Love to be wrong but the pressure is on more in the next game than it has been all season. Win we go up, otherwise we go into the playoffs on a massive downer. How much pressure is that?
Loads of clubs who've finished 3rd have gone up and we're far better than the 2 previous attempts.
Middlesbrough are the home side and they also only need a draw in which may make things a bit tougher for them when approaching the game.
Far more pressure on Boro than us that's a fact considering we wasn't expecting to be this high up at the end of the season...you need to look at the whole picture rather than them being 2nd and us being 3rd.

Never mind the pressure.....going up via the play-offs is the best way anyway....isn't it?

Day out at Wembley...flags, clackers, jester hats, half and half scarves, face paint.....the list is endless. What's there not to like?

They need to stop us scoring, we need to win, do you really think that they have more pressure on them?

You not seen how they've been when under pressure recently and we have goals in us.
Yes they expect promotion and have spent a shite load to get there....it will be a pressure cooker at the riverside next week and we need to keep it that way and score goals.
It's not goner be easy,but if any side at the moment can win there it's us and we will give it a bloody good go :)
They will be hot favourites and they will expect to go up

The pressure is immense for both teams,we know what we have to do,they could get caught up 50/50 as how to approach things.....?

Genuinely think that we are good enough to win there in a pressure game (it could go wrong but we may well do it) - my guess just now, Charlton beat Burnley and we win and go up as Champions!

Just go to Boro and let them all get stressed as they will I'm sure....Huge pressure at the riverside may well go in our favour.
:clap2::clap2:

Your quote on 2nd April, just after Burnley game: "Hull have a sniff now as well, but you can forget us bottlers being in the top two."

Well us bottlers are still in with a great shout, no thanks to fickle fans like you sonny!

A very late goal is the only way that I can see us winning this game because as soon as we score we will defend for the rest of the game and Boro have too much quality for us to get away with that IMO.

Whatever happens we have had a great season, let nothing take that thought away.
Agreed. I genuinely think we've got more chance of winning if it's 0-0 at 85 minutes than if it's 1-0 to us at 85 minutes. You just KNOW we won't be able to hold on, we've conceded later goals to much worse opposition than Boro.
