April 22, 20242 yr A new manager bounce is not what we need I reckon they've probably already sounded Duff out

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.

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 😀.

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 🤦♂️)

My big worry is the tie being out of hand after the first leg. 🤦♂️ Said the same to @Biggish Dave at the PV game. Personally I don’t see it as a massive advantage. 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.
April 22, 20242 yr 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?

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 😀

Fact is we’re better than any of the others we just have to make sure we turn up and prove it.

Fact is we’re better than any of the others we just have to make sure we turn up and prove it. I agree we are actually much better than the others, Peterborough included. But all that stuff you mention can easily happen again. In fact shit refs and missed chances is the story of the season.
April 23, 20242 yr No one is good on who we could face, for that I’m not bothered who we get. Not suggesting we will win but we can beat any of em.

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.
