Playoffs
- Thread starter st06nc2
- Start date
Come on you Reds!
If we make the playoffs I will leave accyweb.
I'm not religious, but it is Sunday. Can someone say a prayer for all of us?
Not at all Exile. Like you they live away but would have stayed on the extra day if we had won at Newport. But I am more concerned who comes and goes for next season. If a miracle happens then great.Oh well, maybe the end-of-season glory hunters will go to Ewood Park instead?
After another season when we've won the respect of other league managers on a shoestring budget, I'll be amazed if they're not already beating a path to John Coleman's door with wads of cash in their back pockets.
I predict we'll be bidding a sad farewell to some of our better players come the end of the season.
The only compensation is that this time, we might actually get compensation.

Why all the doom and gloom? All we need to do is win the last two, and for any six of the seven things listed below to happen …….
Blackpool get 0 points – Notts Cty A, Leyton O H – not very likely
Stevenage get <= 1 – Yeovil A, us – losing at Yeovil lets us in, so not impossible
Carlisle get <= 2/3 – Newport H, Exeter A – quite likely to lose at Exeter, so OK
Wycombe get <= 2/3 – Morecambe A, Cambridge H – 2 draws quite possible
Mansfield get <= 2/3 - Portsmouth H, Crawley A – neither win easy
Colchester get <= 4, Leyton O A, Yeovil H – losing either lets us in
Cambridge get <= 4, Crawley H, Wycombe A – losing either lets us in
Where I’ve put <= 2/3, 3 would need us to have a better GD – not impossible in any of these cases as if we win both we must improve by 2 at least
On Stanley On!!
Well it wasn't that stupid
.... if we'd won today (which I know we didn't, but looked quite feasible at half-time), all it would have needed was another win at Stevenage, and Colchester and Wycombe dropping points at home to Yeovil and Cambridge.What would actually have happened in that situation, of course, is that Colchester would have drawn and Akinfenwa would have scored the winner for Wycombe, probably in injury time after the final whistle at Stevenage had signalled our victory and we'd invaded the pitch

Sorry, mate, lost you!
All I know is that we have survived another season, & I am more than happy with where we are!
we can still have an influence on the play offs next saturday. pay back due.
Can't decide whether to go or not, I'd love to be there to witness their disappointment if they don't make it into the play offs & we've made that happen BUT, if they do get into the top seven not sure I could stomach being there - decisions, decisions??
remember when you pay your entrance money it goes to stevenage f.c. would go if i could get a freebee.
If it was anywhere other than Stevenage I'd go in a heartbeat, even if there's nothing to play for - after all it's a lonnnnnngg summer with no Stanley fix 
but there's still the fact that even if it means handing 20 quid to Stevenage it's the last chance for a while to support our lads on the pitch - oh, flippin heck - wish I could be more decisive (or do I) . . .
