royalowlisback Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 You are quite right royal owl A guy I know isn't going sat says he's saving his cash for playoffs. I obviously said but we could still get auto He wasn't having it his mind was made up. A shame really but I think many more have this mindset. I know the players are all professionals - and they are putting in a 'reyt' shift of late, but it must have an effect on the players, playing in either an half empty stadium - or one that is packed to the rafters. We don't want the squad thinking we have accepted 3rd place - bums on seats and a partizan home crowd should help them maintain their current standards... It's easy turning up for the big games - it's when the odds are stacked against us that the players need us most. If the Pigs had lost last week, and we had won - there would be another 5k for this match, have the players let us down that badly (obviously not), or will the supporters that choose not to go (I don't mind ex-pats, those that can't afford it etc) let the players down?

since59owe Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm not so much worried about our results but i don't really see the pigs not getting the 2 wins they need tbh I don't hold out much hope from MK - might play nice football but can't defend - think the pigs will nick that one But i am an ultra-pessimist Depends IMHO if they want us or them in the P/O.

ROKERITE Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I've had a feeling all season that The Blades would trip up at the end and finish third, allowing you to take the second automatic spot. If Sheffield United are pipped then I don't expect them to win the play-offs, I'd fancy Huddersfield Town, whose season seems to have collapsed, to get the tird promotion place. I think there might be a lot fewer given up on automatic this evening. What a heart-strainer Final Score was, both when MK Dons went down to ten men and when Carlisle equalised, but was I jumping out of my seat when your winner went in. Good Luck!

I know it's annoying when people drag up old threads just to prove a point, but please forgive me just this once. I'm not often right but I certainly was this time!

steelowl Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 absolutely all we can do is win, it's possible they can flip it up until mathematical certain -I would never give up they are a choking club where's the I'm a smug barsteward smiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROKERITE Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Quality prediction Rokerite, did you have any money on it? Not on Wednesday, but a little bit on Huddersfield. However, your 2005 Play-Off triumph will always remain my biggest ever betting win. That victory over Hartlepool is a day I'll never forget. Sadly, all that money has long since evaporated. Good Luck next season, one step closer to where The Owls should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG_1984 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Re-reading this thread has just reminded me of how much I (and many others) had given up on automatic after that Colchester game. I'd already started freeing myself up for the play-off games. How wrong we were (thankfully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
