Championship/ League One Play Offs

So who do we want to get promoted to the Premiership and who do we want to join us from League One.

 

Personally I would like to see Cardiff go up as I think they are the strongest of the 4 Championship play off teams.

 

From League One I would rather have MK Dons or Bournemouth as Huddersfield and Peterborough are the strongest.

I want either Cardiff or Swansea to go up, as I do not fancy a 2 trips to Wales (not that I would go) I would prefer a trip to Forest & Reading though, so do not want either of these 2 to go up, but I really think either Reading or Swansea will go up.

 

From League 1 I really do not know. I want Huddersfield to go up as I think in the race for second place they have been fantastic and very professional about it. Bournemouth for me do not have a hope, their form is terrible and Posh and Huddersfield will take them apart on their day. Cannot stand MK Dons. My head says Peterborough on this one in a Huddersfield v Posh final.....I hope it is Huddersfield though.

Cardiff to go up to prem

I think Huddersfield certainly deserve to go up however I think their fans are in for further disappointment as Fergie Jnr and his team will be promoted to the Championship. Fergie Jnr will then get Man U reserves from daddy.

In all likelihood they will lose CMS and Boyd even if they do go up- this will turn them into a poor force going forward to add to an already exisiting diabolical defence!!

Would like to see Dave Jones's Cardiff get promoted, so close in the past few seasons but suspect it will be Forest.

I want Huddersfield to go up from div 1 because they are the better club with a decent manager, don't like MK, don't want Posh just because of Ferguson, just don't like him but probably Bournemouth will make it from sixth. How many times have we seen a team loads of points behind the third placed yet scrape through the play offs,may be a year too soon financially though.

I have Reading, Peterborough, Torquay and AFC Wimbledon to be promoted. I feel I will get 3 out of 4 which of course is not good enough. I have a soft spot for Torquay so hence them being in there, but I think Shrewsbury will go up in league 2.

Does not happen that often, it is pretty even, and the team with the best finish to the last few games of the season normally go up. Posh had the best last day!

I hope the Swans go up to the Prem it was only 3 seasons ago they were league 1 they play decent football & I have a mate who is a Swans fan. Cardiff can do 1 they are a horrible club with nasty fans how they got away with playing Bellamy when they cant pay there bills is beyond me they are the Skates of Wales.

 

I would like to see the Cherries go up to the Championship as my Nephew is scholar with them & it will be a brilliant effort to get back to back promotion however I do accept a large proportion of there fans are nobs & they hate us muppets if not Cherries then

Posh as I have a Posh supporting mate & they have been good value & entertainment this season

Here is the stats from the 2nd flight of football to get into the big time.

 

I've had a look at the last six League games for each of the four clubs in the previous 16 seasons of play-offs in this division (Now NPC) and found the following frequencies of winning the play-off final:

 

Club with best form - 5 times

Club with second best form - 4 times

Club with third best form - 4 times

Club with worst form - 3 times

 

and since the playoff's started.

 

3rd place - 12 teams made the final.

4th place - 13 teams made the final.

5th place - 10 teams made the final.

6th place - 11 teams made the final.

 

and to go up.

 

3rd place - 8 teams. (35%)

5th place - 6 teams. (26%)

6th place - 5 teams. (22%)

4th place - 4 teams. (17%)

 

Looks to me like the 3rd place team have the edge on winning and being promoted.

 

But really it is all just a lottery!!

nPC: Want Cardiff to go up as they are definitely the strongest team, think Reading may do it.

 

League One: Want Bournemouth to come up with us but think Peterborough and Huddersfield will do it - though it's too close to call. Depends which Peterborough defence shows up...

 

Premiership: I'd like to see us joined by Blackpool (because Holloway is a cockle), West Brom (the perrenial boing boing), and West Ham (for lolz).

just watching Forest v swans. Only just realised the Swans have 10 men. You wouldnt of thought it. For some reason you tend to like Swansea, but then you realise, theyre Welsh.

