Promotion On The Final Day

Things seem to have worked out perfectly to set up a dramatic final day of the season. After losing to Burnley in such a disappointing way along with many, I thought we had blown our chance of automatic promotion. Birmingham should have things sewn up but look very nervous and find it hard to score goals. Considering we are missing some key players it is hard to believe we still have a chance of going up via second spot.

If fourth placed Reading gets maximum points against Norwich then that will set things up nicely and ensures their match against Birmingham is not a dead rubber for them. The only downside is that would probably be enough to keep the dingles up but you can’t have everything. Reading could then get second place on goal difference assuming we do not get anything at Palace.

Birmingham City is still in the driving seat and if they win it will not matter what we do. We have had more than our fair share of final day disappointment. Relegation from the Premiership was cruel under Dave Bassett and Neil Warnock. It makes you wonder whether it will be our turn to celebrate for a change. Warnock will not want to be seen to be doing us any favours so any win against Palace will have to be earned on merit.

If things do not go our way then anything can happen in the play offs but recent history suggests otherwise. Assuming we reached the final, the concern is how we always seem to freeze on the big occasion. They do not come much bigger than a final match at the new Wembley stadium to decide promotion to the Premiership.
