    We are in the playoffs.
    Walsall must be feeling somewhat deflated despite winning 5-0 thanks to some shoddy Port Vale goalkeeping.


    Who fancies our chances?

    How Bradford and Milwall knock ten bells out of each other.

    I don't buy this finishing 3rd is deflating theory. Preston finished 3rd last season after the majority of the season in the top 2, and won the play-off final 4-0 IIRC.

    I wouldn't be underestimating Walsall, should be two cracking games...

    We're definitely underdogs because they've been good since sacking O'Driscoll. But that may suit us and we won't fear anyone

    In the modern league structure yes. Didn't we play of in old 3rd division north? Biglil would have been there!:D

    Yes and we've got to the final both times. So you can either say we are due to be beaten or we have play off form.

    It depends I suppose on if your glass is half full or not. Form wise we should fear nobody, if we played the way we have this last 25 games for only another 5-10 games more we'd have been in the automatic positions. In fact, take out the 8 games losing on the spin and we'd have been champions with only a reasonable amount of form. This last 5 months we've been the best team in the league so league positions mean sweet FA.
