THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR) :: View topic - Who do you want in the playoffs?

Here's a reminder of our results this season against each of those 9 sides:

Crewe - 3-1 loss (A), 3-1 win (H)
Barrow - 2-2 draw (H), 1-0 loss (A)
Crawley - 2-1 loss (A), 2-0 win (H)
Walsall - 0-0 draw (A), 5-0 win (H)
Doncaster - 2-1 win (H), 3-0 loss (A)
Gillingham - 2-1 loss (A), 2-1 win (A)
AFC Wimbledon - 3-1 win (H), 1-0 loss (A)
Harrogate - 1-0 loss (H), away game still to play
Bradford - 4-1 win (H), 4-0 loss (A)

Pretty mixed bag of results there, and we haven't beaten any of those teams twice this season. In fact, the only team we've not lost to at least once on that list is Walsall, which backs up my opinion that they would be the best outcome for us (also got 2 clean sheets, which is a rarity!). The other sides which we have beaten on aggregate over the two games are Crawley and AFC. But, as we've seen so many times before, the playoffs are their own competition and previous form often doesn't count for a lot.

All tough for different reasons. I'd imagine most don't want Donny but that run has to end at some point... doesn't it? Doesn't it? Anyone? Personally I'd like Crewe or Walsall simply because it's close, no other reason Crawley and Doncaster scare me

If we are to get promoted, we will probably have to beat Donnny at some point - is that best over two legs or at Wembley (if we get there!) ?

Id rather meet them at Wembley if I could choose. The lottery of that single game holds more hope for me than our away form. We ship far too many goals away.

Crawley or Walsall in the semis and Barrow in the final. That is the easiest route IMO. But you know we will get Donny in the semis.

Yeah but Crewe, Walsall, Crawley and Barrow (not too sure if Gillingham and Harrogate was as well) were all under he who shall not be named. Whilst yes, they were losses it isn't a patch on who we are now with a different team now both tactically and player wise. Honestly, bar Donny I don't fear anyone else we just need to be mentally prepared. It is who we pick now for the remaining two games. IMO we protect Dean, Gilbey, Payne and Kelly. They are too important to us to get injuries and/or suspensions this late on. I know momentum is everything but I would hate it if we didn't have our strongest squad possible for the play off. This is achievable, but if it isn't then so be it. I would just love a trip to Wembley.

Id rather not have Barrow in the away leg purely for travel reasons…..the rest are reasonably accessible, so I’m not bothered.

Would like Walsall in semis, then Barrow in final. More likely to be Donny in semis. Donny and Crawley worry me. Us vrs Crewe at Wembley could possibly be a good advert for L2 football.
