Cowley playing mind games again, they've the best support out of the 4 teams apparently.

They’re not underdogs no matter what Cowley says. As for support...he ain’t far wrong; top of away avg crowds and second to us for home.
Hope they beat Exeter so that we have a chance of beating them in the final.

When we beat them 3-0 earlier in the season, it was Jones who scored all three goals.
We no longer have Jones, so other people will need to step up.

1-2 loss followed by a turgid 0-0 where we spend 90 mins failing to break them down.
Some people are really negative aren't they? You might as well all stay at home and not bother coming at this rate
FFS!!! It could go either way, county fans will be shutting themselves too hoping it’s not like the season opener
Probably not a big market and a few people will see is as a 'big' team and put a bet on.
Since about a month ago I’ve been predicting doom and gloom constantly to manage my expectations. It’s working, I’m not stopping now.

Whatever happens, I'm sure it won't be easy.
We aren't going to thrash them in the first leg and have it easy in the second leg.
I expect Robins to play defensively in both games.
We'll either win by one goal or draw the first leg.
They will score first in the second leg and from that point, it will be a tense, nail-biting struggle.
Will be decided by one goal or penalties. I hope Burge practices facing them.

Optimist in me says easy win, pessimist says a loss realist says we're doomed omg hope the optimist wins this one
I am so chilled it's not true.
I see this now as a bonus, having made the playoffs, so am going into the game without apprehension or fear or expectation.
Whatever will be will be.
*We're going to Wemberley.
I am fearing this game big style to the point I don't want to go but my son is making me go, probably as revenge for turning him into a Cov fan
Yeah, then there's the part-part wankers and the wannabe wankers, not forgetting the overly excessive wanking wankers.
Had a look we've only had him once a season .
1-1 draw at Wimbledon last year,3-2 win V Peterborough home year before.
A couple more wins and defeats going back further 3-2 defeat at Swindon in 2014 with 6 bookings but he's unlikely to show a Red from the stats and not rediculous with the yellows over a season either.
So it could be we need to be a match in the dark Arts.
for the checkatrade my gut feeling was a loss but hope for a win
with these playoffs i just cant see us winning a 4 team mini tournament at all
but the hope remains
if i had to predict 3-1 agg loss

Personally feel all 4 teams are pretty evenly matched and therefore the team with the mental strength and a bit of luck are likely to get promoted. Doyle could well turn out to be the crucial man (especially if the going gets tough at county).
My fears are we allow ourselves to get bullied and we set up too defensive and fail to adapt as the games progress. Fortune favours the brave so let’s be positive and go out to win with positive attacking football.

We had both against Exeter, Lincoln and Notts County... We lost all 3 games without Jones. That said, considering the 2-1 loss was a bottle job and should've ended as a draw at their place, I think home advantage is good for us. But, if we go into the away leg needing a win, I'm going to be worried.
I'd take that, no problem.
Would quite fancy our chances going there on the back of a draw.
