Expecting Kirk and Hallam to get massive games, possibly one of
them for the L1 final.
Would I be optimistic to suggest Bramall for a Second Leg in the
Championship? Possibly Barrott as well, but that one wouldn’t be
as optimistic. Gillett for the final would be my immediate
thinking. Pawson could be another one for a Second Leg with the
great season he seems to be having.
Carney, James, Nelson, Graham are all assistants I’d expect to
see in the first legs of the Championship. One of the Smiths for
the first legs, alongside either Hallam or Kirk (whichever they
don’t have lined up for a final, if any). Martin, Donohue,
Herczeg and Nield for 4O gigs possibly. I expect to see Kitchen
somewhere with the big boys despite the unfortunate fall from
grace after Hallam and Kirk came swooping in like hawks.
Reeves, Parsons, Speedie and Finnie I’d expect to see involved
somewhere. Finnie got the L2 final last year, so he will
probably hand the baton to one of the other 3 or another
high-flyer in the National List. Likewise, they could go for a
member of the Supplementary List for the L2 final, no idea where
they will fit in as this is the first time we have them for the
playoffs!
Lehane, Bartlett and Cresswell are assistants I’d expect to see
flying high in the playoffs as well.

Hallam or Kirk will get the league one final…

Just as a reminder Kitchen did League 1 final last year and
Finnie did League 2, so nothing seems to be guaranteed with a
final appointment.

Reeves for the L2 final for me.
I agree with the other two

With Hallam doing the FA Trophy final maybe Kirk more likely for
L1

Looking at the PL appointments for this weekend, for me the two
notable absentees from on field duties are Michael Oliver and
Sam Barrott so I do wonder if they are in line for the
Championship second legs.
Oliver at The Den and Barrott on the South Coast is my guess.
