With only 1 Premier 3 pm kick off game yesterday my attention was focused on the Championship where things are reaching a climax.
Wolves carried on doing what they have been doing all season - scoring goals while not conceding. With a couple to play they seal up the Championship on 98 points & a goal difference of + 46.
In the late game Cardiff eased past Forest to go back second by a point with a game still in hand over 3rd. placed Fulham.
Villa continue to win & are a further 3 points behind, but you have to feel that the second spot is going to Cardiff or Fulham.
Big gap of 10 points down to the other play off contenders with Boro in 5th. followed by Millwall in the current final spot. However Sheffield Wednesday in 11th. spot are only 3 points away from a spot themselves.
At the bottom Sunderland lost to Burton Albion (who were immediately above them) & so continue their demise down to League 1. Burton Albion gave themselves hope of avoiding that themselves with the win, but are still a couple of points from safety. Leeds (with nothing to play for) did near neighbours & 3rd. from bottom, Barnsley, no favours by beating them. In the area above the drop Bolton don't look like they can win much, but don't need to if those below can't. Birmingham City who were below Bolton ease their pressure with the win against Sheffield United.
The Iron did just enough against relegation worried Walsall & look like clinching the last play off spot.
Wigan clinch an automatic promotion spot after thumping Fleetwood. Blackburn look like being the other automatic movers as the are now 7 points above the Shrews with 3 to play.
Hell of a game at the University as Cheltenham became the first side to score of all the 3pm kick offs but still managed to lose a 7 goal thriller. Mo Eisa got anther couple to raise my concerns that it is doubtful if the youngster will kick off next season at Whaddon Road..
Big win for Rovers against the bottom side. Now almost a certainty that they will be playing League football again next season.
Another very good result by Vale away at a side with play off hopes. Their early form left them struggling at the wrong end of the table for most of the season but they have put some decent results together as the season is ending..
