6 Clubs in the Play-Offs from Next Season 2026/27

[Smurph]

Yes, but overwhelm is what I was querying. Though with Curt, Robbie, Leighton and Latchford in full flow first half, Tosh could well be 2 nil up

Ok I'll go for 2-2 full time. Loved both teams

Overwhelm is fairly obvious

Nope it isn't

 

[Smurph]

Nope it isn't

We both know it is. Crack on if you fancy carrying on being pedantic.

 

[swansvalleyjack]

We don't both know it is. In my opinion overwhelm doesn't come into it. In yours it does. Opinions is all. But go on...I'll let you have the last word next. Your track record shows you gotta have it

A team physically fitter will eventually overwhelm another team that is less fit over 90 minutes, it's common sense.

 

[swansvalleyjack]

Last word proven

Ok then let's carry on a bit more

Fitter def. Come the 90 min mark, my score was 2-2. Two nil Tosh half time.

But you discount the quality of Tosh team at your peril. The players of the ilk of Curt, Robbie, Leighton, Jimmy , Jeremy etc had the skill and quality to control and slow play, notwithstanding the fitness of a 2010 team.

So ..no to overwhelm for me. Just the wrong word is all. Fitter yes.

But bollox to this debate. I've seen both teams (not sure if you have). But no matter - I love them both. And I'm sticking with 2-2

And yes you can have the final final word

Last word proven?

When I say overwhelm what I mean is Brendan's side would come out on top due to superior fitness and a high tempo passing style, which would see his team keep the ball for long stretches forcing Tosh and his lads to chase the game until they are eventually overwhelmed by the tempo of the game.

Pretty sure the F1 cars of today would beat the F1 cars of 30 years ago.

 

[swansvalleyjack]

Nah. Overwhelm - I'm still not having it. Let's say " in the end the superior fitness of Brendan's team would tell, but only so far as equalising the earlier 2 -0 score of Tosh's quality team"

F1 is all about speed. No comparison to the vagaries of a football match with the quality Tosh's team had.

To repeat, I've seen and loved them both.

2-2 and that's my last word

Looks like you're more of a last word merchant than you think.

Maybe I am a bit sometimes when I have a clear view about some things, but overall on this Board you're the definite last word winner, I concede to your determination and consistency

Go on, see if you can break your routine - I dare you not to reply

Got to be honest pal, this thread kind of disproves that. You're right up there with the best of us.

 

[exiledclaseboy]

Well, yes Brendan is great of course, but don't forget Tosh who got us to sixth in the first season up there. We also topped the table a few times in the campaign. I'm not saying you, but a lot think football started in the Premier era.

Division 1 was the equivalent, under a different name is all.

Absolutely not denigrating Tosh’s achievements in any way but they were in a different era where there wasn’t such a gap between the haves and have nots. My view is that Rodgers’ achievement was a scale above but all opinions are valid.

 

[Smurph]

Four points off eighth with ten games to go. How many of us would take that this time next season?
