried about in a play-off would be Boro. U just know if Colin gets to play-offs he's winning them.

    Personally think that in recent games Watford`s style suits us the least - for that reason I`d rather they go up 2nd.

    It's weird with the play-offs. In 2000 I wanted to get Bolton in the Final. I think we'd have beaten them. I had the same feeling in the F.A Cup Semi in 2008. I think we'd have beaten Portsmouth or West Brom in the Semi. Just a shame we got Ipswich in 2000 and Cardiff City in 2008. I'd like Watford or Reading if given the choice.
