The actual game

[suttonred]

Experience is over-rated - our last two trips to the home of profit show us that.

Yeah that's my point, it doesnt matter they have more actual experience player wise.

Their frontline against our leaky defence worries me. However the form of Byrne, Gladwin, Kasim, Smith going into this fills me with confidence. We have to make the most of our chances when we have them.

It's too close to call.

5-4 to us in normal time

Garner's going for an early bath, I tells ya!

Joking aside, a bit of luck/deserved sending off like that is all it takes.

Grimsby showed that league position and league point means fuck all at Wembley. Yes they lost on pens, but the match was drawn and they looked slightly better than Rovers at times.

I was adding emphasis to your point. FACT.

[suttonred]

Ah I didnt understand FACT FACT

Not sure there has ever been a play off final with there being such an outright underdog.

Part of that is to do with the 10 point gap between us at the end of the season, but that's misleading, we were resting players they were going for autos. We've beaten them once this season with our full strength side, there is no reason we can't do it again.

Yes they are favourites, and rightly so, but not sure the difference between the two sides is that big a gulf.

I also think that deep down, the "actual game" is a big factor in putting people like me off.

The last 2 trips have been bloody brilliant until the game started. The it's become a tiring, early onset hangover, heartbreaking, dull, lifeless waste of time.

I can't face that journey back with my tail between my legs. Again.

I'd rather celebrate in my old mans garden whilst absolutely cunted.

As I said, just make sure you enjoy this bit..

I agree totally, I was just stating that we ARE underdogs and rightly so even though anyone who has seen us play this season knows we can beat them if we play to the best of our ability.

I think this is right. Loads of people paid out a mint to feel shit. Twice. 10,000 of them don't want to take that risk again. Shame, but I kind of see their point. What else would you pay that much for with a 50% chance of misery?

staggered to read how many are writing - well last couple of times I have been to Wembley it wasn`t much fun because we lost --- bloody hell I remember going to game after game when we were on a losing streak destined for the drop - I often questioned what I was doing there but a visit to Wembley no matter what needs to be attended if at possible....surely??

[suttonred]

For the diehard/committed  supporter yes. For the not so committed, no.

[Honkytonk]

I'm going again and we're going to win. Don't care who we're playing, what the form is, or any of it. We are winning.

Simple.

Exactly. Annoyingly this is also exactly how I felt in 2010. Difference is, this time we're right
