The results of the poll were quite close but in the end, you fans of Rovers decided that the team you would most fear in the Play-Offs is Sheffield Wednesday. After just over two weeks of voting and 81 votes cast, Wednesday ended up 4% ahead of Brentford and Bristol City.

The Final Poll looked like this.......

Question of the Week

Question: Who would you most fear in the Play-Offs?

Sheff Weds 27% Hartlepool 7% Brentford 23% Bournemouth 9% Bristol City 23% Doncaster 10% Number of votes: 81

Sheffield Wednesday are not yet confirmed as play-off contenders and indeed it was their failure to win on Saturday that handed Tranmere a play-off place despite their own defeat at Swindon Town.  Wednesday seem a surprise winner of the poll for most feared team as Tranmere have already defeated them twice in the League this season; 4-2 at Prenton Park and 2-1 at Hillsborough.  On the other hand, that could prove to be an negative thing outcome for Rovers as far as the play-offs are concerned.

Bristol City and Brentford came equal second in the poll with 23% each.  Although at the time the poll was launched Bristol City looked unlikely to reach the play-offs, the situation has since changed and they look a danger if they were to sneak in because they are one of the only teams in form around the play-offs.  They have also done the double over Rovers this season 4-0 at Ashton Gate and 1-0 at Prenton Park.

Brentford might be a team that Tranmere would fancy playing despite recently losing there 1-0 in the League but from the poll it would seem that Hartlepool are the least feared team for Rovers fans.
