The final two League One spots will be decided next week-end League One Play Off Final Huddersfield v Sheffield Utd - Loser stays in League One League Two Play Off Final Cheltenham v Crewe - Winner goes up to League One So who would you prefer to win the Play Off Finals?
That's tough Dev, especially between Udders and the Blades. I think that Sheffield and Cheltenham wins would suit us best. If Huddersfield have to spend another year in L1, they would find it harder to hold onto their best players than Sheffield would.
I think Utd will win. Huddersfield look certain to lose Jordan Rhodes next season and won't be the same force. The main threats for Pompey next season will be MK Dons and Coventry (assuming they get taken over.) Now that Chaniari looks like stabilising the club , I think Portsmouth should have nothing to fear from the other teams in this league and would expect you to make a quick return to the Championship. Without Chaniari, I would have to admit that I could have seen the whole scenario imploding but most Pompey fans must be looking at that table and thinking if Utd get promoted, there are no teams who Pompey should fear.
I want Crewe to get promoted. I've always had a soft spot for them. It was always run the proper way under Dario Gradi - developing players within its own system instead of paying out for transfers and making a profit by selling on to bigger clubs - and they played good football.
Agree, we do not want to face Sheff. Utd. next season, and as Ian has said, Huddersfield will most probably lose Jordan Rhodes during the Summer, which will weaken them considerably. Would be good to see Marlon Pack at FP next season with Cheltenham.
am bucking the trend & hoping that Huddersfield make to the championship. Their fans have suffered the heartache of two play-off defeats, and while I have no dislike of Sheff Utd, I think their fans deserve a break. As for Pompey having nothing to fear, I think you need to reserve judgment until you know what team MA is likely to have around him; I have total respect for him - he has behaved impecably under difficult circumstances. Not sure that labelling Chanrai as a liar (someone at PST) is a wise move. Alienating him when he is likely to own the club again is bad judgement - not likely to endear him to Portsmouth & isuspect he has a very long memory - except when it comes to paying the small creditors!
