Will We Win the Playoffs?

Even if he is he doesn't get in ahead of Coventry, Docherty, Berry, Anderson or Gilbert, and I can't imagine we'd need a 6th central midfielder in the 185
-
And he wouldn’t be up to speed seeing as he hasn’t been in the team for 5 months.0

As a neutral, I’d have you lot as favourites0

I'd argue it's the opposite tbf. Been a key part of a Northampton side who were fighting relegation at one point.JaShea99 said:And he wouldn’t be up to speed seeing as he hasn’t been in the team for 5 months.
He will be match sharp, and I don't think he will have much issue fitting in.
Would be a very welcome back addition, and after watching our other striking options than Godden and TC, I'd have to say Chuks would be as well. At least we can play longball with Chuks.
TT still ahead of Karoy for me.0 -
I don't want to sound overconfident, as Wycombe have some quality players, and some would be welcome here, but I just think we have their number a bit.
I think they've made a poor managerial choice, I think we will have the mental edge after stuffing them twice, and I don't think they'll generate an atmosphere at home like Wrexham did to make a difference like we will.
I think Stockport will just edge past Leyton Orient. Stockport just seem a bit more street wise to me, and have the better overrall squad and manager.
Us and Stockport in the finals I'm predicting, and I do genuinely think it's a coin toss. Hopefully ours on the day. But a very strong play-off competition and whoever goes up, will thoroughly deserve it. No easy wins at Wembley here.2 -

Now I have a feeling we will play TT, win the play offs, with EFL then deciding he shouldn't have been playing and make us stay in league one!fenaddick said:Over on Twitter Peter Varney is saying Terry Taylor is eligible for the play offs. I’m sceptical about that but would be interesting if he is5 -
I made the argument for it being something to manage, as it could be a negative.Uboat said:I’m surprised that some posters think that having more fans there will make the difference. It just doesn’t work like that.Hence why I said Jones is the biggest asset in this play-off promotion shoot out. Imo0 -
I’m not taking anything for granted. Wycombe will be a different team to the one we faced on Easter Monday. We have two very tough matches in front of us, IMO.9

Anyone got a clip of after full time at Wycombe , sure I saw one on here from’X’ or whatever
NJ was definitely 🥩y and blanked (refused to shake hands) one of the Wycombe coaching staff , think it may have been their manager looking at pic of him on that link0 -
In recent years that would definitely have been the case.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

As I mentioned earlier our record in big-attendance home games was poor with performances to match (the 2019 semi-final with Donny may have been a cracking match and atmosphere but we lost the game!) but the last two matches - Northampton on Good Friday and Burton on Saturday - shew that these players can perform in front of a large Charlton crowd and, in Saturday's case, lift themselves after an early setback.
The fans believe in this side now and if we go a goal down they'll get behind the players to lift them ... the more the merrier.3 -
Slim chance we get through against Wycombe. They only have to defend effectively to nullify us and then grab a goal over the two legs.
More importantly i don't think there's any signs our team can handle a big occasion in front of a bigger crowd with a bit of tension. For these reasons i am boycotting these games but i hope everyone has fun and we somehow pull it off.8 -
If it's that easy to beat us, how did we finish 4th in the league?swords_alive said:Slim chance we get through against Wycombe. They only have to defend effectively to nullify us and then grab a goal over the two legs.

Again, not sure you can compare 20,000 at a sunny Valley in a no pressure game with 40,000 at the home of English football in a do or die, winner takes all, loser throws away the effort of the previous 9 months of hard work show down in terms of how it will impact the players.Briston_Addick said:

They have surely learned something over the games they've played us in, and seen us play in. If they haven't or can't, or the occasion gets to them, then all for the good.stoneroses19 said:

Not sure the team that just conceded 8 goals in 3 games will be confident about “shutting up shop”swords_alive said:

If you’re Wycombe Wanderers, surely you have to look at your defensive record prior to the drubbing & tell yourself that in a play-off situation you need to keep it tight & use everything you learnt from that game, and believe you can nick the tie by a goal.I reckon two wars of attrition are coming up & Wycombe will hope Kone can find his early season form & nick a goal.Then we can all berate Golfie with clean sheets may not win titles, but they do win play-offs!3

The same Wycombe we’ve beaten twice.The same Wycombe that have lost their last 3 games.
We’re playing Wycombe Wanderers not PSG!Of course it won’t be easy, but to say we have a slim chance of getting through is just being ridiculously negative.7 -

I can't understand following a football team, then when they get to play off semi final and a potential final at Wembley, your decision is to boycott.6

Thats how I see it. Even score after extra time (let's hope there's been a few goals to keep us interested) then penalties.Braziliance said:I don't want to sound overconfident, as Wycombe have some quality players, and some would be welcome here, but I just think we have their number a bit.

In our 'big crowd' home games this season, Birmingham, Wrexham, Wigan, Huddersfield, Northampton, Burton, we're unbeaten.4 -

I don’t back us on penalties. Don’t back Mannion (and doubt Jones would sub on AMB, who has done alright in previous shoot outs), and I don’t back a few of ours that would probably put themselves forward. Worry about Aneke (missed his last 2), Docherty and TC (missed 1)KingKinsella said:

NJ has peppered the team with players who have experience in the playoffs, their guidance to the younger players will be an important factor.2

Agreed, both Mannion and AMB sent the wrong way for the Northampton and Burton pens, neither give you any confidence they're going to save one. The Burton penalty taker you could see him eyeing up AMB's bottom right corner and that's where he put it, most times it works this way if you keep watching the penalty taker's eyes.NabySarr said:

And as well as you mention about our missed pens it also would rely on reliable takers like Godden not to miss. I agree if any of our games go to pens we're done for.1
