Ep38: Play Off Semi Finals - Is Leeds United's Playing Style Perfect For Norwich?

Today we look back over yet another bonkers week of EFL Championship action. With so many teams still mathematically in with a chance of being relegated to League 1 it was expected that perhaps 2 or maybe 3 would get a win to save themselves.......

'Hold my Beer' said 5 of the bottom 6 teams.

At one point out of nowhere Blackburn were only one goal away from being in the drop zone themselves.... until Super Sammy Szmodics himself dragged Rovers to safety.

The promotion race was all but over, and the playoff places were set bar a miracle for Hull City.... and that didn't happen.

We preview the upcoming Play Off semi Final 1st Leg match ups. We take an in depth look at;

1) Current Form

2) Form v Top 6 Teams

3) Team Playing Styles

4) Manager Experience

5) Injury Status

6) January Signings Making an Impact

Hope you're ready for another weekend of predictably unpredictable EFL Championship action. The most surprising thing would be for everything to go the way of the favourites Leeds United FC and Southampton FC.

About your hosts

Thomas Butterfield

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.

The result of this is we at Elevate Health Chiropractic and Wellbeing are putting better educated individuals into the community who are making better health decisions for themselves and those they care for the most.
They move better, they eat better, they think better.

They Feel Better.

We are always looking to work with and help individuals and organisations who value their own health, that of their family, or their staff high enough to take that next step with Elevate Health, Chiropractic and Wellbeing.
