sturutter Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 We could go into the last day knowing that a win against the team we don't want to play in the playoffs means we will play against the team we don't want to play in the playoffs. And that we will play them three games in a row. Bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleo Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 No one will want to play us in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Its a good point. If we could engineer it, I would rather play anyone else over 2 legs. Maximise our chances against a team not in form almost as good as us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontCallMeOwlCallYou Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Yea but who do you think we should keep from this squad in the prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturutter Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 More likely, it could be a nice situation where we know that beating them actually AVOIDS them by keeping us 4th or 5th and them 6th. In which case, I think we should rest selectively, and try to beat them (Again, all ahead of ourselves, I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Ideal scenario. We're secure and can play a weakened side. Fulham still need to win. Our weakened side kick lumps out of Fulham and injure their better players. Leeds then finish 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadzilla Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Who do we not want in the playoffs? Reading? They've taken 6 points off us this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturutter Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Another bizarre thought... If we don't win next week, I think we actually want Fulham to WIN? Much better chance of beating a safe Fulham on last day, than getting a point against a Fulham side that needs to win?

KernowOwl Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I hope we do play Fulham in the semis and with the final it would give our players two trips to London cos as we heard this week players wanna play in the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biddy17 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 In these situations I reckon we'd be better off just playing to win seeing how other results pan out and that is that! None of this "acting god" rounduns. Also I thought your post was going to be something like.. "getting pointlessly ahead of ourselves but... next year when we're 2-0 up away at Chelsea, do we bring Nuhiu on with 15 left or FF to scare Cahill even more" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this idea Get Matias sent off after injuring Martin Get McGugan sent off for injuring aluko Get Buckley sent of for injuring Cairney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Why wouldn't we want to play Fulham? They play decent attacking football - we tend to play better against those sides than struggling to break down boring timewasters like Reading.
