    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?
    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.
    Why Sunderland will not be wearing their home kit for Championship play-off final vs Sheffield United

    The EFL bases its play-off final kit decisions on the participating clubs’ finishing positions in the table. As United finished third to Sunderland’s fourth, they are seen as the home side.

    Question is... Would we wear our Away kit if we were to face Stockport, given how we'd be the "away" team and never wear our red kit in that situation.

    Feel like Stockport are slowly beginning to wake up and take control

    If we do get to Wembley I really hope NJ doesn’t decide to play long ball football either of these 2 will play straight through us if we keep giving them the ball

    Cheers. Didn’t know that. I guess they changed the rules since 1998?

    Incidentally, Sunderland have played 4 Wembley playoff finals (Swindon ‘90, Charlton ‘98 and ‘19, Wycombe ‘22) and have worn their home kit only once (against Wycombe)  - and that was the only one they won.

    Orient got lucky with that Stockport break due to the iffy touch

    If we do end up playing Orient in the final, we need to target them from corners, they’re hopeless at defending them as we know very well

    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
    Was unreal last game. Would love either him or Keillor-Dunn. Wouldn't complain if we got them both

    Can’t blame Collymore too much… these two have served up two great games of attacking football. Us & Wycombe served up a steaming dog turd of a match.

    So, do we want an Orient win?

    Woah, Orient header by Kelman off the bar and cleared off the line

    Jesus that should be 0-2!! - If Orient get a two goal lead they may well hold on

    Probably, think Stockport are a better side

    Definitely rather play Stockport at Wembley, they don't have the X factor players that Orient seem to have

    Worth remembering that our game was partly so boring and uneventful because we f**king pulled Wycombe's pants down and gave them a strong pounding just a few weeks ago.

    Even their players post-match acknowledged the 0-4 defeat, and wanted to avoid a repeat.

    Wycombe had also lost three on the trot so needed to stop the "rot"

    We want Stockport so there is no risk we can't wear red. Or do we contractually required to wear yellow because Wembley is 'away'?
