Anyone worried if we finish 3rd/4th? 3 wins against the top 8 this season... Boro on the other hand top that mini 8 team table....
Funny owd league.
Only the teams that aren't in the play-off positions doDon’t fancy playoffs
I would have been worried but last night we beat the leaders of the top 8 table.Anyone worried if we finish 3rd/4th? 3 wins against the top 8 this season... Boro on the other hand top that mini 8 team table....
Funny owd league.
The way I always remember the play offs is that we normally do well against teams that we’ve struggled against in the league and lose to the teams we’ve beaten in the league. This might be bollocks and is not backed up by any form of statistical analysis but that has been my perception of us over the years.
I'm taking this as a fact and i'm going to get really angry now that we haven't got the bollocks for the fight. Albeit with entirely different players, management and over the course of 20 odd years!The way I always remember the play offs is that we normally do well against teams that we’ve struggled against in the league and lose to the teams we’ve beaten in the league.

It’s not exactly worked for us so far!I’d take sixth now if it means we go Wembley Again for a 50-50.
Law of averages
I was interested enough to check this:
1988 - didn't play Bristol City in the League
1997 - lost both league games to Ipswich. Drew both playoff games and won on away goals
beat Palace home and away in league. Lost playoff final
1998 - beat Sunderland home in both league and playoffs and lost both away games
2003 - beat forest at home in both games. Lost in league and drew in playoffs
Won at Wolves and drew with them at home in League. Lost playoff final
2009 - beat Preston home in both league and playoffs and drew both away games.
Lost all 3 games against Burnley
2012 - drew at home to Stevenage and lost away in league: beat them at home and drew away in playoffs
lost at home to Huddersfield in league, beat them away, drew playoff final and lost on pens.
2013 - lost at home to Yeovil but won away in league: reversed these results in playoffs
2015 - beat Swindon at home and lost away in league: lost at home and drew away in playoffs (10 goals conceded in 2 games at Swindon)
Your theory was true for 1997 (one of the reasons I thought we'd win the final was because we'd demolished Palace a month earlier) and partly true in other years.
We won't win the playoffs. We need automatic promotion.
Some serious gamblers logic in thereI thought middlesboro looked a good side last night delighted with it.
Keep our identity between them all in dressing room ( be us ) and I’d take sixth now if it means we go Wembley Again for a 50-50.

We havent beaten any team in the top half away.
