Hopefully we go 2 or 3 up and can give Oriol a "run".
Because they’re trying to win to get into top 4 if Millwall/Boro drop points
As I expected (and hoped). A bit of tweaking, as usual, but nothing major. Totally the correct call.
Surely Jelert is better at RB than Charles!?! Getting more and more concerned that Stephens and Matsuki are missing the play offs too.
All of which is out of our hands. What is in our hands is making sure our key players are available for the play offs.
Rightly or wrongly, I'm not reading anything into their continued absence. I don't know if either of them could have played today, but it wouldn't have been necessary to rush them back for today if they could.
It's pretty clear that we won't be signing Jelert, regardless of which division we're in next season. I can understand Tonda wanting to stick with players who have been involved in this good run.
Top two was out of hands too. But we didn't just throw the towel in against Ipswich.
We can still try and get 4th, and hope for a favour.
It's not like the first leg is on Tuesday. This is totally the right call by Tonda.
I really hope if a Preston player is running through on goal Tonda's told everyone: "Don't ****ing touch him". Last thing we need is any stupid red cards.
I suppose it could be Fellows at RB, with Archer out wide and Charles in Azaz's position. But yes, I agree that Charles at RB seems the most likely. He's played there a couple of times towards the end of games recently, when Bree has been subbed off.
Would be nice if we can give Oyekunle some minutes too, but obviously all that depends on the game situation.
Exactly. The plan is to finish not only as high as we can but also as strongly.
Momentum is important.

SteepdaleChrist, its a steep climb to row 34
Crazy decision. He was crap against ipswich and quiet against city - he needs a rest. Hopefully he only plays 45.
