….into the the play offs with a limp over the line……so let’s not expect anything, then you’ll never be disappointed!

All those teams above us will be wanting to play us, Halifax will be licking their lips at playing us now & will be expecting just to turn up to win the elimination game.

So no pressure on us….no one expects, so I’m hoping we play without a monkey on our back

Unfortunately. Cookys record in the playoffs isn't all that good, however, it must be one of the first times he's gone into the playoffs with a fully fit keeper.
I reckon we'll not score in any matches and win them all on penalties. 🤪

If you could pick the team you wanted to play it would be Halifax out of the 4

They are the team in the worst form out of the 6, excluding that little team sat in 21st in the form table

[Lincs Spireite]

The play offs are a bit of a lottery. Who knows we might even win.

Definitely. They didn't impress me at their place, we were the better team. That said, I'm expecting a loss but I'll travel to Halifax in good spirits with low expectations. How many will we get given?

Well we scraped into play offs in end without playing well today plenty of effort though. I thought Rowe had a good 20 mins second half and great that he's got 90 mins. I would start with him and Tyson instead of Denton at Halifax 9,000 home fans was fantastic. Wrexham beatable it's. gonna be difficult but all still to play for COYB.

That away terrace must hold 2500. It felt empty still with 1200 there the other week. Think we will take 2000 maybe so will be plenty of room

As far I can see, Cooky has had just one attempt at the play offs.

2? one with us and one with Pompey? Didn't they lose to Plymouth season after he left us?

Yes. He took Portsmouth to the playoffs and he had to get another keeper in on loan because his keepers got injured.

I see. Think a less red top statement would have been in 2 attempts he’s lost to teams who finished above his in the table.

"how we get there i don't care"... we're in the play offs, all to play for and pressure not on us really. halifax away is what we now have, went there a few weeks ago , a fairly even game, they had better of 1st half we had better of the 2nd but just couldn't score. looking forward to it.

[Phil V 72]

Unless the last 6 weeks have been the most cunning mind game by Cook and we’re suddenly going to explode into life over 3 games, I’m fully expecting us to fall at the first hurdle.

But, it’s football so……

Can't go along with the 'Expect nothing' suggestion. What's life without hope and dreams? "Lose your dreams; And you will lose your mind".

Dream big, fellow Spireites, Dream Big 🥰

Nice one. Most of my casually strewn around song lyrics go completely unnoticed 🙄

I make it that we have a 40% chance, rather than your [fully expecting] 0%. There's not that much between us and Halifax, and our fans could inspire them to make up, and exceed it.
