So who is gonna be promoted to the Premiership this year?

If Palace win tonight, it will be Brighton vs Palace in the playoffs :eek:

I actually need this to happen, as if forest finish 5th, the playoff dates will be changed due to Forest not being able to play on Friday nights or something, so I will need 2 nights off work. At the moment, I don't need any time off.

It is funny... The recent Brighton/palace game was moved to Sunday at 12.45 so as to avoid trouble.... Now we face the prospect of two games on Monday night and Friday night!

I hope Forest make the playoffs, I just hope they don't finish 5th!

I can really see Palace losing out tomorrow

... They only drew with Millwall, so it puts them on 69.if they lose to Peterborough, who desperately need a win, and Bolton and Forest win, they won't make it.

3.Watford
4.Brighton
5.Bolton
6.Forest
7.Palace

I would imagine Brighton vs wolves will be delayed. Loads of fans still waiting at the station... Bloody Brighton festival!

Leicester were quite good odds to get in to the playoffs before todays games...they certainly looked the least likely!

Pighardia · 4 May 2013 at 17:08

Congratulations to Hull fans!...Watford couldn't even get the win they needed in the end anyway. Tbh, I really wanted Watford to ge the automatic place, as I don't want them in the play-offs!

As expected, Brighton vs Palace

...I can't wait!

4th place is a very good season for us. Over the moon atm, promotion would be a bonus

Can't see anyone stoping Watford tbh. They'll walk all over Leicester I imagine and can't see you or Palace being any trouble.

Watford are the only team that have really outplayed us this season, but it will be a one-off...all bets are off. So long as we get past Palace I'll be happy

I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I've never been to Wembley, new or old.

One thing to consider though- Deeney got sent off, so Watford will be without him for the play-offs

It was a second yellow, he'll only be missing for the 1st leg against Leicester

Aah, right. Still, I shouldn't be worrying about any of the teams really... And If we get promoted, we will be facing much better strikers that Deeney

Surely Leicester can't win the playoffs after the form they have been in over the second half of the season!

You don't belong in a championship thread anymore!

Certainly couldn't grumble if Watford won the playoffs, they came third after all, and I am not a fan of the playoffs tbh.

Looking at the table, seeing us 4 points off of 2nd, and I am just starting to rue all of those draws we had this season. Specifically against Charlton where we battered them, and hit the bar in injury time, and Forest, where Casper the friendly ghost-keeper let one through his legs.

At the end of the day though, 4th is a great, achievement for the club, and I would enjoy another season in the championship as just as much, if not more than the Premiership.

Absolute minimum though, is making sure Palace don't go up!
