L1 Play Offs

[les@donr]

I've got a hunch that Yeovil might get to the final and win it. Can't see either Sheff U nor Brentford making it to the final. It will be Swindon v Yeovil. You've read it first hear

[RobTheRover]

I too had a hunch for Yeovil, but I'm now thinking none of them are in blistering form so its wide open for me.  Any of them could do it.  I reckon it will probably come down to whoever makes the least mistakes.

[SIRFRAN]

Warning....... James Hayter has previous

[nice one rovers]

I also have a hunch, and I had it first. I just never mentioned it.

I have a feeling that Sheff U will make the final.  What will happen then though god only knows.

I'm just glad I can relax and enjoy the whole thing 

[les@donr]

I think that only Yeovil have got into the playoffs without loss of form or off the field distractions e.g. Swindon. Both Sheff U and Brentford have diabolical records when it comes to play offs, can see both bottling it in the semis.  Hence my prediction of a Swindon v Yeovil final, and Yeovil running out winners, who would bet on James Hayter scoring the winning goal!

[streatham dave]

I'm thinking Brentford  Vs Yeovil final with heartbreak again for Brentford.

[Mattwak3]

Would love Hayter to score winner in the final

[les@donr]

Worth a punt!

[Dimples-D]

I hope Sheff Utd win the play-offs. Gimme a Yorkshire club over a southern club almost everytime.
If Huddersfield, Hull and Barnsley all stay in Championship and Blades make it, there will be some awesome derbies next season.

[les@donr]

Dimples, I would I agree with you most of the time, in having a fellow Yorkshire club promoted with us. However, this year is the tenth anniversary of us and Yeovil getting promoted from the Conference. So it would be good for Yeovil going up with us through the play offs, as we did 10 years ago.

[LincsRover]

I have reasons for wanting them all to go up:-

Brentford cos we met some good Brentford fans in the Griffin pub who we had good craic with (and they bought us drinks cos we were donny fans!) - would also like to go back to relive happy memories!!
Blades for another local derby and 6 easy points next season!
Swindon - my neighbour is a Swindon fan and doesn't drink so 2 trips again next season where I can fill my boots!!
Yeovil, cos I'd love to see Hayter score another winner at Wembley (and I always liked Byron Webster!).

I'm just glad I can watch them relaxed, not stressed and with a positive result guaranteed!!

 

[Filo]

Yeovil are my pick

Brentford are shot, confidence must have taken a battering

Sheff Utd can`t string a 3 game run together

Swindon have n`t been the same since Di Canio left

[colin cramb]

ive got 400 quid to come if swindon get promoted, just cant see it though, yeovil vs brentford final for me

[Jersey Rover]

Brentford for me. Far stronger than the other teams in the play offs. All about bottle now and after saturday think they will have something to prove not only to the fans but to themselves.
Man of the play offs, Trotta. Nailed on.

[Mark DRFC]

yeovil for me too, along with bradford and brighton in the other 2 playoffs!

[les@donr]

Perhaps we need to revisit this thread after tomorrows 1st Leg Semis.

[ss1953]

I hope it's anyone other than Sheffield united.

Because all the other 3 would be favourites to go down next season.

We are now a small fish in a big pond and need more minnows in there.

[les@donr]

ss1953, whose to say Sheff U wouldn't struggle in the Championship, there near neighbours Wednesday have struggled all this season and could still be relegated.

[Belle-Vue-Ghost]

First one tonight then.  Sheff U v Yeovil.  What score we going for?

Quite fancy the blades for a 2-1 win tonight.

Does the away goals rule apply in the play-offs?

[Pintolager]

1-1. No the away goals don't count in the playoffs 

[les@donr]

1-2 to Yeovil.

[LincsRover]

A very tense and nervy 0-0! Well, tense and nervy for them!! Will watch it with a big smile and a pint of fine ale!!

 

[RobTheRover]

Yeovil 2-0

[hoolahoop]

Yeovil 2-0 for me too, they should prove to be far too strong for the smaller of the massives. 

[The Dav]

Just had a fiver on Hayter at 8-1, first goal.

[GM-MarkB]

Captain Jones on the telly now looking rather smug...

I work with a couple of Blades mad geezers...work in the morning is going to be fun 

[LincsRover]

Happy days - enjoying the viewing with a lovely pint of Gower Gold pale ale!

 

[DaveDRFC]

Have the people of Sheffield just assumed they've been promoted because of how massive they are? There's no one there!

[LincsRover]

Well it's only little old Yeovil!! Come on Mr James Hayter - make 'em cry!!!
