Personally, we should worry about no one and if Dave Jones keeps his bottle and the players play to their potential, WE WILL BE GOING UP :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

No we have been defying the stats all season long :lol: I like a good stat or two but stats are there to be beaten.

I think all these stats show is that the play offs are a total lottery.

Looking at the home and away form of both ourselves and Leicester, it just couldn't be much closer (not surprising, as we both finished on 76pts!!) Of concern is Leicesters excellent play off history.

However, we have beaten them twice at CCS and lost narrowly at their place which should give us a psychological advantage at least.

I fear that too many think we're in the final. Both will be tight games, with both squads at full strength. A draw at the Walkers Stadium will be an excellent result ,then it's down to the players and us, the fans, to take us to Wembley.

We need the same atmosphere we created in our home league win against them. Can't wait :ayatollah:

We will beat Leicester 2-0 at Walkers, then 1-0 at CCS.
Beat Blackpool 3-1 in the final.

Interesting, but i thought the play-offs started before 1994, more like 85/86??? I might be wrong.

Yeah, they started as on-offs at Wembley in 1989 and before that they were 2-legged games.

Personally, I like the idea of maybe having 2 go down from the Premiership, 18th in the Prem play off 3rd/4th/5th place in the Championship
