I think we will win 1-0 tonight like bristol yesterday. Just so nervous though, we can't let money prevail. Eastleigh are a nothing team with no history and are only here because of a cash injection. If there's any justice we will see it through and play bristol in the final

Strangely apprehensive. Had been really confident until I watched the other play off match last night. Thought FGR looked awful and hope we play at our best and play it on the floor. We MUST take our chances tonight!

Agree they stepped off the pace a bit after half time. They did keep Parkin quiet though.

Mr hill on BBC sport saying the pressures all on us. We can handle that cheers and we will show you this evening. Apparently they weren't expecting the playoffs this season. Well when you are invested in and money isn't an object I think you should be winning the league let alone the playoffs

Couldn't be more relaxed, in all honesty. Just concentrating on having what will be another decent awayday.
The comments from their manager are laughable. I often find that managers coming out saying all the pressure is on the other team are usually cacking themselves and trying to divert attention away. Put it this way - it certainly isn't the biggest game in our history, whereas it most definitely is for Eastleigh. We're used to playing in front of (relatively) big crowds, we've had three years in this position now so have some good, recent experience. Lots of calm heads in there now, few Sam Hattons & Aswads.
Nothing to worry about, bar how I'm going to get 30 rolls of double-ply through the gate.

At the moment I'm confident we will get to Wembley. I think the big problem will be the final which will be a lottery as a one off match like that will inevitably be. I'm just hoping that our experience and depth of quality in the squad will see us through. UTM

Off to work shortly, back at teatime to watch the match. I'm a little apprehensive but the well stocked beer fridge should calm the nerves.

Talk about mixed emotions for tonight's match, mood changing every few minutes. Going from nervous, anxious defeatist to buoyant excited expectant back to Hopefull subdued but at time of writing this quietly confident of not losing tonight. So I can only imagine the players heads are puddled also lol. Really really want to be positive and will not lest the past two seasons failure in the playoffs cloud my judgement. Town are playing a very decent Eastleigh team tonight and I respect them and do not underestimate them in any way, we don't perform and we will lose for sure. But hey let's be honest we have a cracking good team this year, the best it's been for a while and I think they will be wary of playing us tonight. I just hope we get the balance right on the pitch between keeping it tight at the back and being positive going forward. Really hope we pull it off with at least a draw. Good luck town and hats off to all that travel. It is great to again be proud of being a gtfc fan. Up the mariners and p!ss on their fish.

FGR showed Rovers too much respect in the first-half. They were nearly dead and buried by HT.
Hope Eastleigh show the same fault-lines against us.
Having beaten them twice they should be very wary of us. Their biggest game ever, and live on TV, must give them a lot of nerves. Hope so anyway.

Your thoughts are the same as mine Jeff, A draw tonight will be a good result, We will beat them at the Park.

We've got a good record against managers called Hill this season. Especially when they come out with balderdash in interviews.
Having a day off to recharge the batteries. Heading for a relaxed frame of mind now. Take the game to them and we will win. But I expect a more cautious approach - unlike the run in when we had nothing to lose.
