Championship/EFL Play-Offs 2022

[saivet]

Didn't see a thread but the 2nd leg of the first Championship play-off is on tonight.

1-1 in the first leg between Luton Town and Huddersfield.

Will be a huge achievement for either team tonight, particularly for Luton if they can make the final given their recent history and their tiny budget

 

[CraftySoAndSo]

I think Huddersfield will get over the line tonight and Forest should get past Sheffield United at home, no idea who'd win the final though.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

After the shite United have brought me this season I've invested a fair bit of attention in Huddersfields session... The job Callberon has done is nothing short of incredible, made then into a good side and would be an some achievement if he got them up.

Bit worried for them tonight but think they hopefully should have enough to get through.

 

[saivet]

Luton been the better side so far, really should be a goal up. Hopefully it doesn't haunt them

 

[sirAlexsglasses]

Town don’t have anyone in the box or arriving late when the ball is about to come in, looked on the ropes for a spell there as well.

Huddersfield field 1 up

2-1 on agg

 

[avgp_1]

O'Brien looks a player. Remember Leeds were linked with him at the start of the season

 

[horsechoker]

Huddersfield win

I'm hoping Forest can win the whole thing

 

[duffer]

Didn't watch, was Colwill any good tonight?

 

[saivet]

Frustrating game for Luton. Should have got a goal or two in that first half. Well played Hudderfield though, they also should have had penalties in both legs.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Big Jordan Rhodes! Close tie but I think Huddersfield just edged it... Plus they should have had about 3 pens over both legs.

He's really good - easily a prem level player.

Had a very good season. I’d want us to pick him up if we somehow go up.

Johnson has put Forest ahead. 1-0 (3-1)

 

[Santos J]

Fecking get in. Great timing as well as United were on top.

Lovely ball in and yet again a great finish. His dad was chuffed. I want Forest back up.

 

[horsechoker]

what kind of team are Forest?
I'd like them to go up because they haven't been in the Premier League for a while and Nottingham is a substantial enough city to merit a Premier league team.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Very determined defensively, very fast on the break, put dangerous balls into box and in Johnson have a lethal finisher. Surridge is dangerous as well.

 

[Gordon S]

Wish Garner could get the ball more often, love to see him drive forward and look for decisive passes. But still doin well.

 

[Berbaclass]

What a bizarre thing to do by the Sheffield manager

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Forest fans really don't like Jack Robinson.

 

[Gordon S]

Samba is really good with his feet. So confident

 

[Giggs' right foot]

Refs can never ever make the argument, that players dive too much, when they literally ignore almost all offenses where the receiver keeps standing. How that was not a red card is baffling. He smashed the ball into his stomach. Had he gone down, it's a red all day.

Am I alone in thinking it's a red?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Morgan Gibbs-White pulls a goal back for Sheffield United.

 

[Santos J]

Switch on Forest ffs

 

[Champ]

Going to be a barnstormer of a second half.
Sheffield United giving everything now.

 

[Contano]

Shocking standard of football on display...as for Garner, he's doing a good McTomminay impression tonight.

 

[Santos J]

ffs

 

[DomesticTadpole]

ffs

Couldn't have put it better.

 

[MarylandMUFan]

Why are folks pulling for Forest?

 

[groovyalbert]

Oh great - Sheff Utd or Huddersfield in the Premier League

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Why are folks pulling for Forest?

They play good football, ones of our kids is on loan there. Would just be nice to see them back.

 

[DWelbz19]

Why are folks pulling for Forest?

Garner plays for them + historically a big club, I guess. We’ve had Sheffield United in the prem recently. Huddersfield too

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Oh great - Sheff Utd or Huddersfield in the Premier League

Either side will be guaranteed to go straight back down.

 

[groovyalbert]

Either side will be guaranteed to go straight back down.

And play shite football whilst they're at it

 

[DomesticTadpole]

And play shite football whilst they're at it

That's the thing. Forest would be more of a Brentford to me.

 

[Offside]

These play offs are mental. Can definitely see a penalty shootout.

 

[Solius]

I’m really not ready for the return of a Sheffield Utd side who seem to have the exact same players as before.

 

[Judas]

If Forest blow this I'll be furious. Sheffield Utd or Huddersfield would be so bloody boring.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Why are folks pulling for Forest?

Have more European Cups/CL's than most British teams and had one of the greatest manager's in the history of the game. There's history right there. Playing Forest always means something. Playing Sheffield United is just another game.

Thing is you would watch their games. You wouldn't go out of your way to watch Sheffield United or Huddersfield. It is like replacing Burnley with another Burnley.
