Do the players want the playoffs?????

TheDuke · May 3, 2014

I'm not sure. Forest, Reading, Blackburn etc are now all off on their hols with family and sunshine.
Our courageous lot (and bless them) have more matches, more stress and if they succeed, probably half of them, or more, will loose their jobs to 'better' players, fit for the Premiership. I know it is a pride/group/team mentality that shines thru... but heck, it's tough to know you have to work harder only to lose your jobs

Is this a joke thread?

Of COURSE they want the play offs.

Grombleton · May 3, 2014

Not sure if fishing...

I think their reactions after Ulloa's goal and at FT answer that question.

backson · May 3, 2014

Yeah, they looked distraught at the end

Well, they are in with a clear shout of playing in a Wembley final, which is more than a lot of players get in their playing careers. If that doesn't motivate them, then they're in the wrong game.

Did you see Wards reaction when he scored. Says it all.

Stupid thread!

The flip side to your argument is that the loanees/out of contract players now have 2, possibly 3 televised games in the shop window!

ozseagull · May 3, 2014

Most of them are out of contract anyway.

But surely a joke thread?!

Fishing, or idiot. In fact if fishing, idiot anyway.

Cracking celebration that. Went with the single fist pump, but switched to the double fist, and then slid on his knees. Text book. Ulloa's was also a fine effort, though a little more out of control.

Top work lads

So you don't think there is the slightest worry in their minds about being discarded? This is most certainly NOT a joke thread, just an observation!

They look pretty GUTTED to me

Players are motivated by money.

More games mean more money - appearance fees etc.

And then there's the Premier League possibility. Should they reach the promised land their wages go up. I'm sure they will many of them have clauses stating pay rises come into effect if they reach the PL. And if they're not good enough and get sold elsewhere, they'll still be expecting more money.

Also, any player who does not relish the chance to play at Wembley shouldn't be playing football full stop.

**** off!

sebtucknott · May 3, 2014

Any professional sports person will believe in their ability. Regardless of what we think each player will believe they're good enough for the premier league.

Even if they are leaving anyway, this is the biggest shop window the championship has.

TSB · May 3, 2014

Andrea's particularly down about having to play extra games.
