Comments on: Play offs here we come! http://nffcblog.com/2007/03/31/play-offs-here-we-come/ The mindless ramblings of a Forest fan half imbued with a probably misguided sense of optimism..

There is a good feeling this time around at Ashton Gate. My personal preference would be for Forest and City to go up, because both clubs are bigger than League 1 and should be competing at the Championship level at least, with Yeovil or Swansea sneaking in via the playoffs for local interest next season. Anyway, I hope we'll be visiting Nottingham next season for a Championship fixture! Dave. We didn’t really choke last year so much as not get going till it was too late.

All groups of football fans have their idiots - I'm just glad that either ours weren't out in force too much (at least not the ones who'll follow up the verbals with violence) in Bristol or it could've gotten nasty... I must admit, I was surprised to hear the Bristol fans singing "the Addams family" at us - I mean, we're a cosmopolitan city, not a hotbed of inbreeding like the South West! (joke ;) ). I'd wish you luck, but of course I wouldn't mean it - City have kind of choked for two seasons now - surely it will be a case of third time lucky?

Sorry you encountered some of our idiots after the game - I guess every club has them. (When I brought my 2 youngsters to Nottingham for the game in the autumn, we were told to "f*ck off back to Bristol, you w*nkers" after the game by a well dressed middle-aged woman, for no apparent reason!) Do you think the game would be better without the name-calling, or is it a vital part of footie? And does everyone think that anyone who isn't from their area is inbred?

But having gone through our sticky patch i still expected us to go on and win there, high expectations maybe?? no, i dont think so, we still have the best team/squad/fans in this division so i reckon we should have high expectations. Having said that, our lot have let me down so many times this season as i said at the top i'm grateful for a point! Still, 3rd and close to 2nd with 6 games to go...it's bloody exciting, isnt it. What footballs all about. well, the way bristol had been going i suppose we should be grateful for a point (a point i would have taken 3 weeks ago).

If they win as few as 3 of their last 6 games, we'll have to win 5 to catch up. Come on you reds at Millwall, and come on Swansea next Saturday (!)

Yeovil will not be an easy team to beat for both table-toppers, nor will be Swansea, Millwall, Tranmere or Blackpool. Have faith!
