Look at what we could have won
Thursday 8th May. ko 8pm
Bristol City v Sheff Utd
Friday 9th May. ko 8pm
Coventry v Sunderland
I'd say Coventry are the team on the up at the moment. Whoever wins them will be red hot favourites to come straight back down.
It could even become a thing that some promoted clubs actually use their new found riches to build for their first season back in the Championship, in the belief that their squad would be stronger, rather than attempt to go toe to toe immediately.Quote:

Penalty to Sheffield United and a red card.
1-0 and Don Goodman is talking crap.
Definitely a pelanty. Both arms around Moore’s shoulders, ‘bout time refs starting giving them for that.Quote:

The defender has two hands on Moore and pulls him back.
Goodman was talking about a trip first, it took a couple of replays for him to notice the holding.Quote:

He often does. Obvious sending off offence, but because he didn’t call it immediately, Goodman doubles down and tries to justify his initial mistake. You’d think an experienced pundit like him would realise how daft that makes him look.Quote:

Oh the wurzels are bottling it my heart bleeds
I believe we were one of those who did this. After our second promotion we didn’t seem to financially commit and just crossed our fingers.Quote:

Is it the 100th anniversary of Sheffield United’s last Wembley win? Obviously I know it’s 100 years since they beat us, but have they won there since?
NO! They've also failed in 10 play off attempts.
Well, at least the wurzels’ manager agrees with Don Goodman - it was a “huge error”!
Huge error🤣Quote:

It shows that it's within the ability of pretty much any half decent Championship side to make a genuine shot at the play offs. What a wasted 4 seasons..Quote:

Can’t we organise a load of buses to go up there?Quote:

Commentator was continually lauding them, until they suddenly went ultra quiet.Quote:

It’s been a while since I felt that way about a City striker.
Coventry aren’t out of it yet, but their efforts, along with the wurzels, who were second best before the red card, are only adding to the argument that it’s been a really weak Championship this season.