 

Sent off and there wasn't even one minute on the clock! That player will be getting some hate mail from Swansea fans if they don't go up...

The commentators have spent the whole match since then jizzing over what a good job the ref has done. It was never a red though. Very harsh especially in the first minute.

The guy that got fouled for the sending off is a cheating turd. I bet he gets grilled at Swansea, and hopefully his legs broken.

Huddersfield to go up. They 100% deserve it and whilst Peterborough are probably 2nd strongest, even if they do go up CMS will be gone as will Boyd so they will get humiliated week in, week out in the Championship. At least Huddersfield will give it a go.

If Peterborough were to go up and then they sold CMS and Boyd for around a total of 4 million£ or so I don't expect they'd just trouser the money and play with what was left.

Plenty of players would be available to them, maybe even better than those which they'd sold. We don't have either Boyd or CMS, does that mean we're going to be crap in the NPC though? of course it doesn't. There are a lot of really crap sides in the NPC and most of them wouldn't humiliate Posh even without CMS+Boyd.Pompey are sh*t and have about 14 players, still finished about mid-table though.

My bets are for Forest, Peterborough and Shrewsbury to go up.

 

Id favour Huddersfield but i dont know how missing out on automatic promition will affect them, since Peterborough have stepped off the gas in the last few weeks.

Don't see Forest beating Swansea now, maybe if it goes to penalties.

Watching last night I feel we can do very well in that league. Go through the teams and compare our players like for like and I can't see that we are very far away from them, a couple of good signings and a good season could be in prospect. Nathan Dyer as MOM, Swansea's player of the season tells me that AOC and Lallana can match or better Dyer.

To my Cardiff supporting mate's diappointment I reckon the Jacks (Swansea) will go up. According to him and a lot on their boards their players are a bunch of unmotivated overpaid wasters, who have lost form at the wrong time. I think Reading might turn them over tonight, but I'm not sure about over two legs. See Final as Cardiff v Swansea. Will Wembley be left standing??

Lotsa pace on display of the 2 games.. I think we're pretty set besides that though. We have alot of quality, we got outa League 1 without too much pace.

we very much need pace up front and at the back..or we will struggle in more games that we should

Swansea are clearly the best team in the playoffs and Cardiff are in serious financial trouble if they dont go up, Bothroyd will leave on a free and so will their 5-6 loan players. Id say Cardiff are the ones you want to stay down ahead of everyone.

I want Swansea to go up because I hate Cardiff and it would be hilarious, and from League One, Bournemouth f'sure as it's a nice nearby away and they'll be hilariously bottom next season.

 

As I type AFCB have a penalty and are 1-0 down...

 

 

...which they missed.

Stewards had to hold back four or five middle-aged BMuff fans who were getting at a Huddersfield player trying to take a corner. Not sure what he did that deserved that, but they weren't pulling punches with their abuse.

oh change the record for two minutes will you. 9k is ok for such a small crap club eh?

 

Agree should be a sell out, but trying to get our local population to the ground is a perrenial struggle. (no mobility scooter jokes either!!..)

It doesn't change the fact that there were more people there for Saints than for the Play-Off Semi-Final, what a piddling small-club mentality that shows.

Well if you are trying to shed this arrogant tag you have, that isn't deserved - it isn't working.

 

I don't think it shows a small club mentality - it shows there are too many Prem supporting muppets in our area. And people from our area who didn't have enough backbone to support their local team and went up the M27.

You had 10,008 at Cherries vs Saints.

 

Today was a playoff semi final, and there were 1,000 empty seats in the home end ffs. :D

The problem you have, IMO, is a large percentage of the Bournemouth population moved there, rather than being born and growing up there. It therefore can't be counted as the home team of many people living there.

Just goes to show that everything they were crying about (we aren't a big club, it isn't their cup final etc) was all a load of rubbish.

 

"were there to see Southampton"
