Queens Park Rangers striker Matt Smith reckons former club Fulham could be the dark horses in the Championship play-offs and is delighted to see them get a chance of returning to the Premier League.
The Cottagers were the most entertaining side in the Championship this season, according to statistics.
Smith, who was at Fulham not so long ago in his career, has paid tribute to his former team-mates and hopes to see them in the top flight of English football.
"I definitely do hope they go up, congratulations to them for getting into the play-offs," he told Get West London.
"They are the most entertaining team in the league by a long way, playing an extremely attractive brand of football.
"Fair play to them. I have a lot of close friends in that team and I'd love nothing more than to see them be a Premier League outfit again next season.
"I think on the basis of performance and talent, they certainly deserve to be there.
They are a force to be reckoned with, and certainly over two legs as well, they're a tough team to beat.
"And then the final is what it is. But they thoroughly deserve to be there and congratulations to everyone at the club. I am delighted and hope they do it."
