So, instead of seeing the play-offs as some sort of bogey prize, it feels like it has been worked hard for.
I’m hoping the good run of undefeated results under head coach Alex Neil will give the team the edge in these next two games too, starting with Sheffield Wednesday at home at the Stadium of Light on Friday night.
I don’t doubt there are going to be many important moments on the pitch but I can’t explain how important having a huge support there on Friday will help the team.

We all need to do our part and fingers crossed we can finally get this club back on the road to where we all believe it belongs.
Buckle in, once more.
