I hope boro get 6th

They haven't lost against Leeds this year and I thibk they've got a better chance of beating them than Derby?

Wouldn't mind facing boro in a final at all

We should beat west brom. But they do have the habit of scoring goals when not playing well

I actually think Boro will scrape 6th. They’ll beat Rotherham which means Derby have to beat Swansea (away) or West Brom and I’m not sure they will.

Last night I dreamt I’d been given corporate tickets for the game at the Hawthorns. I was hoping to be able to give you all an insight into what happens in the match but it took me so long to find the right entrance to the right stand and then get to my seat that I woke up when the teams were about to kick off. Sorry.
Please advise us if you receive Corporate tickets for Wembley. At least we will know the outcome of the semi's.

If we have to play Leeds at any stage in the play offs I hope it's their full strength team. The team that should have been promoted by now but has fucked it up royally in the last few weeks.

Don't really mind who we face, but have to get past WBA first.

I'd obviously prefer either Derby or Boro though, as we've beaten those two teams 13-0 on an aggregate basis!

We are getting lots of pundits tipping us to win the play offs.  I hope Dean Smith tells the players to shut out and ignore all of the noise and concentrate on each game as it comes.  Absolute professionalism throughout.

So both semi 1st legs are on Sat 11th then 2nd legs on 14th & 15th.

Given the final is on 27th, why the rush to play 2nd leg of the semis so soon????

I assume as it is a final at Wembley people will need a little more time to prepare travel, accomodation, tickets etc. 12 days isn't a lot really

Good point TV.  I hadn’t considered the admin/logistics side.

Interestingly depending on Norwich at home, Sunday, we haven't beaten any team above us.

Going on last year, we should be match "B" and so second leg should be away on the Wednesday

Last year Fulham - Derby was match A and Villa-Boro was B

Does that sound right?

Just got mine and my sons loaded directly onto my season card. Seemed quite straight forward.
