A fantastic season.

It turned out so much better than I expected.

If it ends at this, I'll still be pleased as punch.

You Reds!

It says a lot when we can afford to rest our best players and coast last 4 games of the season, still finish third and then play a reserve team away from home and still look good

I also remember Birmingham away when we played our reserve team against their first team and were by far the better team on the night

We have come a long long way in a short time - great squad - great management team - and we are not in shedloads of debt like most others

Aye, whatever happens over the next two games, this has been a fantastic season given our position last season, hasn't felt this good since the last time we reached the playoffs.

An awful lot of credit has to go to Billy and the Boys. It's been a magnificent season.

Ive always been proud to be a Red, even in the darkest days, but it's times like this where you can be just that little bit prouder.

The mixture of nerves and excitement will probably ensure I don't sleep well for the next 9 days, and please god, the next 20 days.

YOU REDS!

Billy seriously does deserve an MBE if he takes us up.As heartbreaking as it would be too miss out now,it has been the most postive season in years for us that many of the youngers one won't forget.

Yeah well done, never thought you'd finish where you did but there you go. Now to really finish the season off can someone please kill Savage.

It's been a fantastic season and credit should be given to everyone at the club for giving us much to be proud of.

Everything else from here on is a bonus.

Whatever happens we will all have wonderful memories of this season and it has exceeded all our expecations hugely.

In the car down to Reading my friends and I decided that a top 10 finish would represent fantastic progress and if we were lucky we could just sneak a play-off place like Blackpool have. We have a fantastic chance to make this 100x better though and I think we will.

A superb season; our highest placing for years, with the smallest squad in the division (22 players!) some fantastic prospects, and - for the first time in ages - genuine prospects for the future.

Whether we gain promotion or not, this has been a fantastic season; to finish third behind two teams who came down from the Premier League (with parachute payments) shows how much progress we have made under Billy Davies this year!

Really have enjoyed it, had some enjoyable away days and seen some very good football played at home.

I have always said that in January we did not strengthen our squad, Newcastle and WBA signed 6 or so players, and i think that was a major factor in them gaining automatic promotion, however, we have done extremely well with what we have, and having said that, the players have really gelled and we play a good game, and that is what will take us all the way in my opinion.

If you had said we would end up top 10 come the end of the season, we would have all taken that, so to finish 3rd is an outstanding achievement and one the fans and players / staff should be very proud of, even if we were to stay in this division for next season would be classed as a big improvement on previous seasons.

No matter what happens , we can finally hold our heads up high , altho i wont be able to round here if Blackpool beat us , but Billy has given us back some of our pride . i,ve seen a lot of good teams and a lot of bad teams at the cg over the years . and i would like to thank Billy Davies for giving us a great and definitely an unexpected season. ........................ one last push boys , come on
