Didn't think it was as high as the crowd we got for the Portsmouth game. It was 30,813 according to the BBC website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 According to a pig fan at work it doesn't matter if they lose in play offs because they'll still be a league above Wednesday next season. Ambitious lot dem blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious lot dem blades. They've all been saying it. When some have warned them about gloating too early about our defeat every reply has been "But we're still a league above and that's what matters" Says it all really.

Tbf, we probably had the more experience on Monday and that did bugger all for us. Very close to call that game though. Forest have been excellent, whilst Dem Blades have really gone back to basics. In fairness, Huddersfield have kept winning and winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smhouston Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 What's happened to their takeover? Gone all quiet or are they waiting to see if they get promoted so prince can get more money? Get your bets on piggies to win play offs. Might chuck more on. I also think experience will do it for them, and being absolutely lucky f****** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest have looked good but I fear they have ran out of steam. United have got their rocky run out of the way and still managed to get in the play offs... Thanks to Boro and Blackburn totally bottling it. They'd lose and still manage to go up a place. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think being at home first will provide them the advantage, it'll probably be 2-1. Looking at our playoff semi - in hindsight, I reckon being at home would've been the better choice for us and I reckon we'd have gone through on that. We looked completely solid at their ground apart from a daft mistake, at least being at home you can go out without thinking you have to reduce a deficit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to see if that has an effect, statistically, on who wins Play-off semi-finals. On paper you'd expect to favour the team that plays the home leg second because they would've finished higher in the league, but we all know that often doesn't happen. I'd like to see the stats though to see if there really is an advantage or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think going into the second leg with something to hold onto helps. Helped us in the two semi finals we were successful in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Rogers Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 It is indeed set up nice for them. They get to play at home first at 3pm on a Saturday. Forest play on a Tuesday night at home. Although our atmosphere was great, I think it would've been even better if we played 3pm Saturday. Fans can get oiled and give it their all without being tired from work in the day or having to go easy because of work the morning after. If the dates are set and playing home second is a 'reward' for finishing higher, then that team's manager should get to pick to play home or away first as the reward instead.
