Ep36: The Final Countdown! Who Will Hold Their Nerve.... And Who Will Crumble?

In this episode we look back at the past weeks results and discuss how that changes the landscape for the final run in at both the top and bottom of the EFL Championship table.

As ever...... things never go as expected so we got a few 'shock' results. Should we be surprised by ANY result in the EFL Championship anymore?

It's really coming together and we've still got a fierce three way fight for the Title and the Promotion places.

Four teams are fighting it out for the final two play off spots, with West Brom and Norwich in the drivers seat..... but a win for Hull or Coventry when they face off later tonight will but pressure on both sides to get the win that will almost certainly cement their play off spot.

At the bottom of the table a few teams did themselves a massive favour by getting an important win.... Mill wall being the most obvious. Neil Harris has done a great job in galvanising the Millwall squad and perhaps got them back to playing the style of football that suits the squad, and one that the fans identify with more strongly.

A look ahead shows how big an impact Hull City and Coventry could have at both ends of the table. First of all for themselves... winning their remaining fixtures could be enough to squeak into the playoffs, but could also ruin the promotion chances of Ipswich Town, and the relegation prospects of QPR, Plymouth and Blackburn. Certainly two teams worth keeping an eye on..... But so much will depend upon the result of their match on 24th April 2024 that will have been played before this episode is released.

I'm a very approachable obsessive learner who is always interested in the stories of others, and how that information and experience can be used to help others move the needle of their life in a positive direction.

As a result of the work I do adults and younger people understand the importance of being an active participant in their own health.
