Sheff Utd for me

Winstonswhite · Post by **Winstonswhite** » Sat May 03, 2025 2:39 pm

Sunderland quite easily

Have to fancy Sheff U. Sunderland in no form at all.

Can’t see Blackburn having much of a chance

Rovers?

Sorry I thought you meant league one playoffs in 26/27

Sheff utd cocked up loads of times, Coventry for me.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat May 03, 2025 2:54 pm

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

Sheff Utd v Sunderland final

Not sure on the winner

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat May 03, 2025 3:01 pm

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

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Sat May 03, 2025 3:01 pm

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.

I think Sheffield United will finally break their play off hoodoo.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sat May 03, 2025 3:07 pm

Sunderland have lost 5 on trot. Didn't realise it was that bad.

Sheff Utd vs. Coventry final.

Brizzle City look bang average. Sunderland stopped playing about 2 months ago.

Beagle · Post by **Beagle** » Sat May 03, 2025 3:12 pm

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.

ClaretAL · Post by **ClaretAL** » Sat May 03, 2025 3:22 pm

Sunderland for me

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.

Sheffield v Coventry final at Wembley?

Can’t see past Sheffield united to be fair. Sunderland on a really bad run.

Sorry!

I'd like Bristol City but I think it will be Coventry.

Who cares

sjb · Post by **sjb** » Sat May 03, 2025 5:28 pm

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.

Tribesmen · Post by **Tribesmen** » Sat May 03, 2025 7:58 pm

Have to say Coventry have the best form going into these games so going with them .

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Sat May 03, 2025 8:10 pm

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

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat May 03, 2025 8:20 pm

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.

distortiondave · Post by **distortiondave** » Sat May 03, 2025 8:48 pm

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

dougcollins · Post by **dougcollins** » Sat May 03, 2025 8:58 pm

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.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat May 03, 2025 8:58 pm

Whoever gets through will finish bottom next season

2020visionofleeds · Post by **2020visionofleeds** » Sat May 03, 2025 8:59 pm

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.

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Sat May 03, 2025 9:02 pm

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

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Sat May 03, 2025 9:16 pm

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

Middle-agedClaret · Post by **Middle-agedClaret** » Sat May 03, 2025 9:19 pm

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

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat May 03, 2025 9:21 pm

I wonder who Hutchy fancies for the play offs?

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Sat May 03, 2025 9:43 pm

Sheffield United have been the 3rd best team, I think they have got to be favourites

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Sat May 03, 2025 9:56 pm

Sheff v cov final and then its who ever turns up on he day and has the belief

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Sat May 03, 2025 10:02 pm

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 .

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Sat May 03, 2025 10:06 pm

i'm hoping Sunderland get to the final. I have a couple of Sunderland supporting mates, and we may get tickets for the final.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat May 03, 2025 10:09 pm

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.

Damo · Post by **Damo** » Sat May 03, 2025 10:23 pm

Sheffield United hopefully.
I would have gone for Bristol City, but Bristol folk are unbearable

Goobs · Post by **Goobs** » Sat May 03, 2025 10:38 pm

Coventry Sheffield final for me with Coventry nicking it by a goal.

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.
