No Norwich or any of the other Yo-Yo clubs as yet. Hoping West Brom don't sneak in as I'm rather looking forward to them going into a financial mess. Like to see Coventry go up. Unpopular opinion I know but also think it would be good for football if Luton win the ultimate prize and get in the big time with their hammer and nails stadium. | | | | |

Seems that way, the way they came back from the dead against Peterborough and then had decisions go their way today. | | | |

Jack Hunt, 32 Barry Bannan, 33 Lee Gregory, 34 I'm far from convinced SW will have the legs for a 46 game Championship. | |

The Play Off Thread on 22:10 - May 29 with 1491 views | Northernr | Be interesting to see how it goes but of the recently promoted cohort, Sunderland used the more lenient FFP situation to put together a young team capable of going into the Championship and performing again with few additions under the less favourable rules. Wigan put together a crusty old team that minced meat in League One but needed major surgery to get it up to Champ standards which they had neither the money nor FFP space to do. Sheff Wed, it looks like a convalescence home. The average age of their team this year is 28.5, it's by far the oldest in League One. I'd be astonished if their wage bill isn't the highest in the league by a distance. They've basically done what they always do: committed wages to people they've heard of to get them through the next six games. They'll now need to do major surgery on a team, while also massively over budget, in harsher FFP circumstances.

Yeah he was jumping into the challenge off the ground, so I can see why it was a red. | |

And yet I'm sure I heard in the post-match pundit chat on Sky either McAnuff or Morrison say that they will be challenging for promotion! Deluded. | |
