If hes got off with what he did so should bamford even though I don't like what bamford did too much of this in football it spoils the game

Some shambolic defence today. I can just see it now, after hammering Derby in the league, they're going to sneak through against us in the playoffs and Fat Frank and the Derby players will all face their fans at the end of the game and do the binoculars celebration ala Bradford and the crocodile clap at Headingley in the early 2000s.

different competition now. all to play for.

Not really, think we look out of it now. I did say the other month, although Bielsa was the reason we got where we were, he was also the guy going to cost us with his stubbornness. He has done this throughout his career, and why he has always been the bridesmaid and not the bride. Such a shame, with the opportunity we had.

I would not say we were out of it at all. Derby are a decent side but we have schooled them twice this season and there is also the added spice of the spygate to throw in again, for me it is a 50/50 game and all to play for. I would certainly expect Villa to make the final out of the other semi but nothing to be afraid of there. I don't fancy us to do it by the way but that said it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we turn it on in the play offs and pull it off its been that kind of a season

My gut feeling is we are done. Our form is appalling going into the playoffs. Hope I'm wrong I really do..

when we last reached the play off final.we won 1 game in the last 10.

it's a new competition. form and previous results count for nothing.
all to play for

I'm sure Bielsa has reasons for playing the likes of Harrison who has been poor for weeks now.
And Hernandez who has looked knackered for weeks too.
Why not put Brown and or Shackleton in the side today to get them sharp should they be needed in the playoffs.
Bielsa is like some are saying is too stubborn and too loyal to a core group of players that by rights should have been dropped or rested.
I hope he can prove me wrong but we are as it stands the fourth best team going into the playoffs on current form.
Having said that I don't think Huddersfield were that hot at this stage when they got promoted.
Fingers crossed.

So Bielsa is stubborn, only picks his favourites, and flogs tired players. Remind you of anyone?

Players in pro sports team are monitored and tested throughout training and during games. The staff know exactly how tired or fit a player is all of the time. All this talk of 'flogging players' is nonsense.

I also wonder if Tom Lawrence will get banned for deceiving the referee.

No,
not unless he starts winning trophies

I see no ban for Lawrence even though he deceived the ref and will play Saturday.
Probably goes with the players who aimed a headbutt at Alioski and the one who punched Klich. Bizare
