It'll be interesting seeing a historic club back up there again, and there's just something about Bournemouth that I don't like. The financial challenges they might face if they don't go up is an added bonus. I'd rather have forrest out the play offs if we in, them and sheff utd are who I would fancy most to go up out all the teams in the spots at the moment, if they went upto 2nd and sheff utd dropped out and we snook in, that would be ideal situation for me Link to post Share on other sites

RiseAgainst 3,793 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Gelocation restrictions for live sporting events are really irritating. I live in Cumbria so I can't listen to Tees on DAB, and online Tees broadcasts cut off just before kick-off if you're not local. VPNs are national rather than regional, so I can't pretend I'm in a specific part of England and get round them that way. I end up paying to listen to a BBC live event twice - once through the licence fee and then again for a separate audio stream through MFC.co.uk - since I can't always sit down and watch the games (even if I could find a working stream that doesn't bombard me with hover ads and pop-ups, or freeze every two minutes).

expat-acklam 127 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Most of the recent talk has been about Sheffield United and what has to happen to get past them. To be honest I think Luton losing or drawing is a more likely outcome than Sheffield losing. Yes I know they are playing lowly Reading who have been poor most of the season, but Luton are in a bit of a crisis injury wise and also after a 7-0 tanking confidence wise and I don't fully buy into players are already on holiday or have nothing to play for. Further we have a much better goal difference and so a win at PNE and even Luton drawing would still put us ahead of them. Yes we have to win at PNE, goes without saying but the odds of one of two clubs messing up on the final day makes me at least more hopeful. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

As you mentioned, they're cripplied with injury and i doubt reading will be push overs as their squad is actually decent. Danny drinkwater, Lucas joao, tom ince, Baba Rahman, junior holliett, john swift, certainly better than their league position suggests. Also agree that the trope of having nothing to play for is exaggerated. Only need to look to Forest two seasons ago who lost 4-1 on the final day to a 16th place stoke and thus miss out on the playoffs. Additionally, i think being the party poopers for a side looking for playoffs actually gives a side like reading more reason to turn up. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Reading may look like they have a decent squad on paper but 4th from bottom with 86 goals conceded, the league doesn't lie they've been crap, just have to hope they have one good game left inside of them. I'm more concerned about us blowing it, because I think Preston will be up for this infront of their own fans. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
