No gimmicks its the blooming playoffs! the Wycombe match thread 1st leg

ROOARRRR

No matter where your catching the game tomorrow either at Home Park, watching on the tv or listening to the radio do your bit for the wor effort and remember to thank brent for being a swell guy as its all down to him why we have made it here

but seriously

im hoping for two things tomorrow a clean sheet and first blood in terms of the win. Wycombe's keeper could miss the game tomorrow so that could be a big help to us.

We need to win the tie tomorrow night, if we draw well be fecked. Crowd need to get behind the team for full ninety if that "here we go again" feeling gets established the players will drop. Confidence of the crowd has been a massive influence this season, personally I feel a lot more confident after the last few games and momentum built.

They will probably come trying not to get beaten. We have to make the first game at home to be in our advantage by putting the game to bed.
3-0 to us.

I would be delighted to go to Wycombe with any sort of lead and wouldn't be devastated if we drew. As others have mentioned the crowd can play its part but they can also have a negative impact.

One word for everyone tomorrow - patience.

No point in going gung-ho and getting frustrated if we're nil nil at 60 minutes.

I hope you're right Steve but I fear you're not.

Mixed news on whether Wycombe's keeper will be fit for tomorrow.

I believe that Argyle can win this game, possibly by 2 or 3 goals, with non conceded.

They now have the chance to shine in front of a packed HP and do the job at hand, beating Wycombe and giving themselves a really good chance of getting to Wembley. The players will no doubt be as anxious as we are, but one would hope they are focussed and ready to go.

If they can do that, then i think next Thursday's second leg will will be in the bag.

However, [and adding a note of caution] we just do not know which Argyle side will turn up on Saturday. They could freeze-up in front of a big crowd and fall apart, thus losing the game and making it harder for themselves in the second leg.

Tying to predict the outcome of the Football League play-offs is tricky at the best of times but judging this season’s League Two quartet has thrown up a real stinker.

With question marks surrounding each of the candidates picking a potential winner hasn’t been easy.

For fans of trends: In the last 10 years the team that has finished fourth have won the play-offs three times, fifth-placed teams have gone up twice, likewise those who came sixth and the seventh side three times.

Does that make things any clearer? Probably not. But we had to choose someone and it’s John Sheridan’s Plymouth who get the nod.

Argyle aren’t carrying the same amount of recent play-off baggage as their rivals and look a solid shout to get past an injury-ravaged Wycombe side who were comfortably seen off 2-0 by the Greens back in February.

Added to that, wins over Tranmere and title-chasing Shrewsbury were a positive end to the campaign.

Phil Brown’s Southend outfit were on a stunning seven-game winning streak before falling out of the top three on the final day following defeat to Morecambe. The Shrimpers have a very chequered play-off history and are perhaps best avoided at the prices.

Meanwhile, Stevenage have performed heroics in the past and shown they’re more than capable of mixing it with the best in League Two.

A 2-0 loss to Luton last time out was Boro’s first defeat in eight outings and can be forgiven if you’re looking for an outside bet.

Crowd will turn up but - as usual when we most need the result - the 'team' go completely awol. Our play-off 'dream' ends tonight.
