Everyone seems to think we will be playing Sheff U if we get through, but I'm not so sure.

Even if we ended up facing them, it would be nice if Sheff U can have picked up a few injuries and suspensions beforehand. That tricky attacking right back/winger dislocated his shoulder yesterday - Rey Saki, or whatever he's called.

I had a dream that Bristol won 2-1 at home and then Sheff Utd were winning 2-1 at their place
92nd minute Bristol get a penalty and draw 2-2 to go through
You heard it here first lol

Sheaf's miss, completely unchallenged, from the pen spot was an absolute howler! He did start deeper but he swapped with Grimes quite early on. He always has a couple of mistakes in him and he can't hit the target. That will really limit his sale value, unfortunately.

We have a great midfield for the Championship.

Grimes, Rudoni and Sheaf as starters and Torp, Eccles and Allen on the bench. That’s pretty good.

If he was still with us, I honestly don’t think Callum O’Hare would get much game time. With everyone fit it is entirely conceivable that he wouldn’t even make the bench! I never thought I would hear myself say that.

I know he never really played the position for us but do you not think he would get in on the right wing alternating with Tats?

If you still had COH, surely lends itself, especially away, to play box 541 - rudoni and COH behind a striker.

COH still offers plenty, however think championship is his ceiling, lost a little zip after the injury, totally understandable aswell.

It's a thought but not having seen him play there it's impossible for me to say, although I have doubts as to whether his aerial crossing would be good enough. I guess he would be more like Haji, cutting inside the box from the wing.

Don't get me wrong, I liked him when he played for us but I prefer Rudoni.

I don't fancy Bristol in the final though. We never seem to be at our best against them.

Two wins and one loss between now and the end of the season has a pretty good chance of being a very good outcome indeed

The return to fitness of Sheaf is huge for the play offs.
Him and Grimes are quality players at this level and sitting in front of the back four gives tremendous solidity to the shape of the team.
Grimes is no longer playing passes from the LB position and they're breaking up play and winning the ball higher up the pitch. Sakamoto and Rudoni too.

We're looking good.
