If you like your podcasts there’s a simply excellent episode of Not The Top 20 featuring a Championship Play Off preview.
I’ve listened to their weekly episodes throughout the season but it really gives an in-depth look at each of the four teams and some really interesting little bits which give the most pessimistic of fans (myself included) some real optimism that we *may* just have a chance.
Check it out.
Interesting, will give it a listen.
I'm hopeful going into the game. We were outstanding in the away game against Saints, despite losing 2-1. Similar to the feeling when we lost 1-0 away at Leeds under Bilic a few years ago. Lost but were the undeniably the better team against a good side.
Home game wasn't great but a couple of unusual factors affected us that night. It was the first game after the Patel takeover for one thing, everyone was giddy. Then the atmosphere was punctured after CC was sent off after 6 mins with Russell Martin waving his hands around like a maniac... (time to recycle to Tim Sherwood chant, anyone?)...
I think it'll be tight. They think they're Pep's Barca so we need to set up like Simeone's Atletico.
Expecting us to be extremely well drilled and difficult to beat over 2 legs. Will need to be organised out of possession, look to threaten from set pieces or magic moments on the break from Johnston/Fellows/Diangana.
