It's looking very likely now that we'll face Middlesbrough in the semi-finals. |  |

It's so important we finish 3rd or 4th and have the 2nd leg at St Mary's. It's looking like we finish 4th and Boro finish 5th, but not guaranteed. We don't want to be away in the 2nd leg. Boro have Sheff Wed and Watford. They will likely win both games, so we need to still win a couple to stay in 4th. We are playing for that 2nd leg at home.. | |

Having watched them on the TV last 2 games I think they are the best team in play offs other than us. It’s gonna be tough. Hopefully Stephens is not properly crocked as Wood is no replacement |  |

Ideally we want to finish 4th over 3rd as 4th means our away leg is on a Saturday rather than Friday night. | | | |

Mmm.
Atmosphere would probably be less lively on a Saturday lunchtime, which may help the away team.
Where's the best place to stay on a Friday night up that way? York??? |  |

Give Darlo a go. On the East Coast mainline and easy train over to Boro from there. |  |

I am not so sure this is as important as people think. We are pretty good away from home also. I think Tonda style and beliefs mean home or away does not matter. |  | | |

Id like to think we will try and get the 3rd of 4th spot and a second leg at home. Looking at all the potential opponents, i think its going to be very important. |  | | |

Yeah, definitely want the 2nd leg at St Marys. It'll be a massive boost having home advantage whatever the score from the 1st leg. |  |

The last time a team from 5th or 6th got promoted, or reached the Wembley final was 2019. Being at home in the 2nd leg is a huge advantage i.e. Home support against Arsenal really helped us get through and probabaly would have been different had we been away. An away tie at say at a ferocious New Den in the 2nd leg would be a big disadvantage. [Post edited 22 Apr 12:46]

Well, IF we beat Middlesbrough, it looks like we'll be facing Millwall at Wembley. | |

Quite likely we end up playing Millwall at Wembley. Wouldn't be very pleasant that. Meeting groups of their drugged up, red eyed fans at tube stations would put a lot of families off going. | |

I’m not so sure we will be playing Millwall if we beat Middlesbrough.
Should Millwall beat Oxford at home and we beat Ipswich, don’t Ipswich have to get four points from West Brom and Q P R to finish above Millwall ?
Not forgetting of course that if Ipswich do finish second Millwall will have to beat whoever finishes sixth to get to the playoffs. [Post edited 24 Apr 23:05]

Fu(k it, let's just play whoever we play. We are capable of beating anyone in this league on the day... and remember that no one in the play-offs will want to play Saints. | |
