Thread for the upcoming EFL and National League play-offs.

We kick off tonight with Jordan Cropper's Barnet hosting Erico Sousa's Boreham Wood in the first quarter final. Woking and Bromley play tomorrow.

I'm glad we're watching from a safe place this time after last year's excitement. I'd be watching through my fingers if I were a Notts County fan. They're surely favourites but I think Chesterfield have a good chance of sneaking through after finishing the season in reasonably good form.

To be honest, I'd be shitting it now if I was a Notts County fan. If they were to miss out now after the season they've just had it'd be a travesty.

I’m a little torn on who I want up through the play-offs. In terms of any promotion aspirations we might have next season it’s probably best Notts County somehow manage to bottle it. But then again, it’s a great potential away day.

And of course they must be the first team in history to finish on 107 points in a professional league in England and not win the title or promotion. They deserve to go up, don’t they? Then again, it would also be rather hilarious if they didn’t, wouldn’t it?

Then you’ve got Cropper at Barnet, whom we owe so much for his play-off exploits last year. And then Podge at Woking, who played such a huge part in getting us up the first time round. I even quite like Luke Garrard at Boreham Wood; I wouldn’t mind seeing him in the BP home dugout one day when Hurst eventually moves on.

It does get easier after that, though. Chesterfield are just a horrible club consistently doing horrible things. They can get fúcked. Likewise the morbidly obese Woodman at Bromley. They’re made for each other and I’m sure that matrimony will happen one day.

So in summary then, anyone but Chesterfield and Bromley will do for me.

Cropper starts for Barnet. No Sousa in the Boreham Wood squad. Presumably injured.

There's already:

Arsenal
Tottenham
Brentford
Fulham
Crystal Palace
Chelsea
West Ham
Millwall
Watford
QPR
Charlton
Leyton Orient
Sutton United
& Wimbledon
from within the M25 so I would prefer a team from elsewhere to be promoted so that's a no to:
Barnet
Boreham Wood
Bromley
& Woking (just 3 miles outside the M25)
from me.

Last season Liverpool got over 111 points for a 46 game season (pro rata).  They still did not finish as champions of course.

Wrexham got 98 points and still did not finish top.  They lost in the playoffs as well.

Personally I can't see past Notts County but would like to see Woking do well as they're a good club.

Hopefully it won't be Barnet, Chesterfield or Bromley

Quoted from BenBB
0-1 to Boreham Wood


Sounds like Barnet could do with that weapon!

To be fair, they’re all fairly doable by train and could all potentially be a decent away trip but Bromley & Borehamwood are definitely at the bottom of the list.
