Playoffs.

Great to see Fleetwood only giving us 800 odd tickets for this one, they probably won't even sell out their end!

I dont know whats going on with the ticket allocation, Port Vale were only given were 700 similar to yourselves. Bolton were given 1200 odd when they came down the other month and 1200 has been a figure given for other games when away fans 'can fill' the away end, strange and frankly disappointing

Fleetwoods ground isnt sufficient in showpiece games thats obvious and the other issue is allowing an away team almost as many tickets as home, therefore talking away some of your home advantage.

On the pitch Bradford start favourites, bigger club and more experienced team who will be hoping to take advantage of a massively partisan crowd at home, with only a handful of ours.

When we played Bradford at Highbury they literally could have been 3 or 4 ahead at HT, really good team, yet we won and thats how weve been a lot of times, sometimes outplayed but dogged, finding a way to win. Rosler has been at the heart of that, smart tactically and not afraid to change the plan several times within a game.

I dont think anyone at Fleetwood is expecting to progress or be promoted and thats just how we are but I guess you never know.

Just looked at your squad, it would need a major overhaul, not many players capable of cutting it at this level IMHO.

Think that is what bantamamigo implied and Firthy agreed with him, so do I. In fact I would go as far to say that everyone of us has our eyes firmly open. Impossible for a team to come up to the championship and get to around half way up the division.

I didn't realise we were going up to champions league standard quality, Jesus Christ it's all I keep hearing how much were gonna struggle and no ones up to the championship in our team. Granted our team is no where near the standard of challenging at the top but a few decent signings and it's on a par with many teams in the league a full new team is certainly not required. If reading and Huddersfield can make the playoffs and nearly Leeds too then it ain't that fucking good is it.

i think it'll be too good for us, blademan89. That is if we get up,of course. We'll need major strengthening.

We need to start well tomorrow night in London and ultimately end with us still being in the tie. We were so poor away at Millwall last time that we must not repeat it. We have being doing okay at home recently, but we do not need to be chasing the 2nd leg from the off. Certainly not 2 or 3 goals behind.

Burton managed to stay up. In fairness you were a top 2 team until February you then had a shocking run but have bounced back to be the in form team again. I think you will beat millwall over 2 legs maybe in both legs actually.

 

[Jockney]

at least one thing going for us is that the play-offs seem unusually close to the end of the season this year and you'd imagine we'd be on a high from Sunday. We will need to play a hell of a lot better than we generally have this season to get promoted though. In some ways I'd prefer us to take a 1 goal lead to glanford park than a 2 goal lead because we're notoriously undisciplined when we have to defend an advantage.

I'll go 2-1 to us tomorrow night and 3-1 scunny in the 2nd leg aet.

Fleetwood allocated the end few blocks of the Midland Rd stand, the one along the side of the pitch

Have you seen the bunch of Fleetwood fans on Twitter and Facebook discussing where we have allocated them, only for them to be viewing the stadium guide for ST, James' Park and not Valley Parade.

Hilarious.

It's all you read Championship huge gulf..bla..bla..bla, I regularly go watch some Blackburn Rovers home games also and am yet to see this huge gulf in class.
