This is where Farke has to earn his money.

We a miles better side than Norwich, heavy favourites to go through.

Even in this form, we should be going through.

Exactly. It’s now a knockout, league campaign is over. Farke now needs a different strategy, bollox to form.

That’s the problem though with Farke. DIFFERENT strategy. Don’t think he does different. Hasn’t all season.

We won't beat Norwich in the 1st leg, as the match is too early for the boys !!

Who the hell decided on a noon kickoff !

Meslier

Roberts Rodon Ampadu Byram

Gray Gruev/ Kamara

Rutter

Gnonto Summerville

Joseph/Piroe

Think they had to cover themselves encase Ipswich finished 3rd and ended up playing bitter rivals Norwich. Half 12 is a crap slot, should be 14:00 or 17:00 or something.

It’s 12.00 noon KO, I believe at Norwich. WBA v Sthmpn is 2.15 pm KO. We then play on Thurs night whereas WBA play Friday night. Once again we get the shortest recovery time, not that I think it will make the slightest difference as the team have run out of ideas and fight.

Just out of curiosity, I’ve looked at the last 6 winners of the playoffs and their form going into them. All of them went into playoffs in good form, few of them unbeaten for a while.

We’re going into them in the worst form of the season, 4 losses in 6. Don’t hold much hope for these, although can’t say any of the teams impress me that much. Southampton looked good yesterday but also have had some poor results recently and didn’t cope well with the pressure either, 5-0 defeat in their biggest game of the season at Leicester.

The 8 day break could do us well as players look shattered, hopefully means we get Bamford and James back.

What you are probably not seeing from the stands is that teams double up on Summerville and then we have nothing. Farke's strategy from the go get is to feed CS, if a team can neutralise him we have nothing else.
I wonder if anyone else saw this in the QPR game, early on, Piroe received the ball in an central position, he had the chance to shoot and he tried to pass it to Summerville. The shot might not have come off but the pass was pointless.

Current form - We get beat over two legs by a team we beat twice and who we're clearly better than.

Playoff history - Overdue a win

At our best - We'll edge Southampton.



Will be slightly positive and say we lose the final the Southampton, but we'll beat West Brom if we get them in the final.

Trying my very best to stay positive in the play offs... I hope our players keep the faith and give it everything they have.

Do think we're the best side in there if we keep it together,

but we've all been here before haven't we
