jbell1995 114 Posted August 28, 2022 Against all the odds this season with injuries and bad luck, the Gladiators are playoff bound and it’s now just down to the final two fixtures to determine if it’s 4th/5th or 6th place that they’ll finish in. Team wise, guests will be needed for Kennett, Barker and I’d imagine Palm-Toft. Something tells me the guests booked for this meeting and the Glasgow one will have a view to the playoffs attached.

It'll be just the Redcar Match that decides play off positions from 4th to 6th (and 7th) Plymouth have a superior points differential over Edinburgh so could win v Redcar and finish 4th and play Edinburgh who finish 5th if that happens. Redcar could get a 4 point away win and finish 5th and play Edniburgh leaving Plymouth 6th to play Poole. If Redcar draw or lose by less than 6 points they pip Scunthorpe for 6th place. I've read on Plymouth website that the re-arranged Glasgow Home match is on Tuesday 6th September. That will count in final league positions but WON'T count in play off calculation as the final cut-off is Wednesday 31st August. By riding it though they avoid a hefty fine from BSPL.

I imagine Redcar will turn up with Lawson for Riss. Plymouth will probably use r/r for Barker because Palm Toft is a second string. As a Scunny fan my fear is Plymouth turn up with two cheap guests because they have got nothing to ride for. Is Dan Gilkes back? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbell1995 114 Posted August 28, 2022 My guess would, because we are still on the old averages: R.Worrall (G) , Morley, R/R for Barker, Flint (G), Andersen, Complin and Coles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure Leicester would pick Plymouth in any semi final - didn't they only get 30 point there in the League and Plymough got over 40 at Leicester? If Plymouth make semi's I think Leicester might fancy Poole a bit more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Despite fact Leicester beat Poole home and away apparently Leicester won't "touch them with a barge pole" for no other reason than they're Poole. Leicester may take Edinburgh as did same against them and save on their gaffers travelling expenses 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
