Our record against them (fear of them?) added to new manager bounce makes them the main team I'd want to avoid in the semi. Less concerned about them if they get to the final as that would be preferable to Posh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just considering the new manager effect and our poor record v Barnsley. And we did beat Blackpool at home, I'd expect to beat them again, and we couldn't have that ref (or GK howler) again at Blackpool, I'd fancy us for a draw as much as I would at Barnsley. Just hoping for Oxford or Lincoln TBH 😀. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with the way we insist on overthinking everything. Just hoping we go out to blast whoever we play. None of this let's keep it tight for the 2nd half bollocks. Don't see either blackpool or Barnsley will be looking to keep it tight. They'll go all out I reckon. (I do think we are miles better than Barnsley though, don't fear them at all. Blackpool though 🤦♂️) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea which team will turn up in an away game, especially against a top 6 team as we know what tends to happen. Prefer to go away with a lead from the home leg.

Whitesince63 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Crazy decision for me but where’s this new manager bounce going to come from? What serious manager would want to come in at the 11th hour with a squad they don’t know and risk losing out? It would be a miracle if they won and let’s be honest, the Tykes squad isn’t brilliant whoever’s in charge so the odds are considerably stacked against them. I think they’ll wait and bring somebody in after the play offs, assuming they’re in them of course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he's currently sat at home without a job and is probably unlikely to get another gig in the Championship He could join now and get them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing us, we'll drop to 4th and the oranges will somehow be 5th (with Barnsley dropping out as you say). Really is about time we went to Doomfield and won but I just can't see it happening. Best if they just don't get in 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is we’re better than any of the others we just have to make sure we turn up and prove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all that stuff you mention can easily happen again. In fact shit refs and missed chances is the story of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABB If we did get there and it was Blackpool and we did win, on a personal level my thoughts would be with my dad who was at the 53 final but is no longer with us. Sure there would be a bit of dust flying around Wembley. A lot of football to be played before that would happen and I’d rather we avoided them altogether.
