Play off predictor

Lincoln for me can't see anything other than their rise continuing.

 

[GTFCfish]

Yeah I fancy Lincoln too but hoping for Exeter purely for selfish geographical reasons.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Hoping for a late rule change so they just promote the top four

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

The bookies have the 6th and 5th placed finishes as joint favourites for promotion.

No reason to disagree , £10 on Imps at 5/2

 

[Buxton Vale]

I have a feeling that Coventry may just sneak it.

Off the sides, Notts looked poorest but oddly the only ones to beat us twice so seem to get the job done regardless.

Lincoln will probably fancy it as they have excelled in knock out football in the past two seasons. Hard to call though, very evenly matched four.

I have a feeling that Coventry may just sneak it.

Yep, my tip too.

 

[valefan16]

Yep, my tip too.

Depends which Coventry turn up I guess. They’ve been very inconsistent.

 

[Crewelad87]

I hope exeter do it but I've got a feeling it will be a Coventry vs Lincoln final, and that is a coin toss.

I think Notts vs Coventry is basically a coin toss, as the game at ML the other week showed with basically nothing between us. If we can get some kind of result at the Ricoh then home advantage in the second leg may just see us through.

I think we’d be underdogs in the final just because both Exeter and Lincoln have played at Wembley recently and we haven’t for 20+ years. Think knowing what to expect as a team/club can really help there. I’d probably rather play Lincoln because of the styles of football, could see Exeter stretching us on the big pitch whilst we could drag Lincoln into a set piece and midfield battle.

Can’t split either of the play off sides. On paper I’d say Lincoln have the weakest team, but they also have a strong management team and momentum behind them.

Notts County are good but they faded towards the end of the season after looking good for auto promotion..

All of us have wobbled in recent matches, losing and drawing we should have won.
It's all about holding your nerve and who's players have the most left in the tank.
We have several carrying knocks/injuries.

 

[jacobncfc]

We’ve arrested our wobble a bit in recent weeks as well, was a stage where it looked like we might fall out of the play offs.

You can make a case for and against all four teams tbh. We’ve been mediocre since Christmas but still have a very good record against the other sides in the top seven etc

 

[Luke Imp]

Agree with Jacob r.e. the PO Final. If we got there, I'd rather play Notts than Coventry for the reasons he says. I wanted Coventry in the semi's, though. They're the most 'footballing' side of the four and Wembley would suit them so I didn't want a possibility of facing them there.

I think all the teams are looking at the PO's and thinking it's wide open and, in my opinion, not particularly high on quality or consistency.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Yup, no doubt criticism and comment will flood in from the lower echelons of the league.

Just happy to be involved at this stage
