Seem to remember Town losing 4-0 to Bristol in 2017 - either the last match of the season or the one before it. Awful on the day, but didn't do any harm in the playoffs. UTT. Wasn't all that near to the end of the season. It was March - specifically Paddy's Day. I remember watching it in the pub whilst listening to tinny Irish violins & seeing people in silly hats dancing. Watching us get smashed coupled with a nasty looking neck injury to Hogg (which thankfully turned out to be nowhere near as bad as first feared!). It's seared into my memory as the evening that I believed the promotion dream was over. I developed a deep seated loathing of Irish folk music that evening.

I trust Carlos and his staff to know the players who will benefit from a rest, and those who actually need to keep playing every week to stay sharp. However, you would hope that any player with a slight knock will be rested, and any core players starting will be pulled at 60 minutes or so for someone from the B team.

Are we advocating 90 mins of tactical changes depending on the scores coming in elsewhere??? Couple of late goals elsewhere could make that totally void? Whoever starts we play to win and to try out any of the lads that need some gametime in positions and tactics that Carlos wants to see or try out? The game played properly and purposefully is very useful for us. Never in a million years. Trying to avoid certain teams might make some kind of sense - but psychologically that's probably not great preparation even if it works. An injury hit & out of form Luton might be our preferred option, but whoever we get won't be easy.

It was tongue in cheek, same as the talk in the past couple of weeks about who WE want in the play offs, when its daft to think we can play our games somehow trying to get a certain result when 5 other teams and more are playing games that affect their final position and ours. Final game, enjoy, win and use it effectively and that means that Carlos and staff and the players get something positive from it.

Think it was Feb/March time, when Hoggy did his neck and spine. You mean the injury where he was back for the next game or something daft like that? I seem to recall it took an age to treat him on the pitch and there were all sorts of worries at the time. Thankfully he’s a Smoggie, so he’ll have ingested so many harmful chemicals as a kid that not much will keep him out for long…

Anyone know if the Peacock will be open before the match?

I was at the game on my way from Exeter back up to Huddersfield. Got piss wet through. Motorways closed for works didn’t get up north until about 3am. Hoggy had a nasty injury thought he had a broken neck at first. Truly crap night!

I hear ya, CC and Jorge had the great idea of dropping Hogg in between Lees and Colwill. That worked well. Provided Hogg doesn't make catastrophic errors again... Hogg doesn't tend to cock-up in that role. His loose passing, control etc. is when he's in midfield under pressure and not set with the play infront of him.

Sounds as though injuries are hitting at the wrong time.
LOB out, Tino not fit enough to start, Ward, Sinani and Colwill being monitored, Thomas and Pearson not training.
Most we knew about but LOB not guaranteed to be fit for the playoffs, apparently.

Lewis O Brien will be fine for the playoffs. Sorba will feature too but won’t be at 100%.

Yeah, I would have rested him anyway - but not sure why we can't use our squad as we like rather than having to pretend people are injured!

Sounds more like the silly play off season. Everybody is injured or struggling for the last league game(s). Come next week its a full training session.

According to Talksport this morning Forest and Sheff U are the "standout form teams"... Town are currently top of the form table. Talk Shite spouting bollox again. The amount of times people point out the amount of bullshit coming out if Talk Shite on here I'm surprised anyone still listens. Personally I'd rather listen to someone scraping their nails down a blackboard.

The part about Koroma was a bit odd. He's fit but he might not be involved.

Would be good to get to 82 points, makes no difference to me who we play in the semi final, and it won't be Forest either way.
On the subject of last day nothing at stake games, that final match at home in 2017 v Cardiff City where we lost 0-3 was dire. Nobody in the crowd was that fussed, bit like a training session, I admit to leaving the stadium feeling that was as far as we were going, and would no doubt lose in the semi final. Repeat would do nicely!

Most we knew about but LOB not guaranteed to be fit for the playoffs, apparently. I’m convinced that Carlos has started his preparation for the play offs now. It’s not just about protecting players it’s about our potential opponents not being able to come up with any type of a game plan to play us. If this is the case it’s excellent thinking.

Its the same as will be coming from the 3 other play off contenders from saturday tea time. Fitness concerns, injury times being bandied about etc.. Its probably less boring for the staff making stuff up instead of answering the same old questions about how they plan to win the play offs. Mind games passes the time?

Fully agree here. If some analyst at Boro has to spend a few hours on how Town set up without LOB in the team, then fantastic, that's a few hours they aren't doing anything more productive.

Let the mind games begin...of course the players 'injured' would play if required. Guaranteed they'll be back for next weekend, and they've been able to rest and recuperate.
