Our Play Off Record

Not just in finals but all play off games. Am I correct in thinking that since 1987, we’ve played in 14 play off games and only lost 2 in 90 minutes (Leeds away ‘87 and Doncaster at home in 19) ? Even that loss was a win !
Incredible, if so.

Lost to Shrewsbury twice in 2018.
And Swindon beat us in one of the two games in 2010.5 -
Our final record is amazing though!3

Crystal Palace - Both Legs 1996
Swindon - Away Leg 20105 -
Nope cant be right...
We also lost at Swindon in the Semi-Finals, and both legs against Palarse and Shrewsbury.
Our Wembley record is ridiculous though, I guess it helps that when we get there its a result of having finished 3rd / 4th, so we're naturally one of the stronger sides - We've never got there when we've finished 5th / 6th so never been a true underdog like Leyton Orient or Doncaster (had they got there instead of us in 2018/19)

Great work here Alan :-)27

Christ, I need to sober up don’t I !12

Irrespective of some losses along the way, four out of four final victories is one hell of a record. I just wish we could take that record into cup football.2

We're very consistent, in that when we're one of the weaker teams in the playoffs (whether because of poor form or because we weren't that good) - 1996, 2010, 2018 - we crash out in the semis, but when we're one of the stronger teams in the playoffs - 1998, 2019, 2025 - we get through to Wembley and win.
We've never scraped our way to Wembley against the odds, but similarly have never lost in the semis when we were the better team (unlike say Stockport this season).2 -
Might do if we ever reached a final!Stig said:Irrespective on some losses along the way, four out of four final victories is one hell of a record. I just wish we could take that record into cup football.0 -

The only raw deal we've had in the playoffs was Swindon. Palace had a great side and we were still developing. Shrewsbury never felt right anyway. And we won the other four.
One raw deal in seven attempts.2 -
This is the natural balance for why we get nowhere in the cups these days.Stig said:Irrespective on some losses along the way, four out of four final victories is one hell of a record. I just wish we could take that record into cup football.0 -
Strangely 6 of our 10 final/final replay goals have been scored by defenders with only Jim Melrose and Clive Mendonca breaking the pattern1

I would say 2010 is a bit of an exception to that rule, we finished 4th and were one of the better teams that season, only just missing out on automatic promotion with half an hour of the season to gokillerandflash said:We're very consistent, in that when we're one of the weaker teams in the playoffs (whether because of poor form or because we weren't that good) - 1996, 2010, 2018 - we crash out in the semis, but when we're one of the stronger teams in the playoffs - 1998, 2019, 2025 - we get through to Wembley and win.

When is Alan being appointed new club historian?5

I forgot to add the caveat of,”except when we play a team in the semis starting with S”. Swindon, Shrews and Scum.The Red Robin said:When is Alan being appointed new club historian?5 -
We did tail off a bit though, as we had looked good for automatics for the first half of the season, but got overtaken as a very good Norwich got their act together, Leeds hung on and Millwall hit good form.paulsturgess said:

If we had been able to sign BWP a year earlier than we did, I think we would have held on to 2nd, as alongside Burton we had mediocre loan strikers like Mooney and Akpo Sodje.0 -
And in 2018 we had Magennis and Ajose .killerandflash said:

Is the only time Charlton Athletic have played a (South London) rival in a play off?1 -
Well, we've never had a play off against Millwall, and/or Wimbledon, and Gillingham aren't South London (not that we've met them in a play-off either... Are Orient rivals?
The complete list of teams we've met in play-offs is -
Ipswich
Leeds
Crystal Palace
Sunderland
Swindon
Shrewsbury
Doncaster Rovers
Wycombe Wanderers
Leyton Orient1 -

Thanks for posting F82M. I have to say a little bit of sick came up when I saw that.Fortune 82nd Minute said:

I remember the Norwich match towards the end of the season being ridiculous as well, and that being the moment I knew it was Playoffs semis at best. We had at least 4 or 5 clear cut chances and Fraser Forster made an unbelievable save for each one. I still can't believe that we lost that game and it's been 15 years. By the time we were hitting the post in extra time against Swindon I had already accepted that it was going to be one of those seasonskillerandflash said:
