Pretty sure that means if we do make it, we won’t be playing in Red
We finished higher in the League than Leyton Orient, we should be in red
Think it’s based on who made the final first but could be wrong
I've already provided a link to the Sunderland Echo on here, which states that Sunderland will be in their away kit at Wembley because Sheff Utd finished higher - Just depends if the club see it as an "away" game, and so feel contractually obligated to wear the away kit.
Charlton have to beat Wycombe. We can't have a 2-3 result (against Doncaster) or a 0-1 result (against Shrewsbury) at the Valley this time
I keep thinking I've slept through the game and we are already at Wembley reading the comments.
Enjoyed the game tonight and Orient are there despite being 2 nil down in the 1st leg. They dominated the penalties and now CAFC have to play on the front foot and win a League 1 play off home match.
If we do get through, it’s obvious the media will fawn over Orient. The fairytale narrative writes itself — nearly went bust, dropped to non-league, and now battling their way back. Meanwhile, we torpedoed our own Premier League era and have spent the last 15 years mostly bungling around in League One. No one’s going to care about that.

Still have to get the job done, and stats / what happened in the past doesnt have an effect.
But if we don't get to the Final, it'll be the first time we've failed to do so where we've not lost the First Leg.
Was it Keeley who got booked in the shootout? If he had already been on a yellow in the match, how would that have worked out in a shootout scenario? Has it ever happened before?
Happened to Emi Martinez a couple years ago - the yellows from the actual game don’t carry into the shoot out - so you have to be booked twice during the shoot out and three times overall to be sent off
But don't get me started about players being booked for taking their shirt off after scoring a 95th minute winner in the semi, while already on a yellow...🤦♂️

Orient weren't 2 nil down in the first leg. They took the lead, fell behind 2-1 and then equalised for 2-2.
The final will be Kelman's 61st appearance of the season. Not too many players, let alone one on loan, get to play anything like that number. Should we make the final then Campbell, with 53, will have made the most for us.

So decided by the scheduling, don’t be daft.
Daft? I was asking a question. Sky put up a graphic at the end of tonight’s game. Leyton O v Charlton/Wycombe That’s why I asked the question. It looked like the winner of the first tie is the ‘home’ team.
Sounds like colours are based on league position though. Got to make the final of course.
It’s written in the stars for Orient , I mean moody offside goal , rugby tackles unseen fucking east end slaaaags All down side playing them Miracle now needed for us to go up
they’ll just show the last few mins against us and us all celebrating like mad at Brisbane Road to get them up for it .

Sky probably did that because Orient in the Final is a given so you would put the given side out first then the undecided second.
Also, 1998 kit colours were decided by a coin toss, by 2019 it was based on who finished higher which I assume still applies today. Not sure if that also decides who gets to be the home team on the day with the home side of the stadium, home dressing room, home pub & bar venues etc hopefully should we make it that all comes as part of the wearing the home kit but got a feeling that may have been decided by a coin toss in 2019.

Convinced a play off final loss incoming
Worth remembering that they’d not have got away with those things in the final as there’s VAR

Just watched the Orient highlights. Stockport should have had at least one penalty which was blatant. What with the offside in the first leg, Orient have definitely had the luck of the decisions. But then Stockport had plenty of good chances in both games and it shouldn't have got to penalties.

Good - let then fawn.

I believe it's decided by final league position. So either us or Wycombe would have first choice colours.

Nope - league position.
They took the lead, fell behind 2-1 and then equalised for 2-2.

COYR!
Who knows if we even get there, if Wycombe rough us up again tomorrow.

Another 46 games next season (potentially 49) or, beat two teams we have already beaten twice.
I don't particularly rate either team, and to a man, we are better. More confident about these play-offs than I was last time round.
Come on Charlton, let's get back up the leagues.
