East Londoner Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Do wonder if there’s potential to change the play off format to avoid the scenes seen at forest and port vale and have a one off semi at a neutral ground. It’s no coincidence that both penalty shootouts so far have been won by the home side who had a passive advantage (yes i know they earned that over the season) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no coincidence that both penalty shootouts so far have been won by the home side who had a passive advantage (yes i know they earned that over the season) This sounded a bit off to me so I had a little look into the past records and play off semi's that go to pens are basically 50/50 whether or not the home team wins. Vale were 1st and 2nd to miss last night and were given a lifeline by the dreadful technique of the next Swindon player who stepped up. Might be interesting to hear what players would have to say about that but it seems to me that it's fairly random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe misremembering. Would be good if players/management could stop incessant goading of opposing fans, doesn’t excuse some things we’ve seen recently, but also can hardly help (not aimed at Vieira btw). Agreed, Charlie Austin being a prime example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 I see Sunderland have sold 46k tickets for today, impressive numbers, almost as many as the Gas sold in their division 5 play off final a few years back. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Brexiteers triggered! Anyway today’s game… Wycombe have got this. Big strong side that are used to turning over clubs three times their size. They will rise to the occasion and Sunderland will freeze amidst all the expectation and pressure from a fanbase that demand higher level football. I’m backing Wycombe, York and Dorking in today’s playoff finals (come on you DORKS… I really hope that’s their nickname) Edited May 21, 2022 by Wanderingred 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just need to turn up to win Never the case, but really hope they do. Firstly it is ridiculous that a club of their size (& anyone who doesn’t think they’re huge, knows little about football) is in the third tier. Secondly it would mean we don’t have to endure the prehistoric hoofball shite that Wycombe serve up as “football” next season. Plus it will end the Akinfenwa media love in, a bloke who has made a career for the last few years by coming on as a sub in the last 5 minutes & pushing people over. If he wasn’t the size of a bus as a limited lower division player he wouldn’t get any coverage at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Indeed, I’d certainly rather have 3000 Sunderland fans at the gate next season than 450 Wycombe fans… but it’s not happening. Very convinced that Wycombe have got this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 It’s Wycombe for me, probably because I can’t stand Sunderland and Gareth Ainsworth is good fun, in an odd way. To make a perfect day I hope Akinfenwa comes on in the last 5 minutes, pushes a lot of people over, and scores the winner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 I’ve no idea who I want. Sunderland was a great away weekend experience, but I’ve done that. Wycombe would be a new ground for me, might be the only new one next season. Also Wycombe were shafted by cheating Derby, so maybe justice might be done. But yes I would be happy with either, although I hate watching games as a neutral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Exile Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Sunderland are one of the great clubs in English football whilst my impression of Wycombe in the semis was a bunch of anti-football cloggers. Sunderland all the way for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
