joeyt Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Don't think I've ever seen a team rest players before the playoff as much as these have and completely lose any momentum they've gathered Very strange Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) Rope-a-dope tactics Lull their play off opponents into a false sense of security by getting 7 points from 6 games, then simply press the magical reset button after game 46 has been played and storm into the top flight Genius. Why’s no one ever done this before ? Edited April 21 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Appreciate we're currently sweating over all the probabilities and, maybees, they are too. Perhaps they think Sheff U, more than likely, will enter the play-offs totally gutted on missing out. Coventry, Bristol City and Boro aren't consistent either. Be funny as fuck if they start the first play off game with rusty players tho. Early goal for the opposition, couple of hamstrings, boooooo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLC Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 It's basically a play-off to get relegated next season. What a delight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Mackem at work doesn’t think they will come up, pretty much for the reason of resting their best players, but also doesn’t really want to get promoted because, unless they spend a shit ton of money that they don’t have, they’ll just get relegated by January.

They go up, he's sacked by Christmas, so he might as well do another season or 2 in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 They all hate the PL and complain about the corruption, blood money bribes, VAR, 'ticky tacky' football, forrens and small tinpot clubs that are now light years better than they are. Makes you wonder why they're making such a meal of it and moaning about losing. Surely being relatively good in the second division is about as good as it could possibly be for them?

Ben Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Everyone involved with the club are prepping for the playoffs, I can't help thinking this could blow up in their face. Although TBF it could also work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I'm really intrigued to see how they do in the play-offs, as they've been really bad recently, and the conventional wisdom is that having momentum going into the playoff is important, but the last time someone in 5th or 6th got promoted was in 2018/19, and it's only happened twice in 10 years, with the teams that have just missed out on the automatics, with the better quality, tend to be the ones that go up. They're in a really weird spot, as they're just not convincing, since they beat Oxford at the back end of October, they've only won one game by 2 goals or more, which is actually shocking for the fourth best team, it's a bit like Sheffield United in that their margins are so small, that all it takes is a slight drop in performance and suddenly you're losing every week. Hopefully this run of form leads to them getting rinsed by Bristol City in a few weeks, or if they do go up, proves its build on a bed of sand and they go down like Southampton have this season.

Exiled in Texas Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I hope they stay down as if the come up, and go back down they head back down with a sack full of Marrashute payments. More fun if they don’t have that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
