Play off form

[shaun]

I know that it is terrible - but since it started - how many times have we been in the play off's and what were the results? :computer:

 

[Datchetbee]

Not sure but in recent times we have been known to bottle it...
Hope our luck changes this year..

 

[nocoat]

Tranmere: Lost :sad:
Crewe: Lost :sad:
Huddersfield: Lost :sad:
Stoke: Lost :sad:
Sheffield Wednesday: Lost :sad:

 

[nocoat]

90/91, snuck in on the last day finishing 6th/7th :scratch: Played Tranmere over two legs drew 2-2 at home, Godfrey last minute equaliser, lost 1-0 up there. They went up

94/95, finished second, only year for 50 that one team went up. Played Huddersfield over two legs, drew 1-1 on both ocassions, lost on penalties as Mundee and Bates missed. They went up

96/97. Looking similar to this, great start, miles clear, sold a great striker, faltered as we were unable to beat teams at home. Finshed 4th. Bristol City over two legs, won them both 2-1. Crewe in final, lost 1-0, should have been 15-0.

01/02. Battle to the wire for second, missed out with 13 minutes remaining. Finished 3rd. Huddersfield over two legs, drew 0-0 up there, won 2-1 at home with Owusu getting the winner. Stoke in the final lost 2-0 as we were below par, had chnaces, didn't take them.

04/05. Always looking for a play-off spot, finished 4th as others collapsed more than us as we staggered over the line. Sheffield Wednesday over two legs, lost 1-0 up there in a tactical mess, 2-1 at home as they took their chances and we didn't. They went up.

I'm off to slit my wrists

 

[bigmac]

I hate the play-offs :sad:

So every team that has beaten off in the play off format has gone up? Wow -good news for someone. rofl

That Crewe game always makes me laugh when I think about it. My Dad (who has been going to GP for nearly 60 years) left after 70 minutes. I can't think of a more one sided game of football.

 

[ChorleyBee]

I'd love the play offs if we ever actually won the damn things!

 

[Chelsea Bee]

If we are in the play offs teams will lose on purpose to get the chance to play us

 

[Willo]

That Crewe game always makes me laugh when I think about it

Funny that, cos it makes me & & :mad2:

 

[SQUELCH]

Tranmere: Lost :sad:
Crewe: Lost :sad:
Huddersfield: Lost :sad:
Stoke: Lost :sad:
Sheffield Wednesday: Lost :sad:

Really don't know what was worse, as i was only 11 years old for Tranmere i was probably too young too understand, however Crewe was my 1st and only trip to wembley and for Stoke i bunked off uni in France for 4 weeks to watch from the Bury game onwards to watch that drivel. Its a funny old game.....

 

[TW1Bee]

Tranmere: Lost :sad:
Crewe: Lost :sad:
Huddersfield: Lost :sad:
Stoke: Lost :sad:
Sheffield Wednesday: Lost :sad:

This has got me thinking. Add to the list our victories against Bristol City and Huddersfield have we made the most appearances (seven) in the playoffs than any other side in the league. Haven't got time to look it up but someone else might.

Our victories against Brizzle & Huddersfield preceded the losses against Crewe and Stoke so it's still only 5

 

[chippendale]

For me Huddersfield was the worse. I was thrown out of GP for using foul and abusive language.

 

[GP200]

..a big no-no to the play-offs..................

 

[SmiffyBee]

6th time lucky !

 

[joet]

Ipswich may of been in them more than us?

For one of their P.O matches a few seasons back they had the Samaritans number on the scoreboard.

 

[TW1Bee]

Our victories against Brizzle & Huddersfield preceded the losses against Crewe and Stoke so it's still only 5

Quite right. Thanks for that.

 

[SH]

Worst moment before the Stoke final was finding out that we were in the "lucky" dressing room at Cardiff from which the winners of ALL previous 12 matches had emerged victorious...

 

[Garybaldbee]

Quite right. Thanks for that.

But we have made more appearances in the third tier play offs than anybody else.

I know because I went all the way back through the records to count.......

And we still can't get out of this f***ing division

 

[hanworthbee]

The problem is on most occasions the bees dont show up on the big day, maybe this year will be different, the games not being on tele would help as we always seem to bore the nation on there.

I thought that in 2002. A Coppell side won't freeze I told myself........

