Best result tomorrow?

Let's try the third option - a high score win.

Seriously though folks, the bookies have us as the least likely to win promotion. Could this be because having played the other three teams twice, these team's managers have us sussed out as a long ball team and will adjust their tactics to suit? This one-dimensional play may have come back to bite us on the bum. It looks to me as if the bookies think so.

Sorry Laxton, but you don't seem to understand the way the bookies operate. The bookies don't think anything, they don't give a flying f*ck who goes up, if they have done their job properly they will make a profit whichever of the four teams win the final. A couple of them have Exeter as the outsiders, and a few others rate us as having an equal chance to Exeter.

You know much more than I do about the way bookies operate, EP, all I know is what I've read on these forecast sites and what the ones I've read forecast. Some of these bookies must be almost human and have calculations based on more than just current form.

For what it's worth, EP, I can't make head nor tails of that link.

That's pretty much my point. The bookies don't need any calculations other than the one where they pay out 90% of what they take in.

So we will get Promoted
We will win 2-1 tomorrow evening and draw the Meadow Lane clash
Beat Exeter in the final 3-2 at the new Wembley
And gain promotion to division one
Next

Well we could argue Lincoln haven’t beaten us and the other two teams we have won and lost in both games so none of them have had the upper hand over us.

BUT as we all know the play offs are a different ball game if honest I’d be well happy with a draw tomorrow.

Here's an idea. How about, seeing as we're on the day of our first play off game in donkey's years after a fabulous season of improvement, we stop trying so hard to fall out with one another and unite behind Notts for the day?

Agree but it's not me trying Swale

Oh that's OK then. Good man. Those cheeky scamps out there can be a nightmare can't they?

Yes it is.
