I quite enjoy an antepost flutter on the playoff outrights. Normally I would go for 3 doubles and a treble for a bit of interest as the prices are usually quite good for a payout if you can get a couple right.. Although this year is a tad tricky

In the Championship I am not convinced of the price for Palace. Ok they have had a decent run under Warnock's helm and as a Blade maybe this is clouding my judgement, but I have a gut feeling they won't make it. Hull I think peaked around a month ago, and their recent collapse against 10 man Sheffield United appears to be a psychological scar.. The less said about Watford the better concerning form, but they did win promotion through the playoffs 2 seasons ago, so Adey Bootroyd knows what it takes.. Finally outsiders Bristol City. Theyve been there ro there abouts all season, and to be fair they are the best team I have seen out the playoff candidates this season. Form has dipped of late, but heck I reckon it will be a shock final between Watford and Bristol City with the 4/1 outsiders Bristol City heading for the Premier League..!

Leeds are ridiculously short in League 1. I think Doncaster can shake off the scars of missing out in the last match and winning in the Final..

It looks like a complete lottery in League 2, and if I was forced to choose I would go for Rochdale - a team I have backed a couple of times this season...No great reasoning though..
