How are you feeling about the play-offs now?

Terrified as we don't have a back up plan now, unlike yesterday, so the games are much more stressful I that is possible. But I think we are good enough to do it, just need to stay calm on the pitch and have no bad decisions (by players or officials) and have the luck we deserve

We're loose. We had two very tight games with SW this season, they are one of the better teams seen at the amex this season and rested basically their whole team yesterday, whilst we had to play half a game with 10 men, have 2 key players missing and we have a terrible record at their ground.
Apart from that, I'm positive and believe we have the quality to win.

Football mojo is pretty lowjo. It feels like we've just done the final already and now we have to play another two games to get back to that same final! I can see there being a fair few empty seats for the Wednesday second leg, I hope not but well...

Think we will get to Wembley. Then either beat Hull. but lose to Derby.

I don't think we will do it for some reason even though we should. I just don't feel all that confident.

I just fear the worst case scenario, it worries me that the lads have given everything over the last month in trying to gain automatic promotion.
They need to be wrapped up in cotton wool for a couple of days and get over any niggles and refocus the mind, I'm sure CH will have them right day for Friday night.

On his last warning
It's going to be 0-0 in both legs in the semi. We win on penalties.
The final will also be a 0-0, and again, we win on penalties.

I don't think we'll win, and I don't think we'll lose. I know one of them has to happen, but I don't have any feeling of which I think will happen. I am concerned. Our record against wednesday is terrible at their place, and not that great at home. Our record on sky is pretty crappy too. Our record against the other three play off teams is played 6 won one. Since our run of high scoring games, we seemed to have lost the ability to really put pressure on opposition goalkeepers.
It all points towards failing in the play offs, but it just seems wrong to predict a loss, given our record is also played six lost none, and the team spirit shown suggests a never give up attitude in the team. I wouldn't be surprised if the semi v Wednesday is decided by a penalty shoot out, and if we win that and face derby in the final, that could be, too.

We'll lose to Wednesday unless Stevens has his red rescinded.

Not sure we'll get much of a return over two legs with a starting line-up of Hemed and Baldock up front. That's all I'm saying, tho I could say much more.
Surely James 'paperboy with influenza' Wilson is capable of playing a full ninety minutes by now? Or, and I know this is crazy talk, Kaz? At least give them 45 minutes to rip it up earlydoors.

I honestly have no idea how any of them will pan out. Yesterday was a Psychological blow. If they can get that out of their minds then I would be confident. If they cant then I think it will be a struggle.
Much as we are a decent side, there needs to be 3 or 4 more tweeks to the team to make us a good side with a real ruthless streak
