I'd of picked blackpool but i don't see them making it, so i'll have the swans. Couldn't score in a brothel but it will be hard work

Out of that lot, boro. But they won't make it. Don't fancy playing either of the Welsh teams, or Leicester, but we're going to have to...

Yeah, Swansea please!

Don't really care anymore. I only expected a mid-table, so no matter what happens this season has surpassed my expectations, hopes and dreams. Promotion will be amazing and I will be delirious, but even if we do fail I won't be annoyed. Disappointed? A bit, but it's still bright for next year.

You have missed off Reading. They are the team I least want to meet; if they manage to make it they will be on a hell of a run.

I though the welsh would be the biggest threat to Forest, but if Forest can play the 2nd leg at home we should just about scrape it, as for Wembley, the pitch would suit the pace of Forest!

The only team I'm slightly weary of is Leicester. But on our day we could take any of those

Swansea would be my choice, but I've got a sneaky feeling it'll be blackpool.

I'd take Leicester over two legs. Slow defence, punching above their weight in the league (admittedly, I think we are too), and whilst the 3-0 at their place looks bad, that was a flattering result.
In fact, I don't think we should fear anyone.

I'd take Leicester. Would rather get the hard one out the way over 2 legs as opposed to meeting them in any final.
If we could get rid of them in the semis it would feel a lot better for any Wembley trip.
The only good thing is that if we somehow don't finish 3rd we can't play whoever finished 3rd as we now can't finish in 6th. If that makes any sense!

Swansea, their attack is nowhere near good enough to trouble us and I think we would keep two clean sheets over the two legs. I really couldn't see us drawing blanks against any team either, even if their defence would be hard to breach.
I would like to 2nd this motion.
Without being arrogant, after 43 games of the season we are sitting 3rd by 5 points. With our run-in, I would be very disappointed if we didn't finish there. Therefore, we have proved over a long, hard season that we are the 3rd best team in the league. Why should we fear anyone?
We shouldn't, but the biggest danger by far (which I don't for one minute think the players will think) is that we think we "deserve" to go up and lose focus. Billy's main aim from now until the 1st semi-final is to not allow the players to think that.
Bottom line for me is that if we play to 80-100% of what we can, we will go up. Cardiff are the next best team in the Playoffs and we would've beaten them if we weren't playing at 50% (or less IMO) of our potential. With the added pressure of a Playoff game (be it a semi or the final), I would like to think that Billy would have the team firing on all cylinders and playing well enough to beat anyone we are likely to meet.
Blackpool/Swans in the semi's and Cardiff in the final is my prediction. If we're gonna shit ourselves and run away at the prospect of that, then we may as well not bother at all.
U REDDDDSSS!!!
Don't care. As long as we get through the away leg and still have a fighting chance then im confident of reaching the final.
Think it would be grossly unfair, and naive to rule out Reading at this stage. They have quite a few games in hand, and if they get mostly positive results will probably pip Swansea and maybe Blackpool.

Middlesbrough are on a decent run and are only four points off the top 6 as well.

Anyone EXCEPT Swansea. Having seen both games against them & seen the rub of the green that we've enjoyed in both games I do not want to meet them again. They, despite their current poor form, are my tip to go up. Needless to say I hope that I am talking absolute crap!!!

I am not so sure about Reading. Realistically they need to win all 5 of their games to be able to make it. However their next game (one of the ones in hand) is against Newcastle. Slip up there and Leicester only need a win to prevent them making it. A draw isn't really a good result for Reading if they want to make it. I think they are a little too far adrift to realistically make it.
Now watch them go and thrash Newcastle.
EDIT: Ah wait, didn't figure in the Swans. They could lose to Newcastle and make it, but I do still think they are a touch too far adrift.

I'll take any team we get.
They will only be as good as we let them.
