What’s that all about???
According to quite a few Barnsley fans, Collins lost the dressing room after the Bolton 2-2 game and some were calling for his head at the Blackpool game

I know Keith Hill was sacked between the end of season and start of play offs.
If the players have down tools then I guess it makes sense. Least you have half a chance but it is odd.

To be honest I don’t think it’s going to matter one iota we might still have to beat them so who cares who is in charge COYWM

So we’ve ended up with Barnsley I know form goes out of the window but surely we must be going into these games in better form than last season!!
Barnsley’s record leading up to the first leg reads (from 1st March)
Played 7 Won 1 Drew 2 Lost 4 For 12 Against 14 Points 5 (out of 21) Sacked their manager
Bolton form Played 6 Won 3 Drew 3 Lost 0 For 15 Against 8 Points 12 (out of 18)
There should be absolutely no way we cannot get to the final We can’t mess this up now!!!!! Can we???
I cant see Oxford doing Posh over 2 legs

Well to be fair Rioch it should really be us rather than Derby, even Pompey come to that, going up automatically given the silly points we’ve absolutely thrown away this season but it’s not so the whole squad and management need to have a good look at themselves before the play offs. We all know the pedestrian walking it out crap just costs us whilst the high tempo move it quickly style completely overruns teams at this level. Shooting also pays instead of this incessant passing around the box we just need to work on our composure in those situations which again has cost us by blasting high and wide too regularly. I actually disagree with you on Oxford v Posh rioch, I think Posh are really in and out and also young which could be a problem given the pressure. I don’t feel any fear of facing anybody if we play as we can but sadly for whatever reason we regularly don’t. Let’s just hope this time we do, there’s just nothing to be afraid of and everything to gain so I’m confident this time it will be different.

Sounds like I’m backtracking here W63, I actually typed CAN and predictive text over ruled me with CANT😂😂😂 Posh are not all that but they have some young energetic kids that know how to get around pedestrian defenders

Can we??? I cant see Oxford doing Posh over 2 legs Looking at your stats RTF it should be a foregone conclusion, however, turning stats into results is a completely different matter for the Wanderers. Watching various matches over the season, I'm sure I get as frustrated with all other supporters on here when the "other" team turn up. That is to say, the ones wearing Wanderers shirts, but there the similarity stops!
We've turned in some fantastic results and if that team turn up at the play-offs, then the Championship beckons. I'm way past my playing days but still have the same passion and can still kick and head every ball whilst safely ensconced in my armchair.
Secretly, we may all dream of another great final like that against Reading, moreover, we are more than capable of duplicating that. So, onwards and upwards for the Super Whites!

To be honest chip I’m not sure it will be on Wanderers TV because it’s normally on terrestrial TV but I could be wrong. If it is on Wanderers TV though I can’t see any reason you wouldn’t be able to view it. Either way, have a great trip and comeback safely.

It's usually on Sky but Sky already have Luton v Everton Friday night. Won't be on Wanderers TV for us in the UK but abroad you may still get to pay for it.

I've just booked a flight to arrive in the UK on 18 May. Straight from Luton airport to Wembley.
I hope my confidence proves to be well founded.

Well if it doesn’t o2m I’ll pick you up from Luton and drive you back to the ReeMac and we can both protest outside for Evatt’s removal😬😂 Do t want to add weight and expectation onto Evatt’s shoulders but as my post above regarding form going into these games, if we cannot beat Barnsley we don’t deserve to be in a league above

Looks like the Tykes may have Richie Wellens in place for the play offs, he’s big favourite now with the bookies and clearly things aren’t going well at Orient. I suspect a move back North would appeal to him as well as an immediate free shot at promotion with Barnsley? Would it make any difference and would he be able to adapt their system in just a few days? I know there’s often a new manager bounce but this would have to be a huge leap surely? 🙂
