gbandit Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 It’s both hilarious and quite endearing to be honest. They come across so mild-mannered that I can’t hate on them too much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't planning on watching it, but wouldn't be best pleased if I was, the difference in coverage is astounding (assuming it's just the one commentator, no replay, one camera angle). I guess the match time was changed for a specific reason like a local event on Saturday or fixture scheduling, so it's more of a 'bonus', but while decent enough if it's your team playing and a chance to see them, it's pretty shocking if watching as a neutral. There's nothing live on their main channels either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Rotherham won 1-0 so that means they are safe. Huddersfield are at home to Sheff Utd on Thursday and if they get at least a point they are safe as well and Reading are down, but if they lost, then Reading vs Huddersfield is huge on the final day - Reading would have to win, but any win would see them safe. Results have been going wrong for Reading of late, and obviously not helped by their 6 points deduction either. At the other end, Boro are now guaranteed to finish exactly 4th, and Luton 3rd, which may affect how the latter approaches their match with Blackburn today at 5.30pm. It might play into Coventry's hands with Boro having nothing concrete to play for, although that said, Boro may want to set down a marker and go into the playoff in good form, especially with Coventry a potential play off opponent.

Paullow Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Reading haven't won since Feb and only taken 6 points from 12 games so they have not helped themselves, but every other result has pretty much gone wrong for them these past couple of weeks. QPR putting back to back wins together from out of nowhere, especially Burnley away, to secure their safety Rotherham losing to Cardiff one game ago to make the latter safe, but then beating a Boro side with little to play for to secure their survival today Cardiff winning that aforementioned Rotherham match the other day to secure their survival, and then subsequently losing to Huddersfield yesterday when they had very little to play for. They didn't help themselves by only drawing to Wigan on Saturday and would have had a fighting chance had they won, but they are now relying on another side (Sheff U) who have nothing to play for either to keep their season alive heading into the final day.

Dokko Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I see Boro have given up early. Probably best now they play at 70% and rotate their best out, which means Coventry have a free hit on the last day. Millwall vs Blackburn last day is tasty (if BB win today) and a draw could let the mackems slip into 6th on GD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean Blackburn would still have a very outside chance of getting the playoffs, but a win or draw vs Millwall on the final day would mean that Sunderland would finish above both, and in the POs, if they beat Preston. A Blackburn loss would mean their season was 99.99% over as they would have to beat Millwall at least 7-0, possibly more, and then hope that Sunderland and WBA both dropped points, so they might ease off, and a Blackburn win would mean two fully motivated sides, and a 2 out of 3 chance to get a result that would cost Sunderland, but also perhaps quite likely it ends in a draw, as you have it, which may play into Sunderland's hands, so probably hoping Luton win, but a draw would be by far the worst.

HaydnNUFC Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Blackburn have truly thrown a playoff place away. Winless in 7, 1 win in 9, and currently losing at home rn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Hopefully it stays like this and effectively rule Bburn out of the equation and make Millwall's job a bit easier. The results have defo gone for Sunderland in recent weeks, so expecting a 90+5 equaliser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) Hope Leicester do them tonight, think they'll win by a couple as well. Everton playing their last ever season at Goodison in the Championship against dregs like Reading, Sunderland, QPR will be a thing of beauty.

Wolfcastle Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Just now, Beth said: Draw best result for the mackems. Incredible run of other results going for them, even getting the draws when two of the others played. Finishing 6th, losing the play-offs and going up because Swindon got demoted for financial irregularities, relegated teams being cut from three to two 1990 levels of fortune. Saying that though they still got relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 So we want a Coventry and Millwall win on the final day Or a Sunderland draw/loss would just make it easier I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
