Who do we want to win the Play Offs?

Its now confirmed that this year's League One play offs will be contested between Huddersfield, Peterborough, MK Dons and Bournemouth. But who would we most like to win them? Personally as we should be gunning for promotion next year I want whichever team will be the biggest threat to us next season to get promoted leaving us with less competition.

I think this team has got to be Huddersfield.

Bournemouth are still on a high from their promotion last year and have been on a incredible run, but I get the feeling if they lose in the play offs this year their bubble might burst and all that momentum they have could fizzle out. I can't see them being right up their next season if they stay down.

If Peterborough don't go up I can't see the likes of Mackail-Smith, McCann and Boyd staying (yes please Mr Mandaric) and I'm not sure they have the money to replace players of this quality so they are unlikely to be as strong next season.

MK Dons are financially stable, have an excellent manager and coaching set up and probably wouldn't have to sell too many players if they don't go up, but its also unlikely they splash really big cash next year. On a personal note they are a revolting club who should never have been allowed to come into being and the further up the pyramid they get the more embarassing it is for English football.

Which leaves us with Huddersfield who have one of the richest chairmen in the league as well as a good young manager, and look likely to finish just three points behind Southampton this season and ten ahead of Peterborough. I can see them competing with us in the transfer market this summer and having a real go at League 1 next season if they stay down.

So go on Huddersfield!

Bournemouth, couldnt get down there this season and the rest are manageable away trips, even on a Tuesday night.

Swapping Southampton, Brighton, Bournemouth and Bristol for the likes of Preston, Blades, Scunny, Bury and Chesterfield, working out pretty well so far.

Huddersfield

I don't.

I don't like them.

I think it might knock the stuffing out of 'em if they miss out again this year and it'd be good to get revenge for this year's results as we charge to promotion. :biggrin:

Our biggest game this year due to closeness but nowhere near as big as they made out.

Can't stand Lee Clark either. He's a nob.

Bournemouth for me. Would be a great achievement for them and less distance to travel for us. (Sorry to the Wednesdayites living down there).

Whether it shuts Huddersfield fans up or not it's better for us if they go up.

1, Huddersfield

2, Peterborough

3, MK Dons

4, Bournemouth

The order of which teams I'd prefer to go up.

Indeed I have no great love of Huddersfield but getting them out of the division will be a big help for us in winning promotion next season, which has got to be what we all want!

From a football and promotion perspective, Huddersfield because they will undoubtedly be a big threat if they are still in League 1 next season.

I would agree on Huddersfield

Huddersfield

Bournemouth won't do it, they're just not the side they were anymore and I can see them struggling against a Peterborough or a Huddersfield. I think with their thin bare squad etc, the play offs will be a bit too much for them

MK Dons shouldn't even be in this division.
