League One playoffs started tonight.
Peterborough already 2-0 up against Sheffield Wed.
Posh second goal was a cracker.

Deflection off Marvin’s back, but nevertheless a good strike.
Ps: I’m on the Posh at 5/1 to win the Play Offs

A bit cruel on Wednesday finishing so far ahead of them, unfortunately that’s the playoffs.
I like Darren Moore comes across a nice bloke, but I don’t think he’s quite got it in him to get Sheff Wed up. He doesn’t seem to have the tactical nous needed.
3 down now
Great goal. 3-0
Sheff Wed have been awful tonight. Mountain to climb now. They are in trouble, and are paying out BIG wages. They really needed to go up this year.

And Bannan has just signed a new contract with them, more than than likely on loads of dosh. Let’s hope we play them (and him) a couple of times next season and take all 6 points.
Well they’ve not beaten us since they got relegated.
4-0
Unbelievable. Fancied a tight two legged affair, but what do I know ?

Of the four teams I saw this season, Barnsley were the best side ive seen.
Fair Play to Peterborough they’ve showed up tonight, and Sheff Wed have wet themselves.
Reading this thread is giving me flashbacks to our first leg at home to Blackpool. 
Brings back haunting memories of Blackpool, this.

Posh Vs Barnsley final would be the best outcome. Both Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton always sell out our away end.

The play off games which were the genesis of Robinson’s decline. Blackpool showed us exactly what we needed to do to be successful in League one but it was a lesson not learned.

And our record over the last few seasons against Peterborough hasn't exactly been great.

Not only did Wednesday bottle the top 2 they have some how bottled the play offs. Their wage bill is massive and having worked with a Wednesday fan he has said that if they don’t go up this season they could be in trouble financially.
On top of that they never seem to be able to beat us.
I fancy Barnsley to go up.

A couple more fun games for us next season then, which no one has ever said about Peterborough. Darren Moore sure to go now.

Hillsborough is becoming more derelict as well with, like the Manor, the capacity being semi regularly reduced.
Bolton 1-1 Barnsley. I’d say Barnsley just favs because they will be at home in the 2nd leg.
Sunderland 0-1 Luton is a latest. In the Championship. Luton look well organised, especially at the back, and I think Sunderland may struggle to crack them over 2 legs.
Tonight it’s Salford v Stockport to try and get themselves an advantage and a place in the final and make it to Lge 1.

Sunderland 1-1 v Luton. Hell of a strike as well.
That was to be fair. Sunderland looking well up for it, but I still fancy Luton over 2 legs.
I think I read that Wednesday this season had the highest points total ever for a team that missed automatic promotion in Football League history?
That six game winless win in March/April - including the loss to FGR, and culminating in being fortunate to get a point at our place - really cost them.
But yeah, losing the first playoff game 4-0 is a proper bottle job.
I hope Barnsley go up - they're always decent, always tough to beat but there's nothing particularly interesting about playing or visiting them. Pretty average stadium in a pretty average town, with pretty average support home and away and not much edge.......
It’s a bloody dive (Barnsley) all up and down hills, and a massive walk down a footpath to the ground. Been too many times, and lost, and like you I hope they go up.

Conversely, Peterborough lost 17 of their 46 League games this season.
If they do go up, surely that has to be the highest ever number of defeats for a promoted team?
I doubt many sides have even finished 6th with that number of defeats (we managed to qualify for the play-offs with a whopping 16 in 2021 - but obviously didn't go up).
The play-offs are a funny old thing and there is often reward for sides that really go sh*t or bust throwing caution to the wind and putting together a run of wins at some point.
At the risk of triggering, it's effectively what those managers without the ability to build solid sides hope for (and sometimes build careers on).
Conversely, Darren Moore is sensible and pragmatic. 99 times out of 100 that would be enough. Not this season.
Sunderland 2-1 another goal for the Mackems would be amazing for them. If Luton can keep it this way, then they still have every chance.
Full Time Sunderland 2-1 Luton
Still very much all to play for at Kenilworth Road.
