Tonight is one of the biggest nights in the modern era for our football club.
Huge huge evening. And we’re not even playing. |  |

No it’s not.
Our three games are as our fate is in our hands.
Leeds dropping points will obviously be helpful, but we’re in control of our own destiny at the moment. |  |

I'm glad none of us are giving the team talks. I can imagine this turning up on the Pinkun later for being tinpot.
It's only huge if QPR get a result. If not, business as usual. |  | | |

It’s only huge if it goes in our favour? Bizarre logic.
It is huge. It is.
If QPR lose, we need 2 wins to take it to the last day of the season in our hands.
If QPR get any kind of result, we can be promoted with 2 wins from 3 games.
It’s enormous. | |

Luckily, promotion is in our hands, regardless of tonight's game. Obviously Leeds not winning would make our journey a little less nervous, but until we play tomorrow, nothing really changes. Leeds will be gutted if we win tomorrow, so let's just try and focus on that for now.
Big game, but more so for Leeds than us. |  | | |

It's a Biggie! And what is modern these days, I'm guessing 04/05 doesn't count anymore 😓 |  | | |

I'm just trying not to get my hopes up in all honesty.
Edit: hit post prematurely.
Not enough jeopardy for me to make it a truly huge night. If results don't go our way (and the odds suggest they are unlikely to do so) we're still in control.
What a bloody evening it'll be if they nab something though! [Post edited 26 Apr 19:28]

It could be, but that doesn't mean it is.
Even if QPR win, tomorrow is the huge night not tonight. | |

We know already that three wins will promote us. Leeds could win 18-0 tonight and that still applies.
Any points dropped from LUFC is a bonus but I'm not expecting anything and trying not to stress over it. I have faith in our lads to do this. For some reason, my confidence has increased over the week (no idea why and that may yet change tomorrow).
I include myself in this but we are in danger of going completely loopy as fans second guessing every eventuality. |  |

I'm the same. I have been telling anybody who asks that we are going up. For some unknown reason, I to have become even more confident of it. | | | |

There's no escaping that needing 2 wins out of 3 would be massively better than needing 3 out of 3 | | | |

It really isn't. Not even close. |  |

We can’t affect the result tonight, so there’s no point being nervous about it. |  |

Obviously, but we are very capable of winning all 3 of our remaining games. If QPR can take some points off them, then all the better, but I really think we are going to do it regardless of Leeds. | | | |

Of course it is.
As it stands, our top 2 chances are 11/10 (47%). If Leeds drop points tonight, it would go to around 4/9. (70%). If Leeds win, we’re looking at 6/4. (40%).
Our promotion chances swing 30% based on tonight’s result. That is anbsolutely enormous. | |

tomorrow night is a biggy. tonight we're just the play things of the gods. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

The joint favorite at the Grand National fell at the 1st, so odds mean nothing. | | | |

Feels like a bit of an exaggeration given we're not playing and not in any way control over it, but I get your point. Anyone thinking that being 1 or 2 points behind Leeds with 2 games in hand isn't significantly more favourable than being 4 points behind is kidding themselves a bit IMO.
We all understand the 'still in our hands' bit, but needing to win 1 of these 2 away games to have it in our own hands going in to the final day feels like advantage Ipswich to me. Needing to win both is probably advantage Leeds. Of course its still a possibility, we would probably go in to both as marginal favourites on paper so on that basis of course we could do it, but it goes without saying having the wiggle room would be hugely valuable. |  | | |

Odds are factors of probability.
The horse was 7/1 favourite. Meaning he has 12.5% chance of winning. Unseating at a jump is factored into that price.
Odds mean a lot. | |

Think you get the point I was making. Millwall were not favorites to beat Leicester, but they did. Just because the odds are in your favor, doesn't mean it will happen.
We all agree QPR taking points off Leeds would be great, but the FACT remains, it is still in our hands regardless of tonight's result. | | | |

I'm with you brother.
This is huge for us IF QPR can get a result.
There's nothing wrong with hoping your rivals lose. It would be a massive help. I have confidence in Town but it would be massive ***IF*** QPR can get a point or more. |  |

The likelihood of events happening is important though. If we were 20 points behind with 7 games in hand, for instance, suggestions of us being in the driving seat would probably feel silly, even if technically correct. I know it's only three games for us, but two of those should be much tighter affairs than some would have us believe. What a start! | | | |
