A season which for me began with a friendly at a very warm Morecambe will end with a League 1 play off final against Swindon Town at the National Stadium in the lovely North West of London.
Given that a couple of weeks ago we had blown a massive chance to gain automatic promotion by failing to beat Colchester, we have earned a second chance to finish the job against a very useful Swindon side.
Grayson deserves a medal for picking the team up from the floor following the desperate events in Essex, winning both games against Chesterfield was no mean feat.
Injuries wise only Gallagher was a doubt following his foot injury in the semi final second leg, but he has been training in the last couple of days so would expect him to play. Would also like to see Kilkenny play as I thought he made a huge difference in the second leg making sure we had more time on the ball than recently.
Swindon have a doubt about Thompson at the back after his hamstring went twang in the chaotic second leg game against the Blades.
Otherwise expect them to have the same side that scraped through in the end, expect Cooper will have worked on their defending although if we put the back line under pressure could be very interesting. The Robins are excellent going forward with lots of pace in the team and should provide a stern test for the Whites.
It could be a very entertaining game whoever copes with the occasion will win, if it is us then good if not it will congratulations to Swindon.
Only down side to the day, is the ridiculous kick off time, we really are interested to see who goes down between Hull and Newcastle and the rail work on the train network, does not make getting to London easy.
Setting off at 9.30am going to be a long day but hopefully successful.
Match report maybe Monday but will probably be asleep for most of the day.
Up the Whites
