First leg (whose positive ,&who's negative ?,)

[1966_and_all_that]

Hand on heart just wish we had Grettarson rather than Thornley. That said a rested Jerry & Simms pose a real threat at the other end. Having Anderson back is another massive bonus. Positive.

Thornily got in the way of a certain goal away to Sunderland. He's doing alright.

Crapping it , not sleeping , picking team in my head , the usual stuff
us older ones like me (48) you think we be used to it now , these playoffs lol

 

[LimerickTangerine]

Fancy Oxford tomorrow

Didn't say he isn't just think Gretarson always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

Away form has been good if we get a positive result tomorrow I think we will go through.

 

[bfcfan 1960]

you can never enjoy these games to tense and nervous i dont think theres much between all four teams im a bit concerned if we have to chase the game on friday if we lose the first leg im not convinced were that sort of a team.

Home leg 2nd could be a very big advantage especially if it goes to pens

I just have a picture in my head of how we passed them off the park at their place this season, can we do that again please lads?

Agree, let's not quibble. Big night ahead!

I swing between being optimistic and negative. Positive is when we play away we get decent results this season, so a win there and a cagey home tie with us going through. When I get negative, i think of us winning 2-0 there but then doing another Allerdyce and blowing it at home.
If we come away tomorrow night with a 1-0 loss at the very worst, I'll be optimistic for 2nd leg.

 

[Devonshire]

While most people predict a tight game (and easy to understand why), I’ve got this feeling that one team is just going to click and take their chances winning by at least a couple of goals and making it virtually tie over. I just hope Yates and Simms have their soling boots on

 

[1966_and_all_that]

I'm being hopeful. We can beat them but we can also get beaten by them.

Why would you post that- pure evil, were nervous enough!

 

[andrew_3-2]

I feel pessimistic... I have liked previous years where we’ve been underdogs! No expectation and anything is decent. This year feels like a bit more pressure!

 

[voyeur]

Don't forget, two negatives make a positive.

I've settled on a coping strategy that might work. If we don't win the play offs, we still have a great new owner and a great manager and squad, and a bright future. It won't be like when the Oystons were here, at all. We will keep the core of the squad together and we will give it another bloody good go next season. Which is what it's all about....

 

[ZipperClub]

We'll win tomorrow by at least one goal and Friday night will be a draw. I just think that we have been better set up for away performances this season and generally I've been more confident than at home were we have dropped points from too many winning positions. Oxford are a good side but we are a better team.

 

[Hadley]

Pool to win both legs by the odd goal.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

0-1. What’s up with you ?
