Well, our season has all come down to this final game away to Watford.

We're now in ninth position in the Nationwide First Division with 70 points and still in sight of the sixth-place - cut-off point for the play-offs. But, in all honesty, it's pretty much an outside shot at best which depends, not just on us winning, but on two other results going our way.

First and foremost we've got to think about securing our three points. Then we can think about what happens in the other matches.

If we were to get into the play-offs it would be such a major boost to us because, as it stands, our chances are slim. If you were to ask any of the Reading players, we would be about 80 percent certain it wouldn't happen.

That sort of thing doesn't happen really.

We just have to block out all the anticipation surrounding these games and concentrate on our match. The best we can hope for is to take care of the business at Watford - do our job - and then have a look at the other teams.

The last time I was in a situation like this was at Man City. We needed to win against Stoke to avoid relegation but we also needed a few teams to lose but they, in fact, won.

We beat Stoke 5-2 and the only way we were able to win was to not be concerned about how other teams were playing and just deal with our fixture.

Once the whistle blew then we checked the other results. That's the only way to handle these situations. You can't be playing and thinking about whether other teams are losing.

The worst thing that could happen is that other results go our way but we end up drawing. Then we would really be kicking ourselves!

Having said that, I honestly believe once you're in the play-offs, anyone has a chance of winning. A team could finish third and the team in fifth or sixth position could actually end up snagging that last promotion spot. Once play-off slots are decided how many points teams have doesn't matter anymore.

This match against Watford won't be easy. They are pretty much in a settled position (17th) and they can afford to be a bit more relaxed in this final game even though they would want to end on a high. That's makes it difficult and tricky.

They have nothing to lose but we have everything to lose and we can't afford to draw, or worse yet, to lose.

Given the position we are in, we can't go out guns blazing from the start. Perhaps we will be able to do that in the final 15 or 20 minutes. We have to play a normal game and then, if the score is even, we can probably send more players forward and have more of a go in the last 20 minutes.

Yes, there's going to be a lot of hype and pressure on Sunday but I'm pretty good at blocking that stuff out so I won't get caught up. I just want to enjoy the match and the position we're in.

I don't want any negative thoughts like ‘If we don't win this then there's no play-offs' in my head. That kind of thing can affect your performance.

I'd rather look at it like ‘What a game to play in'. It should be a great game. It's these games where the big boys show up and you want to play in them because these are what people remember.

Of course, if things don't work out for us regarding the play-offs, my next commitment is to my country and I will be heading back to Bermuda to link up with the remainder of our World Cup squad.

First, though, my immediate plan is to have a week to ten days' rest because I've been constantly going throughout the season and my hamstrings have been feeling it.

Actually when I came down to play in Bermuda they were tight and I've been nursing them since then. We train every day and it gets physically hard so it would be important to recharge the batteries when the league finishes and make sure I'm ready properly for the World Cup qualifiers.

On a related note, I've heard we lost the three friendlies in Central America. While I cannot comment on the performances down there what I will say is that any international experience is great.

It gives players who have not had this exposure the opportunity to compete in opposition territory, to taste and test playing away from home and see how they fare in those conditions.

There are many challenges in these circumstances but, hopefully, when major games come around - such as the World Cup - that experience will prove invaluable.
