    I expect to see Stockport finishing the job v Os tonight and going on to plan their tactics to be deployed v us @ Wembley

    Callum posted this on another thread showing how poor Wycombe have been against the better teams, so we should have nothing to fear



    Alternatively you could say we underperformed in the first leg

    Another repeat (although I'll be buggered if I can remember where I posted it) ...

    The mini-league of fixtures between the top six:



    Wycombe's record was poo, ours wasn't.

    The only way we aren't doing it, is if our players fold under the lights and the crowd.

    We have the better starting XI, we are the better team, we have a better manager, we are more in form, our record is better against them.

    They're gonna need at least 2 goals to get a draw, cause I can see us scoring 2 at least. 

    Have faith, back the lads.

    Don't underestimate the inability of League One referees! They have the ability to win you games at times.

    Luckily we have a Championship ref, I’m sure he’ll be much better….

    Seems Orient are saving their secret weapon for the Final....

    No Darren Pratley tonight.

    Or DJ.

    Stockport have lost just the once at Edgeley Park in 2025, back in January

    We were the last time to avoid defeat there.

    Of the three games they've lost at home, one was against Leyton Orient, which would be ironic as it was their first defeat of the season, so their first and last defeats of the season could come against the same team.

    Matt Godden is fourth on the list of top scorers across the top four Divisions in 2025

    Would rather Orient win tonight but I think Stockport will be too strong for them.

    Challinor looks like he’s from Royston Vasey

    Just noticed (off the back of the Commentators words), that Challinor has won promotion via. the Play-Offs with each team that he's managed... Apart from Stockport.

    Although thats because this is their first season in them for a while.

    The finish was cracking but the curved run and the pass from the free kick were top notch.

    This is how I'm worried we'll start tomorrow (just minus the early goal I hope), with Wycombe coming at us like this

    Ethan Galbraith has been incredible every time I’ve seen him play - Swansea had a £1m bid turned down for him in January, must be worth 3x that now

    If Orient go up, do we talk about Clare etc. in the same way as May and Dobson? ;)

    What on earth does Sean Clare look like with his two hair bunches?

    It's the sort of thing my grandaughter would roll with.

    Orient look very sharp in the final third.

    No.  Cos he is a dirty anti-player who tried to break Edwards ankle this season already.

    If both ourselves and Orient win their respective semi-final, who would play in their home kit at Wembley? I am guessing it would be whoever finished higher in the league?

    That’s the 7th time in a row they’ve gone 1-0 down. Haven’t lost once as of yet

    I thought it was a coin toss?
    In both our finals against Sunderland we wore our home kit. In 2019 we finished above them but in 1998 they finished above us.

    This is correct. Sheffield Utd wearing home kit for champ play off
