If only it was that easy....oh.... It is.....

Nah... prefer to stay open minded thanks....

How do you get to Wales in a mini?

They beat us 1-0 during a month when we were utterly woeful and other teams were beating us much more convincingly and then they beat us back at their place with two late goals in a game we dominated for an hour... #context And it's not that we want to play them in the playoffs, per se, rather the hope is that they get Norwich in the first game. I'd much rather the two 'big' clubs were out of the way as I reckon we'd stand more chance against Ipswich if we both made it through to the final.

Sadly, I think this is probably the closest to how things will pan out... the words flatter and deceive spring to mind...

Following the Leeds result tonight, which finally snuffed out the faintest of hopes remaining for auto-promotion, I agree with those intimating that we should now look to protect our key players ahead of the play-offs. Whilst I get the converse argument, i.e. that we should continue to play our best players so that we can build up some momentum in the lead up to the play offs, I still think resting/protecting players outweighs the benefits of any such 'momentum' (the latter approach could also backfire if we were to have poor results whilst playing our playoff team...) So, I'd go with something along these lines... McCarthy Bree - Stephens - Bednarek - Meghoma Charles Smallbone - Rothwell Edozie - Dibling - Amo-Ameyaw Subs: Lumley, Manning, KWP, THB, Bragg, Brooks, A.Armstrong, Fraser, Adams Shoot me down!

Has it been a "near 90 point season" because we've been exceptional or because the collective quality of the teams below us has been poorer than usual...? #itsallrelative

Will certainly be 'interesting' if, when we play Leeds in the last game, the result determines who ends up in the playoffs out of them and Ipswich.... Could we envisage a scenario whereby we'd rather see Ipswich than Leeds in the playoffs and therefore 'let' Leeds beat us...? (Caveat: there's a good chance Leeds will beat us anyway, even if we went for it) #ponderingoutloud

Is there a tongue-in-cheek emoji that I can use on future posts of this ilk...?

Sounds like Russ isn't going to risk Downes for this game based on his pre match press conference comments just now.

Russell just confirmed at the pre match press conference that it's not as bad as they feared.... Quad muscle rather than knee injury... Good chance he can be fit for the Euros.

After watching Coventry lose out to a flawed VAR system, I'm suddenly feeling much more relaxed about us not being promoted. You can stick the PL up your arse!

Yep, rings a bell. The system is flawed for marginal decisions. End of!

Indeed. I'm not sure why some people find it difficult to understand this....
