Given that they've been in administration and the take over still hasn't been sorted (the EFL might not even accept them back under those circumstances) I'm not even sure they should be allowed to compete in the play offs.
Like others have said though, we'll be at home if we beat Oxford and we're not too bothered about who we play at home. We should be confident.

Under normal circumstances, Halifax would be the very last team I'd want to play but given they've played a game pretty much every other day now for a few weeks, we really should be hoping for them. Aldershot appear to have deteriorated since our last meeting and would also represent a decent match for us.

Gateshead and Southend would not be great fixtures for us, though our record against both in recent years has been 50/50.

Bring on whoever.

Yes. I've been thinking about it and come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter who it is as long as we get a home eliminator game so really a win tomorrow is very important.
Fourth or fifth too, I can see the pros and cons of playing Barnet or Bromley. If we can get to the final we'll most likely have to play both anyway.
As Alty Bri says, bring it on!
