I’d much rather play at home first and go out to win it - Sunderland tried to do just that last night, I think if we played first we’d have done the business at home - now we’ve mentally got to come back from a deficit with tired legs. Don't Sunderland get tired legs they played in the game as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-owls Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 The play-offs should follow this model. Everyone still has a chance but it’s wrong that a side finishing 6th have exactly the same chance of those finishing third. Game 1 - 5th v 6th Game 2 - 3rd v 4th Game 3 - Loser Game 2 v Winner Game 1 Game 4 - Winner game 2 v Winner Game 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birstall Owl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 The National League playoffs changed recently to the following, would this be a better model? Sky still get the same amount of games to broadcast (4 + Final) Qtr Final 2nd & 3rd - bye 4th vs 7th - 1 leg 5th vs 6th - 1 leg Semi Final 2nd Vs Lowest ranked winner - 1 leg 3rd Vs Highest ranked winner - 1 leg Final SF1 Vs SF2 - 1 Leg So basing this on League 1 and Top 2 still go up playoffs would be like this: Qtr Final MK Dons - Bye Wednesday - Bye Sunderland Vs Oxford Wycombe Vs Plymouth Semi Final MK Dons Vs Lowest ranked winner Wednesday Vs Highest ranked winner Final SF1 Vs SF2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was resistance from the Premier League that brought it to an end. They didn’t want a team finishing 8th in the Championship potentially getting promoted. It would diminish their competition apparently…. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jack Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Football is not determined by bookies. Don't expect it to be easy but if we play like we have been doing at home, then we will be ok Crowd need to stay behind team, whatever happens. Keep the faith and stop searching for negatives. Enjoy the weekend and save those vocal chords for Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 100 percent We don’t travel particularly well (last night was 2nd best home record vs 7th best away record) But nor do Sunderland (Monday is the best home record vs 6th best away record) We need to be non stop loud support on Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF TAZ Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Some of you are saying but if we played at home, and we’re 1-0 up… we’d be confident going there and going to the final THATS EXACTLY WHAT THE THREAD IS ABOUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MF TAZ Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 In short it would be a better prize to play home first for finishing above your opponent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we equalize early on Monday we have up to the 120th minute on home soil to get a winner, in front of 33,000 Wednesdayites. That’s way more preferable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I’m not saying we’re going to win. But we have a superb home record and haven’t we scored the most home goals in the country? Sunderland are a good team. But they’re just another team and their defence, once we got at them, looked just as nervy as ours. It’s fine margins. If Palmer is an inch taller he nods that ball across and Greg’s has a tap in. For all of Sunderland’s possession and chances, it’s still only 1-0 and they could regret that. We need to sort out whatever mentality issue affected us last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
