Well, here it is then. By all accounts we played reasonably well today without ever being world class. We've probably got the hardest tie being against Crewe, although we have beaten them twice already this season.

Here are the fixtures for the playoffs:

1st Leg Crewe v Southend - Saturday 12th May 2012, ko. 5.30pm
1st Leg Cheltenham v Torquay - Sunday 13th May 2012, ko. 12.00pm

2nd Leg Southend v Crewe - Wednesday 16th May 2012, ko. 7.45pm
2nd Leg Torquay v Cheltenham - Thursday 17th May 2012, ko. 7.45pm

The Final will take place at Wembley on Sunday 27th May 2012, with a 3pm kick-off.

At least today's results mean I should be able to make it to Crewe away and then Wembley should we get there.

In terms of 'current form' , Crewe are the most difficult team we could be facing.
Torquay seem shot to pieces right now , and 'running on empty' according to their own Manager.
Still , we've beaten them twice , so should go into the games with some confidence.
Thought we were ok today , but without reaching the levels of recent home matches.

 

[Pubey]

To be fair I'd rather take on the best team in the semis rather than the final.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

I bet Crewe fans don't fancy facing us in the play-offs. We've done the double over them this season, we're the last team to beat them, have one of the best away records in the football league and have kept clean sheets in 6 of our last 7 games! So we too are a form team.

Add to that we have strength in depth in the squad, and in Harris, Dailly, Barker and, to a lesser extent Eastwood, we have some experienced heads who should be able to hold the team together.

If I was them, I'd not fancy facing us over 2 legs.

Let's be positive folks!

Our form isn't that shabby when was the last time we conceded a goal?

The mods did it for me! Cheers.

I think we will do ok next Saturday. Can't wait.

Do you think the away leg will be sold out by the time tickets are available to non-STH? I was hoping to go with my mate, but I'm guessing our allocation may be sold out by Wednesday? I may go in the away end if that's the case...
