Hull poor but through
RE: The Championship play-offs - Lord Snooty - 17-05-2016
Whichever of the teams goes through, they'll be straight back down.
RE: The Championship play-offs - Amelia Chaffinch - 17-05-2016
Well, the odd one gets through, Leicester for instance.

Certainly they will be the bookies favorites for the drop but it seems some teams now going up are holding their own, like Bournemouth and Watford. The key now is how much are you prepared to spend? Norwich didn't spend much and it cost them whereas Bournemouth spent quite a bit. Burnley didn't spend much when they went up and came down. The other key with the prem is now with the money you can set up your club to continually challenge even if you do come down, just like Burnley and to a lesser extent Hull have done.
Either way I will happily take being in a position to give it a go!!!!

Leicester went up as champions though. The play off winners usually come straight back down. Who were the last play off winner to stay the course? Swansea?

2011- Swansea
2012 - West Ham
2013 - Palace
3 of the last 5 PO winners are still in the prem!!

As for Derby. Leave Butterfield on the bench and play the over rated, freaky white haired kid, you get what you deserve. Bugger all.
As for Butterfield. Why on earth did you go there just for the same things to happen again as at Boro and Norwich? Pillock!

Well they did tell us when they sacked Clement that they wanted to get back to the Derby way, obviously losing in the playoffs is the Derby Way!!!!
Seriously though, sack the inexperienced Clement while they are 6 points off automatic promotion and replace him with the even more inexperienced Wassell has to go down as the strangest move in the Championship this season!! Showed no ambition to theeir players or the fans or the rest of football and it was at that point they failed to get promoted even though they spent about 30m!!!
I don't believe Hull spent much and we spent approx 7-8m, pales into insignificance when you look at what Derby, Boro and to a lesser extent Burnley all spent.

Norwich through money away on rubbish and Bournemouth pretty much the same although Bournemouth where able to put down a style of football that some teams in the prem couldnt handle ? unlike Norwich who struggle to put down any system of football whatsoever ? Borro for me are going to drop because they too dont have any style apart from hope they win ? Burnley will not and neither will we as the teams back bone is in place !! Hull will though after watching that shit the triped out today !!
RE: The Championship play-offs - SHEP_HTAFC - 18-05-2016
Well I'm hoping Sheff Wed go up. Can't stand fat head Bruce.
I thought Hull were lucky last night.....could easily have lost that game by more than 2.
It serves Derby right though that they sack a manager because promotion isn't a priority...but playing the Derby way is.!!!
Although I thought Wassell showed some class walking through that pitch invasion to applaud the Derby fans.
