Barkermush Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Sheff Utd and Huddersfield aren't too clever when it comes to playoffs, wouldn't surprise me if Stevenage do come up.. but I hear MK Franchise have a strong team in League One. Let's hope they do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo7 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I just can't see Stevenage in the Championship. Sheff United I reckon will be feeling sorry for themselves that they've missed out on automatic promotion to their rivals, so can't see them winning. MK Dons maybe, but I just think Huddersfield have more quality, and can see them doing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man11 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Ideally Stevenage and Franchise FC to go up so we don't have to play them next season whilst Huddersfield and Sheffield United go up so it's a weaker league next year That said Mk Dons would be a local(ish) game. Whilst Huddersfield will sell Rhodes if they don't go up and Sheff United wont have Ched Evans or be competing with their local rivals to get as many pts as possible. So Stevenage to go up please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWLSFAN Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Has MLG gone yet? Safe to enter? I don't think United will be joining us, they've just not looked right without Ched Evans.

Sure, I'll tell Nicky Hammond to sanction a loan/transfer immediately. To be honest, apart from popping up with the odd goal, he hasn't done much for us, just doesn't seem to be able to keep a ball under control. Weird, because he's excelled on loan to League 1 clubs three times. Hopefully regular football in the Championship will improve him and we can fleece you for a good fee.

TigerChris Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 So, the opening odds are out to win the league next year, obviously doesn't currently include those in the playoffs, or those not yet relegated. Leicester 8/1 Leeds 10/1 Wolves 10/1 Brighton 12/1 Charlton 16/1 Sheff Wed 16/1 M'Boro 18/1 Burnley 20/1 Ipswich 25/1 Hull 25/1 Forest 25/1 Derby 33/1 Watford 40/1 Bristol City 66/1 Palace 66/1 Milwall 66/1 P'boro 100/1 Barnsley 200/1 Can only assume the recent success of Southampton has made the bookies put Charlton/Sheff Wed shorter odds than teams like us and Boro.

Benjani'sBootCleaner Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Why were West Hams fans doing the conga winning a Playoff Semi Final? Possibly the oddest thing I've seen in a while. They should be embarrassed being in the Playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjani'sBootCleaner Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 They are pretty stupid then, we'll be around foreshure. According the Sun (Yes I know), the City Council are considering offering a 7 figure loan to the club. I personally think they should offer that to the Trust to boost their bid. Not really fussed whether it's true or not. The club will be around, either owned by Chanrai or him taking a huge hit on his Floating Charge and the Trust taking over.

G-Man11 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Sorry to upset a nerve Just found it strange when I was posting the odds in the League 1 thread earlier that you guys hadn't been included.

Gizmo7 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 That was such a solid and professional display from West Ham, in both legs to be fair. I was expecting them to be doing that to teams week in week out all season, but they just ended up drawing far too many games this year. I'm hoping for a Birmingham win on Wednesday, which would set up a cracking final. When is the final by the way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjani'sBootCleaner Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Haha.. we're already building for next season with Izale McLeod. Bottom of League two, to the biggest club in League one. I fear for Donny tbh, I don't think they'll be back in the Championship anytime soon. Infact I think the league will be quite easy to get out of. Especially for clubs like Huddersfield and MK Dons. 3 clubs coming down all with money problems and tbf all three could have points deductions during the season. It won't be as strong as it has been the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Hacker Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 TBH to me Cardiff look far worse than when they lost to Blackpool, this is the only year where they've been in the playoffs that I haven't expected them to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man11 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yeah I think it's going to be a very open league with no clear favourites if Sheff United go up via the play-offs. With Huddersfield bound to sell Rhodes I suppose Mk Dons will be favourites for the league Looking at the average attendances and even with our shockingly low total for this season we'd only be 2nd behind you next season if Sheff United go up. edit - and yeah I really don't think Doncaster will be back in the championship anytime soon, if ever again.
