Play-off opponents

General

A few permutations but it could be summarised thus (apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere):

Beat Stockport and it’s Orient/Reading (home second game)

Otherwise it’s Charlton:
Draw and it’s likely home second game (unless Charlton win 6-0 at home to Burton)
Lose and it’s likely away second game if Charlton win. Home second game if Charlton don’t.

(we could get Stockport if we draw and Charlton win 7-0)

No chance of Stockport I’m afraid mate, long week of travelling for you!

As I point out there is a chance…less than 1% though!

Got any spare rooms :grinning_face:

A few years ago I saw a Preston fan saying he had set up a savings account specifically reserved for the eventuality of them being in the playoffs. Not a bad idea!

I’m not sure it matters who beats us does it?

According to?

from Stevenage

Guess at why Brandon Hanlan is not in the squad today - he’s been recalled to be part of Wycombe’s play-off squad. Live blog for Stevenage v Rotherham United below:

Don’t think it’s overly clear but I deduce from this that Butcher and Hanlan CANNOT play for us in play-offs.

Shame. He hasn’t scored in his last 10 games for Stevenage so would have been ideal to fit in with Dodds ultra negative style!

Agreed it is disappointing, massive feckin’ understatement, agreed.

But

  1. wasn’t feeling too chipper when we lost against our beloved horse Punchers 2-0 at home, St Gareth and Ricard Dobson booed off the pitch. Next Saturday when I went to pay my final respects in Torquay on The English Riviera, South Devon.
    We witnessed The Miracle on a day much like this in May 2014.

  2. Posters have talked about MB’s incredible run and how it was being simultaneously dismantled and for what reason and maybe that’s why we are here where we are.

Laudable ambition to build a club from the youth up.

Our day to day business is professional English Lower League football. The ownership do not have any experience of this and am sure have learnt loads from the feedback.

Women’s, Youth development, scouting, coaching under 10s, all good stuff for future.

There is a well established culture of a players dressing room and if you f#ck with it there are repercussions, read St Martin’s bio for reference.

I’ll take 16/1 about Wycombe if you are offering @Chairboys80

I seem to recall we are still waiting for the goalkeeper we had signed for the Southend playoff final, aren’t we?
