Aye my bad re the four points from six. I don't think we'll start like a house on fire, it usually takes us about 20 minutes to get into the game, re the semis, I'd say that we've won over the two legs because we've executed an excellent and disciplined game plan. Obviously I'd love to be back I'm the premier league, however I won't be crying about it if we fail, we're a young young team, obviously players will leave, but the mantra within the club is to bring young players on and sell for profit. The only positives from the premier league are parachute payments when you're relegated. All I do is take one game at a time. That's it.

Sounds like it'll be two well-drilled sides in the final then as our gameplan down at Ashton Gate was nigh-on perfect and completely nullified Bristol City, exactly as we did with Coventry at the Lane when we beat them 3-1 at the end of March. A lot was made of our poor form at the end of the season but two of those three defeats were against sides at the bottom of the table who bring a completely different challenge.
