Now we have safely negotiated this league, we can sit back and relax without the agony of the play-offs.
So, who do we want to get promoted through the play-offs. For me, after gifting the Pox 6 points, which to be fair we haven't really missed, I think it would be hilarious if they missed out and personally I am backing Crewe to make the last play-off spot.
As for promotion, I think Torquay probably deserve it although I wouldn't be surprised if Crewe managed to do it, as they have good momentum. Would be nice for Billy Bodin as well I guess.

Paul Sturrock has a decent record, I wouldn't write them off.

I think the Gills have a decent chance to oust Cheltenham for the other spot as well I hope Crawley fuck up and Torquay take third spot Then I hope Gills v Crewe in the final, with Crewe narrowly shading it 5-0  |

I can see Oxford creeping back in to either 6th or 7th place - despite the fact that some of their fans are openly calling for the manager's head after 44 games; and just 2 points off the play off places. Heart-warming display of unity, that. Cheltenham are on a poor run and Crewe have a tough couple of games. On balance, I think Oxford will be there, probably with Crawley, Southend and Crewe. Play offs are all about momentum - as Oxford themselves showed in 2010 - so, of that lot, I would probably go for Crewe.
I grew up thinking of us as definitive play off masters but, lately, we haven't been as fortunate...so delighted we're not involved in the melee this time around.

Would like to see Crewe go up. Some excellent young talent, football played in the right way and an easy away trip for me

Oxford vs. Southend
Torquay vs. Crewe
Two potentially great games (given the scenario).
It's a relief that we do not have to deal with the Play-Offs this season.

I think Crawley will get the last auto spot unfortunately!
If thats the case then a Crewe v Torquay final would make for good viewing, think Oxford will sneak in ahead of Cheltenham but will implode in their first match. Dont want them going up.

The play-offs are ace when your not in them.
Reckon Crewe will win them this year, but would like to see Torquay win them should they not go up automatically.

I'd like to see Torquay beat Crawley to that third automatic spot and Crewe to win the play offs.
