Turbo relegation with those point deductions but Wednesday have sadly been off the pace all season. League 1 will be an interesting time too.

EFL Championship playoffs are being expanded from four to six teams from next season onwards, meaning that third through eighth place are now in contention for the last promotion spot to the Premier League. The exact format of the playoffs will be confirmed later in the year but elimination fixtures are being added, with the winners of those games advancing to the semi-finals over two legs and the rest of the format staying as is.

I just re-watched (at a sensible time of the day) Middlesbrough's 4-0 victory at QPR...

I had watched it live but kept falling in and out of sleep but re-watching I think I've seen our best performance of what is turning out to be a very good season...

Phenomenal performance!!

well may the sunshine at Boro and impressed by Covs and Millwall !
I'd luv to see the Rams make the play offs after so many up and down horrendous seasons.
How the once mighty fall though - The Fox's eh.

Millwall just signed a 999 year lease on The Den.

You reckon we’ll all become immortal one day and see the end of the lease?

Coventry keeper charges out and wins ball well with hand. Striker jumps and is cleaned up. Ref gives a penalty. I just don't think that's a penalty. How's the anti VAR aspect now at the top of The Championship?

Rudoni quickly makes it 3:2 for Coventry. I look forward to seeing Rudoni and hopefully Hackney in the EPL as they've been developing for some years into good local midfielders

I wouldn't want to have to watch Millwall that long!

Northampton almost gone too.

Northampton almost gone too.

Northampton Town confirmed to be relegated to League Two if they draw or lose against Luton Town on the road tomorrow, or if AFC Wimbledon get at least a point at home against Stockport County after Leyton Orient's scoreless draw with Mansfield Town.

D-Day for the Cobblers.

Northampton Town relegated to League Two after losing 2-1 to Luton Town, becoming the second team after Rotherham United to suffer the drop from League One this season.
