Who do you WANT to win the play-offs?

by LUX » 10 May 2021 07:19

It is a consolation that three of the play-off participants will have wasted their time :? But which one would you like to succeed?

I vote Brentford. Have been a very exciting team for a few years, continuing to impress despite selling their best players.

Vaguely local but no animosity with us at all.

Second choice would be Barnsley.

Brentford, Barnsley, Swansea, Bournemouth in that order

No animossers towards any of them, at all, I just disapprove of the three relegated teams all going straight back up.

Plus Brentford really have set a good example of what can be achieved using a "Reading Way" style of thing, much better than we have managed in the last few years. IMO.

Barnsley mainly for being the underdogs and achieving the most this season given they weren't favoured by hardly anyone.

2nd choice Brentford

Last choice Bournemouth :x

Brentford. Good team. Get them out of this division ASAP. Bournemouth would get absolutely raided if they stay down and, unlike Brentford, they don't have the replacement culture.

League will be a lot easier without Brentford taking up a top spot.

Brentford been outstanding for a few seasons now, They don’t have a great record in the play-offs but surely this must be their time. Although it would be nice to go to their new stadium next season.

Probably Barnsley as reward for an incredible run.

However would be happy to see Brentford go up. They must be favourites as they are the only team going into the play-offs in any sort of form. Swansea have been poor for a while, Bournemouth have lost the last 3 without scoring and Barnsley have stuttered of late.

If Brentford did fail to go up, would be interesting to see how they rebuild again - Toney appears to be attracting interest and at some point a transfer or two will fail to spark.

Anybody but Bournemouth, prefer Brentford, they`ve done things the right way, a conveyor belt of top class strikers and a very strong squad without breaking the bank.
If Barnsley made it they would get totally annihilated in the big league.

Brentford - deserve a chance, but fear could bottle it against Bournemouth.

Bournemouth.

The fewer teams in our league receiving parachute payments the better for Reading.

Swansea, as they are such an utterly tedious team to watch.

Bournemouth look capable of totally bollocking up their transfer business though. They lose a few of their, very clearly, premier league quality players and they'll struggle to muck in. Like Stoke but with more money.

Barnsley, because I like their pep. And I really don't want the 3 relegated teams being promoted. That's not good for football right now, what with all the money and things. Give the Tykes a chance.

EDIT: I too share a respect for the way Brentford have gone about business. And kinda gutted we're not like that anymore.

Anyone but Bournmouth. They certainly have become an arrogant bunch.
Watched a few of their podcasts......seem to talk like it's their devine right to be in the Prem League.
So anyone but them but I guarantee they will be coming back down though, whoever it is.

I really really don’t want Barnsley going up. At least the other three play football rather than focusing on stopping the opposition play.
