I've been saying for awhile that our fate would come down to the last gam of the season, whilst I thought that playoffs would have been secured sooner. I am in no doubt proud of the squad for having acheived this. It's going to be tense, I am sure what we feel in the stands will be multipled for the players themselves. Let's get behind them from the moment they come out of the tunnel and lineup, when Andy announces the squad. Let's make each player feel our support, let them know we are behind the club and encourage them to be our warriros. Anything we can do to take off their pressure, would naturally ease them into the game. I hear, "but they are professionals", but this doesn't mean that important games are not measured differently. I am sure each player wants to perform well, to give their all and we must remember that no matter how the game goes down. I suspect the club will be putting in measures to prevent a pitch invasion just as much as handling any unpleasentaries about the outcome if confirmed about the playoffs. It won't be productive to give any sort of critism, even if we play like a group of school boys or allow the occasion to get on top of us. We are the 12th player, our difference can be felt and I don't care about Bristol Rovers or their form. We have to win our final league game, even if we don't make automatics. That is very, very unlikely at this stage but football is a strange and exciting sport. Control the game in midfield, be alert at the back and just focus on making Rovers' life extreamly difficult by creating chances. Even if we don't perform well, I will clap the squad. Not because I am 'happy clapper' but because I acknowledge this season has been a huge rollercoaster, with some fantastic memories and at the end of the day it's why we support the team. They have done well, more than they haven't.
