Re: Play offs
So, realistically, Wimbledon will not catch us, and we cannot finish below 6th. I would expect Bristol Rovers to pick up at least a win and Oxford a point, so 4th not very likely. That leaves us looking at either 5th or 6th, probably against Plymouth, and just waiting to find out if we are home or away first (I wouldn't mind playing at home first, even if it ended as a draw and then they had to open up at Plymouth).
We can now complete our home/away records against possible play-off teams.
Accrington D/W
Oxford L/D (lucky to get a draw away)
Bristol Rovers W/W
Plymouth L/W (unlucky to lose at home)
Wimbledon D/W
Cambridge W/W
Really hoping that Oxford and Accrington go up automatically, as I think we are the best of the rest (injuries, luck, referees, etc. permitting).

Re: Play offs
totally agree. I think the top 7 as it is now is how it will end. I'm happy with anyone but Oxford in the playoffs basically.Pompey Penguin wrote:So, realistically, Wimbledon will not catch us, and we cannot finish below 6th.

I was talking with a Plymouth fan today that thought that Plymouth would be happier playing at home first too as their home record / form isn't very good. Just ask Dagenham for recent evidence I guess
You'd think Bristol would beat Wimbledon over two legs (easily) and then its Brizzle vs Plymouth or Pompey for League 1

Re: Play offs
Sadly, I can see Rovers winning both games (the two bottom teams in the league). Oxford could well fall just short, meaning we could well face them in the final. Mind you, on the plus side, I'd rather face them in a one off at Wembley, than have to play them twice in the semi-final.

Re: Play offs
Do we get better refs for the play-offs? I am sure there are Championship caliber officials who would be better qualified than some of those in the lower reaches.
Do away goals count or would it go to penalties if scores were level, regardless of away goals?

Don't know about the refs, but there is no away goal rule in the FL play-offs.uspompeyfan wrote:Do we get better refs for the play-offs? I am sure there are Championship caliber officials who would be better qualified than some of those in the lower reaches.

2.4 In the Semi-Finals, the first leg shall be of 90 (ninety) minutes duration. If the aggregate scores are level at the end of 90 (ninety) minutes in the second leg, extra time will be played. If the scores remain level at the end of extra time the tie will be determined by the taking of kicks from the penalty mark, in accordance with the Laws of Association Football.

Alters things a little bit as the 0-0 at home in the first leg is no different from any other draw, and (e.g.) the Man City result v. Real Madrid would not look so promising; it rather removes the "just don't concede at home in the first leg" approach. However, it is still true that a home draw is not a bad result and a team shouldn't risk everything just to win the first leg.
Edit: Just noticed that the FL's own rules are wrong! Penaties in shoot-outs are not taken strictly in accordance with the normal laws, other minor rule changes apply.
Re: Play offs
2.6 Use of Goal Line Technology. Where the venue at which a Play Off Semi Final or Final is to be played has a goal line technology system installed that complies with the FIFA requirements for goal line technology, the Executive shall be entitled to determine whether that system is used, and its decision shall be final.Pompey Penguin wrote:Don't know about the refs, but there is no away goal rule in the FL play-offs.uspompeyfan wrote:Do we get better refs for the play-offs?

For what it is worth, we will get to Wembley. Let me explain why: The beautiful Mrs Selsey has booked a weekend away in Lake Como for the two of us which includes Monday 30th May
