  • Championship relegation issues going to final day

    Top two already promoted. Norwich and Watford.

    Norwich 5 points ahead of Watford with two to play. So need one more win for the title or Watford to drop points.

    3 - 6 already confirmed for the play offs

    3rd Brentford 81
    4th Bournemouth 77
    5th Swansea 77
    6th Barnsley 77

    All with two to play. They are looking to finsh highest to get a second leg at home

    Bottom 5

    Huddersfield 47
    Derby 43
    Rotherham 39 (with a game in hand)
    Sheff Weds 39
    Wycombe 37

    Could be all over tomorrow. Derby win and Rotherham lose and the bottom three are gone. But Derby have lost their last five in a row (and so have Rotherham).

    Huddersfield are not mathematically safe but they would need to lose their final two games, Derby win both of theirs and Rotherham win their last three in order for Huddersfield to go down.

    The value tomorrow is to see Derby fail to get more points than Sheff Weds. But Wednesday must get a result. If Wednesday lose they are down whatever happens. That could then set up a corker of a final day fixture between Derby and Sheff Weds at Pride Park. Depending on Rotherham's results that game could see one or other stay up or potentially both go down.

    Rotherham have been so unlucky this season and I don't believe deserve to go down

      Would enjoy seeing Derby go down, but I think they'll just about stay up. In terms of the playoffs, I'd like Brentford to do it, but it could be any of them realistically. I think Swansea are the weakest side there, but anything can happen really.

              Wednesday 0 - 0 Forest

              53 mins played

              Forest missed a penalty with last kick of the first half. Wednesday lose and they are down.

                FT: Wednesday 0 - 0 Forest

                Wednesday survive for now, they will go down today if Derby get a point at Swansea.

                  totally agree. Some bad decisions against them. I hope they stat up.

                    Crap game.

                    Expected a bit of guts from Wednesday

                    Never thought I’d say this but come on Swansea

                      Wednesday and Rotherham doing their best to take away any final day drama. Let's hope Swansea beat Derby to re-inject some excitement into the league.

                        Do you feel dirty hoping for a Jack win?

                          Derby went a goal up and that would have relegated Rotherham, Wycombe and Sheff Weds.

                          But Swansea have turned it around and scored two quick goals.

                          So as it stands Derby are not safe and the three clubs above would still have hope,

                            Swansea 2-1 up. Wycombe winning against Bournemouth and technically still in it, Rotherham need a goal against Blackburn otherwise they're down

                              Rotherham have an extra game to play
