Bully Wee Villa Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Think we usually have a separate thread for this. Championship Sunderland vs Luton Coventry vs Middlesbrough League One Peterborough vs Sheffield Wednesday Bolton vs Barnsley League Two Salford vs Stockport Bradford vs Carlisle Would like to see the Villa players get promoted with Boro but would settle for Sunderland going up. Worry that Coventry would raise their game against us like Wolves always do and we never ever win at Luton so f**k them. Don't really mind who goes up from League One and Anyone But Salford in League Two, please. Edited May 8, 2023 by Bully Wee Villa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Sometimes the Championship play-offs have a clearly outstanding team, but I don't think that's the case this season - I can see a plausible route for all four teams. Boro v Coventry will be an especially interesting semi-final, I think. Boro have the better and deeper collective squad, but Coventry have a great manager and two comfortably Premier League level players in Hamer and Gyokeres. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Good Scottish representation in the Championship ones with Hackney, Stewart and Campbell. I know Coventry have one or two, too, but no idea how good they are. I'm sure they'll follow the same pattern as the others: boring first leg, nonsense second leg and crap final. The second legs are always worth it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 For once I have a vested interest as my cousin is the Coventry captain. They did struggle in the second half against Boro today though, so they will need to step it up a level in the playoff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Really pleased to see Liam Kelly back and playing for Coventry at this level. I think he could have been a proper top end Championship player with a similar career to Craig Bryson if it hadn't been for the injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't help that he signed for Bristol City, then Derek McInnes who signed him got his books a week later. Might have worked out differently there if he had been coming back from injury under a manager who rated him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Middlesbrough to beat Sunderland Sheffield Wednesday to beat Bolton Stockport to beat Carlisle If I stick money on it then none of them will even reach the final 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Luton would be some laugh (probably make then play at Milton Keynes though) but think Boro will win it. Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford to win the others. Not that I watch EFL football these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 Annoying number of matches (including National League Final) on Saturdays so won't see them as at Villa/Edgbaston. Bugger. At least Clyde's second leg is on a Friday if we somehow make it through to the final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second legs are always worth it though. I'm still not 100% sure Hackney will commit to the Scotland senior team in the short term but would love to be proven wrong. Campbell is good but it's an area we are very strong in so he looks more of a squad player now. If Stewart* can continue his meteoric rise and become a PL quality striker getting regular goals that would be huge for us, especially as it looks the (capable and talented) Che Adams will be dropping down to the championship. Neither of the Coventry look like they will be international class although Rose still young enough to develop into one. *This also applies to everyones favourite weapon McBurnie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Watching Coventry v Middlesborough. The co-commentator has just said that you can't win a play off tie in the first leg but you can certainly lose it. An utterly ridiculous statement. If one team can lose it then by definition the other side have won it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one team can lose it then by definition the other side have won it. I thought the same. Try telling Airdrie or Annan that you can't win a play off tie in the first leg (or first half in Airdrie's case). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
