The time has come, a must win. A cup final, possibly one of two.

3-0. 

Well done Ipswich and Plymouth, sincere congratulations to both but especially Plymouth who never cracked as I thought they might and how about Ipswich who’s goal difference is bigger than all the goals we scored. Amazing and poor old Wednesday, 93 points so far and still not made it? They must be pig sick and now may have to play Derby in 3 successive matches? Isn’t football strange yet wonderful? 😉

Just congratulated my Plymouth mate, she was proper nice about the Papa John's. Very chuffed for her.

She also created the legendary Orient documentary, and for that every football fan should be happy.

They’re already down as Huddersfield and reading need to play each other.

You’re welcome. 

Not if Huddersfield lose all their 3 games they’re not. Unlikely perhaps, especially with Warnock but could still happen.

Fair enough ❤️

Play offs guaranteed, Peterborough & Derby drop points at home and now the pie eaters have been relegated, what a day to be alive!

Now let's go for it in our last game and secure 5th and give us the best chance of going back to Wembley!

Yeh Plymouth fully deserve to go up so well done to them

Fantastic having Toal back today makes such a difference have round pegs in round holes. Get Rico some time next week and we’re looking healthy. Dempsey and Bradley fantastic again. How often has that been said recently. 
 

play offs regardless of whether it is Derby or Peterborough are 50/50 games. Cannot pick a winner in any of the games. 
 

form goes out the window but you also need form going in to them if that makes any weird sense? On that basis I’d take Weds over Barnsley

No I meant the 4th team in them 

We did it wasn’t pretty but it is the result that matters . Don’t care who we get in the play offs our defence looks strong just need our strikers to hit form. 
Well done Plymouth happy for the green genie !!

The one we will play in the final then

A good day. Played well, no nerves. And my Bolton HT/FT finally came in. Kudos however to the young man above with the 25/1 accy. 

Today was the first day when I heard kachunga was starting I wasn't displeased, he's  gettin some rewards and putting in an effort. Fair play to him. Stood up in adversity. 

Great to see Toal back

Appreciate we're not favourites going into the playoffs BUT,if it gets into a low scoring slug fest we could be quids in. 1-0 the Whites over two legs is realistic. Then we we hit the sexy switch at Wembley.

Nothing to fear, everything to gain. Evatt in our corner. Chances.

Champagne tonight. Mrs scraped her legs smooth in the shower earlier so fireworks over in WN7. Enjoy the night, all.

Kachunga? Says anlot about the new strikers ! Hat trick for Kachunga. 🙏

I'm not going to criticise him again!  All round contribution 100% better than the 3 new strikers.  Pleased for him, he was 5th choice striker following "that" sending off, now I'd be disappointed if he didn't start in the play offs.

Have to agree he puts a shift in just needs the goals his work rate deserves.

If he can claim the goal today (as he clearly did at the time!) that's 3 goals in his last 4 starts (Accy and Wembley the other 2).  Its Charles that's having the goal drought currently.  But we're finishing 5th with very few goals from strikers all season from open play, so what's another 3 games, it doesn't matter who scores but Kachunga contributes far more than the alternatives.

Dion scores goals in clutches so I am hoping in the playoffs he hits form.

Excellent performance.

Never been a big Kachunga fan, but played better recently and today was his best performance so far. His close control is light years better than Charles.
