A Barnsley win will keep them in the hunt for survival. And defeat for Forest would mean that both Cardiff and Swansea could make the play offs (but would need a 3 - 0 Swansea win on Wednesday and a 3 - 0 Forest defeat).
A draw sees Barnsley down and Forest confirmed in the play offs
20mins to go still 0-0. We could yet get 5th spot.
Barnsley should be winning this.
They are well on top.
The only thing Forest are leading with is fouls!
I agree. I think we are a better team than Forest.Originally Posted by jon1959
1-0 Barnsley
94th minute winner.
Barnsley still in with a chance. Have to beat Brentford away on Wednesday.
Forest not confirmed a play off place yet
Owing to 3rd place woes, I’d be least confident playing Fulham over 2 legs.
I tend to agree with you.
Are Hull relegated albeit subject to mathematical miracle?
Small chance the jacks could finish in the top 6 with us.
Depends on the points deduction for Wednesday and Wigan
Barnsley, Charlton and Hull all away to sides in the top six in their final matches, while Luton are home to Blackburn and Wigan face fourth placed Fulham at home.
Forest are at home to a Stoke side with nothing to play for, but they certainly didn't look like a team already on holiday when beating Brentford yesterday.
It is totally crazy that the EFL have still not made a decision about penalties (points deductions) for Wednesday and Derby - and almost as crazy that the 12 point deduction announced for Wigan has come at a time when any appeal cannot be resolved before the season ends.
The Wigan situation is not the fault of the EFL - but they are completely responsible for the other two. They have already dealt with Birmingham (including a successful EFL appeal that produced a guilty verdict - but no points deduction). They seem to be deliberately treading water with Wednesday and Derby.
If Wednesday get the 9 point deduction that most pundits were predicting a few weeks back they would be in the relegation zone!
They like to see how the games pan out so they can then relegate who they want
Oh please, no! I don't think my heart could survive a City vs Swansea game in the play-offs.
Well done Barnsley BTW. What a crazy division is the Championship eh?
It's an absolute disgrace in all honesty. This has been rumbling on for months.
It is, so unfair on all parties, all clubs should be going into Wednesday’s fixtures knowing exactly what they require. The EFL had the whole of lockdown to sort things out. Its going to be like the biggest VAR decision, the final whistles will go yet some clubs will still be sweating, bloody cruel, especially on the fans, players can move on, they can’t.
It wouldn't be in the semis. It would be the final....
How will the plod cope with all those fans heading to Wembley from S Wales... Oh, wait.
There would be some who would go anyway I bet, with some agro thrown in somewhere....
Perhaps we could have an outside bar somewhere where both sets of fans could mingle in a friendly manner.
We could buy each other cocktails whilst watching the game, then at the end, the losing fans could congratulate the victors, and form a guard of honour as they triumphantly vacate the boozer!!
If Wigan get 12 points deducted and lose their final game they are on 46,
If Luton & Barnsley lose their final games they are on 48 and 46 respectively. If hull beat us they are on 48. So would be tied for last playoff place and first safe place and it would be on goal difference.
Hull would need a three goal swing so would have to beat us by two if Luton only lose by one.
Barnsley could also draw and Hull could still make it IF Luton lose.
But the bigger IF is Wigan points deduction, Hull could beat us and the other results go their way but they would not know they are safe until the 12 points gets confirmed.
I think....
Hull do not need a goal swing with Luton. Hull already have a better GD than Luton. Hull -27, Luton are -29.
