    Rotherham really need to make use of their 3 games in hand. They’ve been losing to everyone around them recently.
    They were unlucky with the scheduling that the Thursday game was the 6 pointer against Coventry. It would have been much better for them to have had Brentford then, a game they could "throw"

    They still have winnable games, they finish against Blackburn, Luton and Cardiff, all midtable sides going nowhere

    Wednesday v derby last day of the season could be a wonderful watch.

    Rotherham  take the lead against Boro

    Then lose a man after 18 minutes. Now 2-1 down
  • Worst championship season of all time? Top 3 consists of relegated premier league teams from the previous season. Bournemouth look like they are going to walk the play offs.Play off runners up and one of the semi finalist from last season in the play offs this year. 

    Two recently promoted sides getting relegated alongside the team with the points decision being relegated. 

    Such a boring season for most exciting league in the world.

    Akinfenwa scores a winning stoppage time penalty for Wycombe

    It might be too late to save them, but a great moment for him, his first ever Championship goal

    Would that be the Bournemouth who've already lost to Brentford this season?

    It’s the Bournemouth who have 25 points from the last 10 games, scoring 26 times.

    And the Brentford who for the second season running have lost form at the key part of the season

    They should have lost on Tuesday, Fosu's equaliser was only due to a terrible fumble by the Cardiff keeper (not Dillon)

    Bournemouth attacking options consists of £60 million, plus former England international Jack Whilshere. 

    The problem is that the small premier league teams are spending bigger wages and transfer fees now and other clubs don’t have the resources to take all of their players. The best example is Sarr at Watford. £35million and playing in the championship.

    Gonna be a potential day for movement between the Leagues:

    Championship
    Watford will join Norwich in the Premier League if they beat Millwall
    Wycombe will be relegated if they lose to Cardiff and Derby get at least a draw against Birmingham

    League One
    Hull City will be promoted if they beat Lincoln today
    Peterborough will be promoted if they beat Charlton and Sunderland lose to Accrington
    Swindon will be relegated if they dont beat Milton Keynes, they'll be down regardless if Wigan beat Burton
    Bristol Rovers have been relegated this afternoon

    League Two
    Cambridge will be promoted if they beat Stevenage and Morecambe fail to win
    Southend United will be relegated if they lose against Leyton Orient and Barrow beat Tranmere

    Updated

    In addition Cheltenham are effectively in League One next season, like Peterborough only goal difference can stop them now

    If we dont go up it'll confuse the hell out of people when we tell them its Charlton v Cheltenham

    I see that I cursed Bournemouth and Coventry today by predicting that both would win today

    Quality player, i'd expect he'll stay with Watford next season now they've gone up but don't think he'll be there much longer than that before he gets a bigger move.

    Rotherham are having big decisions go against them in the last two weeks. Their main striker sent off last week and now a foul on their keeper not given and the goal stood; Fractured eye socket for the keeper.

    It didn't help they missed two sitters though against Barnsley.
  • Really interesting situation with the Championship play-offs

    Swansea, Brentford, Bournemouth and Barnsley are the confirmed teams...

    All three are separated by a single point with only Swansea on 78-pts

    Looking at Barnsley and Luton who came up with us, both looked dead and buried at the end of last season but stayed up. They've cracked on this season, Barnsley in the play offs and Luton safe in mid table, never in any relegation trouble or chance of the playoffs.

    If only we could have stayed up... you never know.

    That was a ridiculous decision, although on Quest last night Stephen Warnock seemed to think the challenge was ok.

    We'd have probably struggled in the first half of the season as Sandgaard took over too close to the first transfer deadline for us to have signed enough Championship quality players. He'd probably have thrown some money at it in January though

    The teams who go up from the Championship to the Premier the last few years have generally struggled, that seems to be happening from the 1st to the Championship now 
  • Grimsby been relegated back to the National League this evening

    Peterborough have been promoted back to the Championship with Sunderland losing.

    Cheltenham have been promoted to League One, first time at this level since 2009

    Ock... I jumped the gun... Peterborough arent promoted as Lincoln can still catch them!!

    Peterborough v Lincoln on Saturday

    a draw will see Peterborough promoted... a Lincoln win really would be something we dont want ahead of next Tuesday as they'll be coming the Valley knowing that two more wins (and one more Posh defeat) would give them second

    Barrow get a great win at Forest Green Vegans to ensure safety for another season in L2. Southend need to win both games to have a chance of survival

    Davison came on for the last 10 minutes incidentally, replacing Wagstaff

  • Cambridge will be promoted to League One tonight with a win at Harrogate although a draw might as well put them up with their superior Goal Difference compared to Morecambe and Tranmere.

    3-0 down after 20mins
    3-2 down after 28mins
