Have we actually appealed it? Would have thought the outcome would have been decided by now.
We got the outcome of Fry's appeal 2 days after the Sunderland match.

Here's the preference order of who I'd rather we'd faced in the semi-finals from those sides possible;Us not beating Cov guarantees we won't play Sunlun in the play off semi, and I don't want that. Don't want us to get dragged into a "derby" match. Play some kids. Lets have a look at the future!
Tbh the outcome of the Karanka playoff final was coincidental in terms of our last match of the season tactics, ie not effected by it whatsoever.I want us to win the game and we can worry about who the opposition is later. Didnt Karanka 'throw' the last game of his play off season to as to avoid Ipswich? Look how that worked out

That’s what I was thinking, it’s usually announced on twitter and there’s been nothing.Normally there's an official announcement of the appeal, which I haven't seen. I'd be very surprised if we don't appeal such an obvious mistake - or maybe Carrick isn't bothered about the 1 game ban and doesn't want to rock the boat before the play-offs begin.
I don't think it was a straight red card, but appealing is a bit of a distraction and its a little to play for game that he misses?
It's a weird one though isn't it. He sort of fouled him on the turn. If they're red card offences then there'd be red cards all the time. It's different to the unusual fouled when clean through. That said I don't think the appeal will be successfulView attachment 57296
Happy to be shot down but I’m not sure we have much of a chance on appeal. Neither Paddy nor Lenaghan would’ve prevented a clear goal scoring opportunity in my opinion.
Hopefully I’m wrong
Totally agree. I'd much rather face Millwall than Coventry but really we need to play well on Monday for the full house and for momentum therefore i'd hope for a full strength team where possible. I actually think if Coventry face Luton they will beat them over two games. And we would play Coventry if we can get past whoever we face. Millwall will be tough though especially at their place being bombarded and trying to get in our faces. With a near full strength team we can see them off even if we got beat 1-0 or 2-0 at their place...It's not quite meaningless, though a lot depends on how the other games pan out. If Millwall manage to grind out a win at home against Blackburn which is hardly unlikely, they'll be our opponents over 2 legs if we avoid defeat and personally I'd much rather face them than Coventry in these matches.
Should Millwall be up and in control at half-time then I'd either want us to put Coventry to the sword (OK, Akpom hitting 30 league goals for the season proper or us reclaiming the final title of Championship top scorers by outgunning Burnley in the last game AREN'T season defining, but both would be bloody nice) or at the very least grinding out an utterly tepid draw (which I imagine Coventry would have less qualms about as that's their likely PO berth still guaranteed)
Hugill has never outpaced anyone. I reckon Dan Barlaser at the top of the photo could still have caught him.View attachment 57296

Paddy hadn’t stopped, he’d just never read the danger and hadn’t started as usual.The ball is already running away from Hugill before he makes contact with Dijksteel.
If Dijksteel doesn't stop him, Lenihan wouldn't have slowed down and would have cleared it up.
McNair had already stopped before the contact was initiated, so I'd agree he wouldn't have stopped it, but I think Lenihan would have.
It's a yellow card for me.
I get what you mean about Luton mind. Wembley has a big pitch so plays to our strengths for the full match up more too.Totally agree. I'd much rather face Millwall than Coventry but really we need to play well on Monday for the full house and for momentum therefore i'd hope for a full strength team where possible.

So many permutations though but I fancy Millwall at home versus Blackburn who look so poor to me....
Oddly, I'd prefer to play Luton over 1 game at Wembley than over two games....
