Some very tense situations playing out today
As things stand (with about 20 minutes to go), Rotherham are out of the Championship relegation zone but if they concede away at Cardiff they'd finish bottom!
Derby rallied after the break but find themselves behind again...
Edit: and as i'd finished typing, Rotherham concede - and it was an earlier kick off
Further edit: and Derby equalize!!!

And Derby survive, by the absolute skin of their teeth
Next up... and of greater relevance to us, L2 | |

Derby co have stayed put without winning anything today as the proverbial yo-yo Rotherham didnt quite manage it. Wycombe give it a huge go in the final quarter of their season but left it far to late to survive.
The mighty Bolton on next and a chance to gauge were we need to be next season indeed. |  |

Does anyone know why Salford are being allowed to kick off an hour after everyone else? |  |

I suppose it was either try to play it today or postpone it. Either way, it doesn't really matter as they needed to win whenever it was played. The way results are going, though, even a win won't get them in the top seven. |  |

MJW looks a much better player in a side that looks to play forwards rather than keeping the ball at all costs. |  |

At the moment, it would, but a few twists and turns yet, no doubt
Edit: and two quick goals for Forest Green puts the kibosh on that!

Hilly will be nervous... if they concede at home to Colchester and Exeter score a winner against Barrow, the latter will displace them in the playoffs | |

Salford City will be on the lookout for a "hugely talented" manager. |  | | |

Any explanation as to why, when Henderson won a penalty it was taken by Boyd (whose shot was saved)?
I wonder if Hilly is content to have Tranmere in the last playoff place (and, thus, I think, be in line to meet, rather than Newport, Morecambe). I'm not sure which teams most Dale fans would prefer to meet in L2. |  | | |

I'd like to see Morecambe promoted
It'd be their first time in the third tier, a testament to proper management with limited resources and they probably deserve it after finishing five points clear of the other three playoff contenders | |

Salford City will be on the lookout for a "hugely talented" manager. |
And then another one in November when they aren't running away with the league.
They want to start looking for a hugely draining pitch! | |

Henderson missed his last penalty, so Bowyer has obviously told him he wasn't taking the next one.
Given that Tranmere fans thought they were unjustly relegated last season, you have to question why they were only the seventh best team in a division lower! [Post edited 8 May 2021 17:13]

No. He hasn’t done a good job. Third with the squad and budget he had is not a success. |  | | |

We never tried to get him. It was a rumour peddled by someone with an, err, agenda. [Post edited 8 May 2021 18:04]

Doubt it, since BBM and Tony Ellis took over straight away, results improved, we stayed up and then BBM was appointed permanently. | |

But with 5 more matches to play, is it?
It seems as though it will almost be time to start the 2021-2022 season before this season ends.
Could someone explain how the playoffs are to be organised? I'd like to see Halifax making L2, but what would they have to do? | | | |

Whoever wins the league goes up automatically,the playoffs consist of the following six clubs...
Automatic
........
Team A
Team B
..........
Team C
Team D
Team E
Team F
Team C plays Team F and Team D plays Team E,whoever wins those games then gets to play either Team A or Team B,whoever wins those two games gets a day out at Wembley (probably) | |
