Blackpool or Swansea ?

Sun Apr 11, 2010 8:56 am

If it comes down to a straight fight between these two with 3 games left and 2 pts seperating them, who do you think will make it to the play offs ?

Blackpool fixtures :

Forest HOME
P/boro Away
Brizzle Home


Swansea Fixtures :

Barnsley HOME
Sheff Utd Away
Doncaster HOME


For me I can see Blackpool getting maximum points and the Jacks dropping points in the away game to Sheff Utd, if that's the case then Blackpool will make it on goal difference.

I can see the Jacks dropping points in all those games. I mentioned somewhere that their lack of scoring goals is going to be there downfall. This time of the season you need someone who can get a goal out of nothing. The Jacks dont have that, nowhere close.

Blackpool for me in the play offs.

I will go for Blackpool, one because I am an Ian Holloway fan, two because usually an outsider comes up from no where and third let the Jacks suffer like we did last season. :lol:

I'm gonna throw one in here and say that all three are vulnerable. I really didn't think much of Leicester when they came to us. The Jacks can't buy a goalmand Blackpool just lack that bit of quality. I dont think asny of the three will win any more games this season. It's not impossible for both Bristol and Middlesborough to reach the play offs, they may both yet get 9 points from their 3 remaining games. There will be lots of twists and turns yet :lol: Let's just hope we get at least one victory from our next three games although I would like us to win all three and go into the play offs with a full squad apart from Gavin Rae and in fantastic form :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

So i'm gonna throw this one out there and say the Four play off spots will be

Notts Forest
Cardiff City
Brfistol City
Middlesborough

and it will be heartbrake time for Swansea, Leicester and Blackpool :lol: :lol: :lol:

Aye, only if we can pick up the point required as well :lol:

I'm going with Boro to sneak in and replace us jacks. 6th placed teams always seem to win finals ala Cardiff against QPR. Oddly enough didn't an ex Boro player score the winner for you?
Swansea need points from all 3 and if Sousa keeps picking the useless Pintado up front we won't get anything - we need to be 4-4-2 at home and 4-5-1 away.
It's not our time this year just like it wasn't our time when we played Barnsley in the play off final. That team would have struggled going up with Kenny Jackett.

Kuqi looked far better than Pintado last week.

Why does he get picked Kuqi is no world-beater but pintado is shit.

Play-Off semis’ Nottingham F vs. Blackpool Cardiff vs. Leicester

Final Cardiff vs. Blackpool giving a parallel with our 2003 Play-Off Final in that Ian Holloway will be manager of the opposition team...

I really don't know!

That's the question that is on everyones lips all the time. Pintado offers us absolutely nothing, Kuqi is a hard worker but is not prolific, Beattie has amazing work rate but again not prolific, Trundle - enthusiastic but a spent force, Dobbie - never had a chance which is baffling everyone. There's going to be at least 10 names being shown the door this summer.

Saying that - I wonder how many players Peterborough can hold on to as they looked a decent side and watching them you would never say they were bottom of the table. Scunny were far far worse and so were Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth.

Got to agree with our Jack friend here. If Readig get something out of tomorrows game then I can see them sneaking in. If they do I can see going on to win the playoffs, there's usually a team that comes on a roll from somewhere that often wins.

I'm off to check the odds on Reading :D

Hmm, a tempting 20/1 at Bet365 for Reading promotion. I don't have the faintest idea what my Bet365 details are though, been years since I used the account :(
