All had home matches and only Coventry won. So I’ll go with them although I’d prefer a Robins win.

None of them are in top form so it's anyones. Bristol please as they are likely to have a smaller budget

I can't pick it, either semis, wouldn't be surprised at a Bristol v Coventry final or any combination of who is in it really. Looking forward to it all immensely.

Sheff Utd vs. Coventry final.
Brizzle City look bang average. Sunderland stopped playing about 2 months ago.

I haven’t had a look at today’s other results yet but I’m assuming Blackburn will have comfortably won what was essentially a dead rubber for Sheffield Utd. I’d back Rovers to go all the way to Wembley and win it now.

I’m worried because they’re in terrific form.

All 4 teams in the playoffs have had a poor last few weeks. I think sheffield will do it this time but failing that I would like Bristol to go up.

The Fiddlers fans have decided that today's scapegoat is some no mark player called Dennis they have on loan from Forest. Blades changed their keeper and three quarters of their back four & fiddlers created next to nothing.

I don't particularly care who but ... I would love Bristol City to succeed for Twiney and Wells etc.
Cov fans are shoite so hope they fail.
Sunderland ... My Grandad was a vicar in Sunderlamd 100+ years ago and used to watch them.
Sheff U have been a force this season but would be funny if they fail "AGAIN" .
So its a resounding Brizzle from me

Sheff Utd looked far too good for Coventry a few weeks ago. If Utd play like they did that night they will be at Wemberleee.

Looking at those fixtures I fancy TBC to win all three.

They have been cruising saving themselves to take the play off place in the Premier league easily the best side we have played this season

I never thought much about Coventry until we encountered their whinging, self entitled, hard done to contingent this season.
My only hope for the play-offs is that they fail.
And that's without mentioning Frank Lampard. Oops.

I think I worked out that since the prem started, the third placed club gets promoted 38% of the time. In this case, with 90 points, it would be a surprise if Sheffield did not get there. (Leeds were the team with 90 points last season who failed to go up, though the play off winners Southampton finished close behind on 87 - not that it did them any favours.)
As long it’s not our friend Fat Frank I don’t really care, tbh.

Id like it to be Brizzle but I think FRANK LAMPARD's Coventry City will do it unfortunately.

Sheff Utd have lost form in the last half dozen games but they have the squad to walk it through. For me the 4 in the play offs are considerably worse than the qualifying clubs in recent years

I’d really like it to be Bristol.
I really hope it’s not FL’sC.

I think Sheffield United will go up. They’ve got the best squad.
For a long time I thought Sunderland would be a force in the play offs, but they’ve fallen off a cliff.
Coventry are inconsistent and Bristol City might be one of the worst sides to get into the play offs for a few years .

It has to be Sheff Utd, they are the least out of form.
Sunderland appear to be resting players but that could backfire on them.

I would not be surprised if Stockport County came through the League One playoffs. They finished in front of Wrexham twice when getting promoted from both the National League and League Two. Dave Challinor knows how to get the job done.
