The Play Offs

[kieran_vale]

Obviously can understand the celebrations last night given what happened but are they a bit too much given there is a final to come ?

You're not going to stop it now as it's pretty much the norm especially if the home team wins. Certainly the last five years or so it's been the case that people do it. Would also say even if Sky won't ever endorse it they love it for the visuals.

Was quite pleasantly surprised when Plymouth won the title at VP and didn't go on at the end as that probably wouldn't have been well received.

Why wouldn't it have been well received? I didn't think you had any problem with them winning the title.

Oh if we’d clinched survival at Forest Green rather than at home, we’d still have been on the pitch.

Edit: I’m not such a fan of it for avoiding relegation unless it’s something of a great escape.

Do agree, I think it’s a bit tinpot if it’s not going up/staying up on the last day. Although ours was more understandable given how the game played out and the scale of the comeback.

 

[BarrieOwl]

I did say that the league was generally poor....just saying.

Made weaker by sides like Vale

It's true. We were very poor last season. Alongside the vast majority of the league.

I hope you get promoted next weekend.

It would have probably been ok in the end I think as it all had that similar feel to it to the game at your place end of last season (all be it without us securing a play off spot!). It was a really relaxed home crowd.

The worry would have been any fall out from them getting on the pitch following the Swindon scenes (a year ago yesterday).

Herbie Kane looks a real player to me, give him time on the ball and he looks the sort to make things happen. Think they made the right call getting Norwood on, just a big shithouse but ideal for the situation.

Bolton been improved but at some point they need to make the keeper at least have to work.

He's so effective at this level, under Karl Robinson we decided that we didn't need to utilise him in a creative way and instead as a stopper in a holding midfield role where he was completely ineffective and out of his depth.

Ridiculous.

Oh no, we won't be joined by Salford next season.

I'm devastated

Dark days for Wankashire in the the EFL this season - Burnley aside. Blackpool, Dale, Accy & Morecambe relegated. Wigan relegated and awarded a points deduction for next season already. Plucky underdogs Bolton and Salford ousted from the playoffs. Fleetwood’s chairman getting done for fraud. Hard times for the country’s second-worst county.

I nearly got my ear chewed off by one of my Manc work colleagues for once saying Manchester was in Lancashire. Very pointedly said it was Greater Manchester. Which basically leaves you with a trophy nobody else wants.

Congratulations on ignoring the EFL stipulation.

Of course, London won League Two. Which is why you’ll be seeing us again next season. Because you lost to Barnsley.

Apart from Lancashire County Cricket Club play in Manchester

Papa Johns lol

Behave !!.......One Devon man has three Fa cup Winners medals....won them in 1923,26,29

Did not look that far down

 

[TractorBoys]

Both Barnsley and Bolton were piss-poor, as expected. It was always impossible to live up to the other PO semi-final, but this was shocking and proved just how large the gap is between them and the top three.

Wednesday will beat Barnsley comfortably for me.

With all your £20m+ players, I have to say I thought your lot were utterly shite the other day. A far cry from the side who gave us a game at our place back in August.

I wholeheartedly endorse this list.

I love living in Gloucestershire. I mean, ok, I've lived nowhere else, but why would I want to?

 

[denzel ecfc]

North Essex is pretty nice. South Essex is close to London.
There's a lot worse.
Lancs has the Forest of Bowland, Morecambe Bay, vibrant cities, etc.
Not sure why Northants is so high, but its all about opinions I guess lol
