Well that hurt a lot. Did nothing wrong for 80 mins, unlucky deflection, then an absolute screamer. We can hold our heads very, very high. And could be promoted within a week.

Win Tuesday and it is an absolute free for all on Saturday. Anything less and we're probably settling for fifth.

Ipswich and Millwall 80, Boro and us 79, you cannot predict what might happen and the pressure which might play on those sides. Ipswich would have had one win in four, Millwall playing to potentially get to the PL, us in form chasing them down. I'd fancy us to have a chance with a win. But it all depends on Tuesday first. If we had won all of our remaining matches and got to 84, it would have been enough. Fine margins.

Assuming the likelihood that we do end up in the play-offs, odds are it would be Millwall v Wrexham / Hull and us v Boro. You'd again have to fancy our chances, especially if we can get fourth. None of those teams scare me so I do like our odds, and top five is now secure. I just hope this season ends in success after the amazing efforts of the last few months.

My worry is the momentum. The draw hurt us in the league recently and then out of the cup, with a hint of maybe along the way.

That said no one in the play offs worry me either, Millwall have been excellent but man for man we are better.

Thanks to Will Still obviously

What is everyone's score prediction for Saturday? Personally I'm afraid that I just can't see us having enough to win the game as much as I would love to see us do. My prediction is 3-1 to City.

I think we will score but concede 3/4 goals.
I think it will be a good game but City will have too much in their attacking options

Well I was 1 goal out but what a tremendous effort from our team. Every one of them can be proud as I'm sure all the fans are. Hopefully they can finish the league season with 2 wins and hope that other results go our way but even if we have to go through the play offs I'm sure that none of the other teams will want to face us.

Whatever happens I would love to see Tonda and most of this squad stay together. We have the makings of a very decent team.

So we're all aiming for autos now right? Couldn't care less whether Portsmouth stay up now but glad they did us a favour! Think if we win the final four, that pressure does for Ipswich who would need to win their other three.

Delighted for Archer, the whole team looked so assured against a side fighting for their lives and on a five game unbeaten run, especially with the number of changes. Bring on the Swans!

We have clawed back the good magnificently. We need Ipswich to lose 1 more, beat them by two and match them for the rest to do it.

Rather celebrate at Wembley than Preston of course but the guarantee would be nice!

Another great morning feeling after the night before.

Looking at the remaining fixtures - wasn’t it Bristol City who brought our last winning run to an end? Need to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

As you say, hoping for Ipswich to wobble but who would have thought we would be in the conversation for an auto spot?!

Incredible!

Bristol City seem to be one of our bogey teams. But on current form, Ipswich should be the only game we have any concerns about. Though yes, it has to end at some point.

Ipswich have 5 games in 14 days, including three away in a row. Maybe it’ll come full circle as our best mate Nathan does us a favour. Pressure is on them, but it’ll soon flip to us if we win the next two. Amazing how quickly it has turned from can we get into the top six to being contenders for top two.

Also a comment on Millwall. We need them to slip up still. Their run-in is kind but their form isn’t, but there is a scenario where it’s one from four on the final weekend. And we might be in a cup final to boot.
