Bulldog Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Amazing how similar we both are Home & Away. We pipped them to the top of the Home one after yesterday's result. Edited May 1, 2022 by Bulldog 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Kidneys Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 That away form (especially against bottom half of the table clubs) really ruined our chance of automatic. If we could have just nailed some of the poorer teams away from home we'd be up already. Bloody Gills, Lincs, Shrews, Morecambe etc. So frustrating. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the season was another month longer I’d fancy our chances. Since January we’ve hit our stride, sadly too many points thrown away in the first few months. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could argue that, at a time when a team of freebies and loanees were gelling and the defence was decimated by injuries, those draws at Cambridge, Cheltenham, and at home to Lincoln, Shrewsbury etc gave us the vital points that put us in the play offs instead of just outside. Looking back at our injuries and all the changes last summer, it’s surprising that we’ve lost so few games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhodesToNowhere Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Gonna be a tight 2 games. Hopefully we defend well on Friday and put ‘em away at home on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's very little in it on paper. Our recent injuries I think just tips things in your favour. Broadhead has been massive for us but can't play more than 2 or 3 games on the trot without breaking down and he looks like he's done for the season. We also lost two of our starting defenders in the last week in Winchester and Cirkin which are blows to us. We do have alot of creativity in midfield and I think for us it depends on what Neil comes up with in terms of how he has us set up to try and complement Stewart who will be a lone striker (we literally have no other strikers other than what's in our Academy). Neil has always adapted his team to who we are playing and generally got things spot on. The exception was Rotherham at home when he went a bit nuts and tried to out-Rotherham Rotherham by dropping all of our creative midfielders and tried to stop them playing with the aim of trying to win the game in the last 15-20 minutes when they were tiring. It was a mistake as they were so strong and we got out of jail with a last minute own goal. On the flipside, they didnt create loads and we nearly nicked it 2-1 at the death. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Would love a win or draw but wouldn’t be too fussed if we lose 1-0 because I fancy us to more than turn that around at Hillsborough Just glad we’re playing somebody like Sunderland over two legs instead of tinpot sh!te like MK or Wycombe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onge Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 It's going to penalties isn't it... Good job we have a great record of shootouts at home in the play-offs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve only done it once tbf Although generally our record in shootouts is fairly patchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Sunderland seem to make the same balls ups as we do don't they? On and off the pitch Plus 30k gates at both games and two teams that seem to have the same plusses and negs, ones gonna miss out on the final, and neither set of supporters deserve it.. still hope to f.ook its The Mackems!!
