Oxford, Lincoln and Barnsley fans

[Raptersaurus]

Just been reading all their forums and there is a definite 'wobble' going on with all their fans. Oxford and Barnsley supporters have talked about their sides 'bottling' it, not being good enough and lacking the quality to go on and win the Play Offs whilst Lincoln fans are concerned about all the injuries and suspensions they now have.

Add to that our fans general negativity about our side and you'd have to say if you were Bolton or Peterborough fans you'd fancy yourselves in the Play Offs (realise it could be Derby but they have Carlisle at home on the last day and if you were Bolton you'd be preparing for the Play Offs!).

I don't think it works like that in the play offs. I know Bolton fans who are saying they've "bottled" automatic. Anything can happen.

I’m not sure Peterborough fans will fancy their chances. They have been very erratic of late.

As we know sometimes it’s the team who just sneaks in on the last day goes all the way.

Play-offs are all about who goes in with momentum

We'd need to have won 5 on the bounce. I'd call that momentum.

Still dull, tippey tappy, sideways passing, boring 1-0 momentum though

Think that is becoming less and less the case due to the financial gap between divisions. It’s mostly been the team in third who’ve gone up the last few seasons.

Hopefully we can break that trend if we get in there.



Hopefully

Looking at recent results (not performances), where we've ground out wins whilst not conceding, Oxford, Barnsley & Lincoln fans, with their teams really wobbling, will not want to play us.
Although we're boring & frustrating to watch, we've hit a consistent patch just at the right time.

Still a long way to go.

I must admit I expected 1 result to go for us last night and 1 against. We need quite a few more like that.

Do it though and anything can happen. Deffo more likely than this time yesterday.

I doubt Posh and Notlob fans are feeling confident either. Posh have lost 3 of their last 6 and Notlob have only won 2 out of 6. Posh lost 5-0 on Saturday too, obviously.

Win is a win.

To be fair, despite the last 3 wins being ugly at best and not exactly riveting for us, I’d imagine the confidence around the team will be growing much more, so hopefully that benefits us.

Would take 2 more disgusting 1-0s if it meant we got in

 

[Hazi]

We get there I’d make us favourite being world play off champions.

 

[Seasideforever]

I read the Barnsley board last night and a lot of their fans think they will get beat by us but they will beat Northampton!!

 

[King Billy]

Win is a win.

I wonder if the same people who are outraged by 1-0 wins would be the same if we won the play off final 1-0?
Wouldn’t feel right booing them off the pitch after promotion.

 

[seasideone]

If we get in, we will win them - that’s just the Blackpool way

My hotel is booked

 

[Tango1953]

We will scrape in, Critchley will unleash his 4-3-3 ‘Ode to Holloway’ which the squad have been working on since July 2023 and we’ll blitz our way through the playoffs, leaving a trail of bodies in our wake.

Narrator: Blackpool 0 - 3 Barnsley

 

[Willie Mcgrotty]

Win is a win.

Absolutely

.. and if you think back in every Play Off final we have ever been in, we've never adopted for duly boring tippy tappy football.
