Just been looking at who's got the chance to go up through the play offs.
I'll do them one by one.

Nottingham Forest:

A side that have done tremendously well under Billy Davies, after a rocky few years, for all there negative tactics away from home its took them into the play offs with games to spare, strong favourites for me.

Cardiff City:

A decent outfit, but always seem to mess up at the most important times like last season at Hillsborough, they have gone one better this season and have actually qualified for the play offs this time around, it will be one step too far for the Bluebirds though in my opinion.

Leicester City:

A side who i have a soft spot for, Nigel Pearson has done well at the Walkers stadium especially when you consider his relationship with Milan Mandarić and the lack of funds he has given told Nige, they have everything set up ground wise to be a premiership club but players wise its a different story altogether.
Too early for them just yet one thinks.

Blackpool:

What a dream season for the tangerines, they were most peoples tips for the trap door and have done brilliantly, the amount of progress they have made is unbelievable almost, they opened there new stand the other week and things are really looking up for them, not sure how they would gain many points in the Premier league though.

Swansea City

A side who are in my opinion pretty lucky to be where they are, there scoring record is atrocious, but that aside there defensive record is notable.
Teams will be wary to face the Swans, and there just the sort of side who could end up sneaking promotion.


All in all i reckon Nottingham Forest me, there good at both ends of the pitch and with Billy Davies in charge they have a fella who has been there seen it and done it in the play offs........

Cardiff for me an'all.
If Earnshaw and Tyson buzz in the playoffs, then yes I agree with ya Corks.
I just reckon Cardiff are stronger at the moment.
I hope I'm wrong, I have a soft spot for Forest.
All down to a young lady in 1973 :o :hihi:

The second leg is at the city ground which i think is always better.

Would love to see Blackpool go up just to see the likes of Man Utd and Liverpool going to Bloomfield Road... though if they don't make it, they'll probably fall away next season, so one less potential contender for the playoffs next time out (whereas Cardiff will be up there again if they fail). Really don't want Forest to go up though...

It's going to be interesting if the final turns out to be Blackpool v Leicester.

I think Holloway might have a few words more than normal to say.

This is the main reason why I'd like to see Blackpool go up, Holloway's post match interviews will be hilarious.