 

[ChinaBee]

Tranmere: Lost :sad: - very unlucky in away leg should have won

Crewe: Lost :sad: Webb say no more, players then sold

Huddersfield: Lost :sad: - Penalties

Stoke: Lost :sad: crowd and players out numbered

Sheffield Wednesday: Lost :sad: - no comment still hurts

IF it is the play offs again, would like us to play Barnsley or Huddersfield followed by anyone but Forest in final

IF it is the play offs again.it has to be our time


Pretty Mental Aint i

 

[Debbee]

Tranmere: Lost :sad:
Crewe: Lost :sad:
Huddersfield: Lost :sad:
Stoke: Lost :sad:
Sheffield Wednesday: Lost :sad:

And the only game I didn't go to was the away match last season @ Sheffield Wed....and that was because I was overdue with my 2nd child @ the time so couldn't risk it.

No more torture like those matches please....Let's get 3 wins from 3 and give ourselves the best chance of avoiding them!

 

[California Bee]

Playoff finals should be a home game for the highest finishing club otherwise there's no reward for finishing 3rd vs finishing 6th e.g. Brentford vs Stoke City was like a home game for Stoke City with huge fan attendance for the Potters

 

[Mad Bee]

Brentford vs Stoke City was like a home game for Stoke City with huge fan attendance for the Potters

The teams who finish highest get the home leg last which is an advantage.

It's not Stoke's fault that we could only muster 12k.

Besides, Wembley was like a home game for us against Crewe. Fat lost of difference that made!

 

[California Bee]

Insignificant factor in most ties and marginal at best especially if you're playing from behind by then.

It's not Stoke's fault that we could only muster 12k.

12K would have kept all the Stoke City fans out of Griffin Park.

Besides, Wembley was like a home game for us against Crewe. Fat lost of difference that made!

That was a fair result and playing at GP wouldn't have changed the outcome

 

[shepperton bee]

this year we will definately go up coz ive got a bloody holiday in france that clashes with the final...anyone know if easyjet fly from brittany to cardiff ???

 

[Les Beeavinu]

How bizarre. Exactly the same here, even the location.

 

[shepperton bee]

i can see a plan coming together here..we could hire a private plane and parachute into the millenium stadium ...alternatively we need to find a bar and try and persuade some gallic 'le patron' that all his regulars would be enthralled with watching the mighty bees in action rather than the usual live snail racing from longchamp...i'm at dol de bretagne not far st malo you anywhere near ??

No, I'm the other side of Brittany near Quimper. I'm supposedly catching a 07:00 ferry from Portsmouth on Saturday morning and have suggested that perhaps I could meet my wife and kids in France. For some reason, she's none too keen.

Incidentally, I was not far from St Malo last year. I'm sure you'll have an excellent holiday. Nice part of the world.

 

[shepperton bee]

i'm on the same ferry...quimper is really nice too stayed near there a couple of times ...lets just bloody well hope we go up auto coz i couldnt bear the thought of missing a play off final..... if it comes to it weve only got 24hrs to try and bribe a frenchie to tune to sky sports !!

Nope, we're going to miss it. The League 1 final is on Saturday so i don't know where you'll be but I'll be driving 200 miles across France.

 

[shepperton bee]

oh b***ocks !!!!

 

[Wise old Bee]

I've enjoyed all our play-off games, even the horrible bits. They are massive games with so much at stake. But try telling that to smug Chelsea and Arsenal supporters in my office, they'll never understand the exhilaration of Kevin Godfrey's equaliser againstTranmere, Bob Taylor's miss at Huddersfield, the penalty shootout, the horrors of the finals we've been in, turning over Bristol City I wouldn't have missed any of it for the world. No doubt, barring a last day minor miracle, we'll be at it again and there will be more joy or misery and it'll be a summer of bliss or suicidal thoughts. I can't wait for we are Brentford and that's what we do.

 

[Bee49]

Who needs them.
Shoot that guy Lange who suggested it.

Now look what has happened, lost again.Everyone moaning and groaning.

 

[shaun]

Hoprefully some Bees bet on Swansea when the draw was made as I expect them to thump Barnsley.

 

[hanworthbee]

Looking at our form ive decided the only possible way we can win the play offs is to play a southern team in the final
