BOF Posted April 17, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2018 Unfortunately it's very simple for Blackburn now. Win your last game on Monday away to hapless West Brom and you're up. Good to see we have Suliman back, and Lyden fit and back in the goals though. We need to be going up with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thought we had an outside chance of top spot, until you said Blackburn had West Brom! Just hope they pinch a draw and we do the business in the final 2 games.

OutByEaster? Posted April 19, 2018 Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2018 Apparently the final of the PL2 Cup is in the last weekend of April - the semi-final must be happening pretty soon if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 19, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2018 That will affect our remaining league games then. Maybe a weaker side facing Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unused Sub Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Date for semi to be Friday 27/04/18 (7pm ok), according to the OS twitter account. So that looks like its after the last U23 league game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should add to the occasion, give the lads some experience......might also work against us. Also, how come we entered this year. Its the first time we've played in this cup since 2013-14 (lost to Fulham)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't that young at all. Bazeley-Graham is the same age as the rested Bedeau and Suliman at 20 offsets Revan at 17 who was the only properly young player in the side. Mooney & O'Hare are both 19 (albeit O'Hare is the big two zero next week). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 24, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2018 The semi-final will be played "some time between April 27th & 30th". Given that our PL cup semi against Leicester is the 27th, I would hazard a guess that the league playoff semi will be the 30th, but that's only speculation at this point.
