    I am voting for Middlesbrough, but purely because I am now retired, I like to spend three nights away, if I can stay somewhere good.
    If Middlesbrough, I would stay at Hartlepool. It's not as bad as it sounds, honestly.
    Second then would, I suppose, be Derby.
    I know lots of you will vote in order of teams that you prefer.
    Think marginally, mine would still be Middlesbrough, with probably Villa second.

    Best for us because they are the sh1test = Derby

    But I'd like Fulham to come up because of the Joka.

    Or for an easy to get to and more local, the choice would be Fulham of course, who I fully expect to win this poll.
    Especially as well considering Joka!!

    Got to be Fulham. Unfortunately I don’t think it will be them as their run was so good and having just missed out on automatic by a whisker they may will be least up for it.

    Villa for me. Bit of a family rivalry there so good to have the teams face one another again.

    From a purely footballing perspective though it surely has to be Derby.

    Yes, I think the disappointment may cause them to miss out. In which case anyone but Villa (the prem is a better place without Bruce in it).

    Yep, Villa is good.
    Can't beat a few pints of ESB, in the Old Joint Stock.

    Derby don't come up - we get Vydra back.
    Fulham don't come up - we get Slav back.
    Villa don't come up - we get Hogg back.

    Boro

    Should be able to change vote, especially after the 1st leg playoffs are complete.
    Too late for me to alter it.
    Mods could you possibly do that for me.
    Thanks.

    I wish we were in the playoffs.

    I'm a bit envious of those teams that are playing. The playoffs are exciting. Our exhibition match against Man U is not.

    I went for Derby, purely because i think they would be the weakest in terms of ability to survive next season in the Premier League. Middlesbrough just ahead of them because of Pulis ability to get clubs to dig in and grind out results. Derby is a good away day too. Happy if it is Fulham only for Jokanovic. Again its a good away fixture, but i dont care for Fulham particularly. Always liked Aston Villa so my preference is (in order) Derby - Aston Villa - Fulham - Middlesbrough

    As much as I would like Joka to do it again, from a selfish point of view I'd rather Derby do it as they are perceived to be the weakest of the 4.

    Don't want Derby to come up and Vydra to score 15 goals, that will hurt too much.

    Think the same as many others above, voted Derby as I think they will be the weakest.

    A bit of me wants Fulham, if Joka gets another one up he deserves a crack at the Prem and I still can't help thinking he was a bit hard done by with us.

    Really, really, really don't want Pulis back up there to bore, cheat and time waste his way to enough 0-0/1-0 results to keep them up, may be wrong but assuming they may be better of financially to strengthen having only been down a year? Enough to pay some ageing half decent players and promising youngsters that he will turn into clogging journeymen as usual.

    Nothing against Villa, guess they would have the most potential to be big and grow again so possibly a bigger threat.

    Fulham for Jokanovic and Sessegnon.

    He deserves the opportunity we failed to give him. Sessegnon is a huge talent that I'd hate to see thrown on the bonfire by a top 6 club.

    I think they'll bottle it though and I'm expecting Villa to win it.

    Voted Fulham for the away day, and a bit of family history round there.

    Villa for me - Im from Birmingham so I will on any midlands team to get promoted, as it means I can see the Watford more - although Derby isn't too far either, very much looking forward going to the see the horns at Wolverhampton next season.

    Don't think much of Foolham from what I've seen so far in this game, their midfielders seem to want an age on the ball, the lack of pressing in this game seems weird after being used to the prem.

    Would like Fulham to win it because I have a lot of time for Joka and he deserves a crack at the Prem. Second choice is Derby because I'd like to see Vydra settle the can he/can't he argument once and for all.

    At least one of them is guaranteed to make the final.

    Well Derby take a slender lead but feel Fulham can turn it around .

    Certainly had most of the 2nd half and chances .

    I guess the team that's most likely to struggle the most and will find it hardest to attract players to keep them up.

    Think Derby have the most championship looking squad so going with them.

    If I wasn't worried about finding 3 worse teams then probably Fulham for the local day out and because they appear to play good football.

    Think Fulham will overturn the defeat tonight

    I'd love Derby to do it because it would mean a game that's just about walkable for me. Plus, with Will Hughes we should be able to beat them despite the inevitable Vydra goal. However, I don't think a 1-0 going into the away game will be enough.

    Would be a choker for Joka if he got Fulham up and was then replaced.

    I voted Fulham but purely as they have overal deserved it for what Slav has achieved with them. Plus I really want to see the reaction he would get at the Vic.

    Please don’t be Boro, most boring footballing side alongside Stoke.

    I certainly don’t want it to be Boro. None the less it would be extremely ironic if Pullis managed to get them up with Stoke and WBA passing him on the way down.

    They didn't look very good yesterday.
    As toothless as under Karanka.
