GMOwl72 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 For me we now have the situation that Play Offs should be. A straight shoot out between 3rd v 6th (with Reading at home) and 4th v 5th (with Wednesday at home). Play offs should be one game not 2 legs with higher league finisher getting home advantage. Much more exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 It means they now don't expect to win. But they know they still might. More significantly can they handle Hillsborough on a massive night game. Better teams have crumbled.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 It gives us the slight edge, but if we go into the game on Wednesday night with the same professionalism as we did to day, resolute and focussed then I expect to us to win, of course Huddersfield will come and play to their strengths but I think we have a bit more in the tank than they have.

Wager's plan to his players was to attack, press, and score 1 or 2. But they didn't score, they couldn't. The players can see their managers plan didn't work, their confidence lessens. Carlos said "we will sita backa, leta them try to score. Maybe we cana geta one ona the break". Then he said " wea willa win ata homa, ina front of tha massive!" Carlos's plan did work, the players grow in confidence. So what it means is 2-0 to us on Wednesday. Means to them that we are limited in attacking options and have nothing to fear, we have gained no ground and could go either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebneeb Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 We will play higher up and press in numbers at home. It takes much more energy and effort to do that than it does to sit back and watch them pass it about. This is what Carlos meant when he said we were efficient today, whereas they were playing at high tempo. It's what Fulham did against them twice, and we all know how they coped with aggressive opposition getting in the faces of their defenders. The thing I'm concerned about is what we might do if we take the lead. I'd like to really keep going for more goals. I don't want to see us shift back to 2nd gear and sit back. It's hard to put the foot back on the gas after you've taken it off and been deflated. For perspective, imagine how confident you would've been going to the amex last year with it 0-0 rather than 2 up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
