DTLW
Funny you should choose those three, all three have been managed by Southend boss Phil Brown. Pointless fact, I know.
Always enjoy watching the play-offs as a neutral. It must be hard to watch, knowing that these games will define your season, but it will be the best way to go up, for the supporters anyway, with a win at Wembley. I'm hoping that Derby or Wigan go up from the Championship, but it really is a lottery. Derby rightly the favourites I think, and I usually like seeing the 3rd place team go up. Peterborough are always a good shout in the play-offs as they have so much experience in these games, but I think Grayson could do it with Preston. Would like to see York go up, as Nigel Worthington has done a great job there, although I would be happy if Southend win it for you DTLW!
I'm hoping Brighton, Orient and Southend win, but I suspect Wigan, Preston and Southend will actually do it.
I'm getting sick and tired of hearing yet another set of supporters singing our song. Now it's... Oh When The RAMS Go Marching In..!
Likewise, I always go for the southern teams and I've had a soft spot for Southend since the final game of the season in our playoff season and Lloyd James plays for Orient. I think that Wigan have the momentum to make it, not sure about the other leagues.
