Championship Championship Relegation Battle

[Wandering Yellow]

Half time results firmly not going Birmingham's way.

 

[Northstandboy]

Millwall beat Leicester! Sheffield come back to draw v Norwich, looks set to be cracking run in.

They always seem to stay up, but it is looking perilous for Birmingham:

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Birmingham lose. It will surely go down to the wire.

Huddersfield-Birmingham on April 27th starting to look a little tasty.

Loser likely gets a trip to Stockport next year.......

 

[NottsYellow]

Birmingham have Coventry at home on Saturday. That will be tasty.
Serves them right for sacking Eustace back in Sept/Oct when they were on edge of play offs.

 

[Peterdev]

They sacked Rowett before and appointed a Chelsea player when they were flying. Ended up as lucky to stay up.
They never learn.
Reappoint Rooney when they go down would be great

The ex Chelsea player was Gianfranco Zola who had already failed elsewhere quite spectacularly by that point.

Cov will also have one eye on their Wembley visit the following week, which might be an unwelcome distraction for their playoff push??

 

[Peterdev]

So long as Coventry don’t try and poach Tyler

 

[Wandering Yellow]

If Wednesday beat stoke tomorrow stoke are well in the mix

 

[Foley]

What a win for Plymouth v Leicester.

 

[tonyw]

Huge, huge win for Plymouth today. They're not completely safe, but almost there now.

Leicester are so, so screwed if they don't get promoted this year. They'll have to sell three quarters of their squad to get under FFP restrictions for the Championship.

 

[Joey]

Blackburn could definitely get sucked into it. Since he's been there Eustace has managed 10 points from 12 games and has to play Leeds and Leicester away and Coventry at home as well as a 6 pointer against Wednesday.

Serial financial cheats Leicester might well be done either way......... get promoted and get an EPL points deduction, fail and and get one from the EFL and sell most of the squad.

Deeply upsetting....

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Birmingham have dropped into the bottom 3. Fair play to Sheffield Wednesday whose turn around has been amazing as they looked dead and buried!

Brum are fourth from bottom?

Brum are fourth from bottom?

My mistake, the last time I looked at the table was when Sheff Weds were still winning

Might as well get into the PL as a points deduction will only be a few points.

This thread should also focus on the goings on in League 2 as well, since they’ll make up League 1 for the 2024-25 season.

Stockport and Wrexham (joy) have been promoted. Mansfield only need one point and an avoidance of a colossal goal swing in their three remaining games to be promoted.

Playoffs are fascinating. MK Dons and Crewe will in in them but the remaining two places are anyone’s guess. Barrow are in sixth and have four games left to play but have lost three in a row. Doncaster have come from nowhere under McCann and have won eight in a row. It’s an almighty scramble where even a team as low as 13th in Bradford may well be thinking they have an outside chance of making them.
