Am I right in thinking away goals count for nothing in the playoffs, and it's just down to the overall score over 2 legs?

Yes.
That's why they have pens if it's a tie, no matter the away goal situation.

Re play off semi finals. Been made aware that it is not definite that if #lufc finish the season in 3rd that they will play first the following Saturday. Police & safety issues have to be taken into account along with rivalries which could mean the 4th v 5th game plays first.

That of course has knock on effects for the 2nd leg which the first tie plays on Tuesday & the second tie on the Wednesday. FL say they will try to finalise details ASAP once the teams are known after Sunday’s conclusion to the regular campaign after speaking to relevant parties

TBH I hope they do as a Wednesday home game suits me and we would know who the other finalist would be.
