Whatever happens I still feel if we turn up we’ll beat any of the teams left in it but it’s turning up that’s been the problem too often this season and is what’s cost us the automatics. The team owes it us so let’s hope they deliver? 😉

Play Offs

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? 🙂 Or Mike Williamson from MK Dons

I know there’s often a new manager bounce but this would have to be a huge leap surely? 🙂 Or Mike Williamson from MK Dons Well he’s certainly one of those suggested but would he just up and leave a team he’s got into the play offs himself? Maybe he would but to be honest is Barnsley a better job than where he is? Their policy is to buy players cheaply and then sell them on which they’ve already got plans to do again this season with at least Cadden and Kane seemingly on their way. Is rebuilding then starting again really a good option? I’d say if he got MK promoted he’d be in line for a much better job if he waited, or even MK may be a better option longer term anyway? Nothing confirmed again today anyway so not much time to work with the players on a revised system even if a new man does come in before Friday. Let’s just hope nothing changes eh? 😁

New manager bounce should not work really. Every rational thought thinks a settled side of every player knowing thier role should easily do a team of individuals not knowing who's playing. But the chaos of that, the clean slate does often give everyone a boost albeit temporary.
That's where we have failed, when the other team comes to scrap and we've come to exhibit all our talent and nice play.
I don't think there will be too many shocks for us. JDC Jones Santos Toal Williams Thomason Sheehan Maghoma Collins Charles.

Yep,I can’t see the starting eleven being any different to that OM assuming everybody’s fit? Whilst you’re right about a settled side being the stronger on paper it never overcome the chances that something goes wrong. If we have a bad ref it could be a dubious penalty or sending off, both of which we’ve experienced, or the other teams better players suddenly turn it on. They have a few like Connell and Cole with McAtee who could hurt us if we’re not on our game. You’d have to think though that on recent form and upheavel in the camp we should have the least difficult path to the final so let’s be confident that our players will show up and theirs don’t? 😉
