Who do we want to get 2nd place?

Personally I can't stand Brentford as they are a team of divers who seem to think they are better than they are (the players rather than the fans). WBA have been up there with us all season and in Bilic seem to have a coach who is respectful of Bielsa and Leeds. Fulham have never really looked like getting 2nd but could end up there which is remarkable given how they seemed completely out of it after Brentford and then us beat them. It would be funny in a way if they pipped the other 2.

My thinking exactly.

Think WBA will do it, would be my preferred choice too, Brentford to win POs. If W Brom do drop in to playoffs they will struggle like we did last season and I think Fulham will go up as well.

No more London clubs in the Premiership please there are enough of them already, so WBA and Forest through the play offs I suppose.

West Brom will surely do it from here although I've rarely been impressed with them this season, like Brentford they also have a set of divers who have cheated a few goals/results too! The baggies have remained the top two all season so it would be a major shock to them if they fall at the final hurdle. Brentford are undoubtedly the best footballing side after LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS, their achievement of a possible automatic promotion place is nothing short of remarkable for a club in the shadow of the more fashionable London clubs around them. I can see the baggies & the bees finishing off with a victory leaving Brentford to battle out the play-offs!

I predicted Leeds to win the championship with West Brom to finish as runners-up & Brentford to earn a play-off place so I'm not changing my mind now

Of the three contenders I would like to see Brentford go up.

However, don’t think they will as I can’t see WBA slipping up in their final game.

Play-off wise I can see Cardiff coming through to get that 3rd spot.

I have gone with the Baggies. Slaven Bilic seems like a decent geezer.

Good point Byebye, less long trips for us travelling fans & we are all aware of our horrendous record in London so Brentford & Fulham failing would be sweet

Please God, don't let our bogey team Cardiff win the playoffs. I hope WBA go up in 2nd place and Fulham to go up via the playoffs (got a soft spot for Craven Cottage). That should wipe the smug grin off Thomas Frank's face (plus he would lose all his best players

)

Agree Norfolk they've been average at best since the return to football

Just feel they have just done enough to get over the line

The bees have some good un's with the premiership clubs surely watching their progress

Baggies for me, I have two very good friends who are baggies fans and are suffering/stressing right now

Baggies second, forest up in the playoffs as they are a proper team with decent support. Fed up of half filled grounds and tinpot teams in the top division

I agree Gandi one of our bogey teams and I have no particular desire to see Cardiff win through.

However, with a degree of selfish self interest (and assuming we can even attend games) it would be an easy to get to/on my doorstep match to watch.

Hull City was my nearest ground for me 24 miles away, if we had remained in the championship that one had gone!

ER is the nearest ground in the PL for me (62 miles) with Bramall Lane (72 miles) away

I'll go with this. Better for Leeds. We've got rid of the long journey to Norwich, possibly Bournemouth and Watford, to not have to go to Brentford Fulham or Cardiff/Swansea is good for us too.

WBA. There's a lot history there. I like history. So I'll go with WBA.

I predicted Leeds would win the title followed by Fulham**, so I voted for Fulham as the question asked who we would like to see finish second. I think WBA will win out, though.

** I had West Brom 6th and Brentford 9th. Shows how much I know.

SG90 · Post by **SG90** » Tue Jul 21, 2020 6:13 pm

WBA. They've been up there all season and deserve it, plus Bilic has always been respectful to Bielsa.

Brentford are far too cocky, both players and fans, and have had it easy in the run in, while Fulham are part of that whole "Leeds are falling apart" brigade, so eff em.

Can see Cardiff winning the playoffs sadly, we just can't get shut of them.
