Rival Watch

[tidus_mi2]

Kyle Naughton gets a straight red so will miss the final game of the season against us.

[Stranded]

Huddersfield have WBA and Millwall to play. Ouch.

[Hound]

Huddersfield still in the mix certainly

[Mid Sussex Royal]

So are Charlton, an in form Wigan and Leeds to play

[Old Man Andrews]

Would love Huddersfield, Birmingham and Hull to go. Got a soft spot for Barnsley as for some reason they use the theme to the Hitman and Her as their players walkout music. Got to respect that.

Hull v Luton at the weekend - can see Luton escaping

[linkenholtroyal]

Why are Leeds "bricking it" when they are at home to Barnsley tomorrow and a win all but sees them promoted? Leeds are by far the best side in the Championship, they are up and will be Champions.

I know you've got a hard on for Leeds but I did say West Brom would be more concerned.

I said nothing that isn't factually accurate. You will respect Leeds.

No I won’t can’t make me.

[URZZZZ]

I hope Leeds get promoted, will be great not having them in this division, even if it’s only for one season.

Think Leeds would be OK next season if they inevitably get promoted this season. Would need a striker alongside Bamford and perhaps a couple of backups elsewhere but nothing too radical

Lesson for the promoted Champ teams this season is don’t overspend as it rarely works. Huddersfield, Fulham and Villa have all fallen victim to this, in reality, buying a load of random foreigners doesn’t help as firstly most have none/little experience of English football and additionally, can negatively affect team morale

If any of the current bottom 3 are going to get out of it, it is them. GD is not their friend though so definitely need Charlton and Huddersfield to lose this weekend.

[Royality creeps In]

For purely selfish reasons don't want Brum or Charlton to go, as they are great days out on the pop. {Here's hoping we can get back to games soon)

Well the EFL were hoping to do some trial runs on the final day but only for games that are dead rubbers. Unfortunately, they cancelled it as there doesn't appear there will be many if any.

Can't see away supporters being let in until there is a vaccine, government can't possibly consider allowing thousands of people to travel around the country every weekend potentially spreading infection. Easiest way to do things is to allow clubs to fill 25% of their stadium with home supporters each week and then steadily increase numbers based on infection rates in that particular region. Its going to be a slow process.

[Silver Fox]

They benefited hugely from the covid break as would have run out of steam as per usual if the season had played out in March

Yep, almost as much of an asterisk against a Leeds promotion as Wycombe's playoff win

That was the plan - 25% capacity - home fans only. Hence wanting to trial it at a game with nothing riding on it so as not to skew a game with relegation/promotion riding on it

[John Smith]

He has had a nightmare that keeper.

Bit late to the party but what an incredible result for Wycombe. I nearly wrote the word unbelievable but with Gareth Ainsworth, anything is believable/possible.

With regards to the Oxford United goalkeeper, if I was in charge of the club I would sack him for that shocking display: costing his side two goals, unable to keep his cool on the big stage and undoing a year's hard work in 90 mins of madness. He goes.

With 9000 season ticket holders at Reading - its going to be easy for them as a club to open up 1/3rd capacity.

We aren't going to have that many next season, reckon about a quarter of that based on financial impact to people and the worry of catching COVID.

if its the only way to watch The Royals - i believe high percentage will renewal with the remainder upto a capacity of about 10,000 offered on the royalty scheme reward points system, first come first served.

[From Despair To Where?]

Hull v Luton at the weekend - can see Luton escaping

If any of the current bottom 3 are going to get out of it, it is them. GD is not their friend though so definitely need Charlton and Huddersfield to lose this weekend.

Barnsley are fcuked with away trips to Leeds and Brentford still to play

The other 4 effectively in the bottom 5 play each other.

Winner of Charlton v Wigan stays up. Charlton need to win with a trip to Leeds on the the final day.

Both Luton and Hull really need at least 4 points. Loser on Saturday is down barring an unlikely chain of events.

Huddersfield realistically need a point or to do no worse than Charlton's on Saturday.

I reckon it will be Hull and Charlton joining Barnsley.

Thats an amazing run of fixtures and coincidences.

Based on the above...

you are correct - Barnsley, Hull and Charlton are goners.

However - if there are any freak results ie Barnsley getting a win or Charlton at Leeds then one of them will swap with Huddersfield. Fascinating.

Wigan have been nothing short of fantastic.
