The penultimate weekend of the regular 2021/2022 season is upon us and still there are a lot of key issues to be decided.
Whilst the title looks to be Fulham’s for the taking, although I’m hoping the West London outfit do not clinch it against us on Monday, the four clubs seeking to participate in the play-offs is still the subject of much debate.
Last night, like many others I suspect, I raised a wry smile when Queens Park Rangers took the lead against Sheffield United. Sadly, that grin didn’t last long with the Yorkshire side, in the end, running out comfortable 3-1 winners.
That result leaves Sheffield United on the dame number of points as Luton and also with the same goal difference.
Today, several other clubs who could overhaul Luton, if we don’t get a point from our last two games, are in action, those clubs are highlighted in bold:
• Blackburn Rovers v Bournemouth
• Coventry City v Huddersfield
• Middlesbrough v Stoke City
• Millwall v Peterborough United
• Nottingham Forest v Swansea City
Sat in my armchair, ready to enjoy an afternoon of sport, I’m hoping that Bournemouth can beat Blackburn, thereby eliminating Blackburn from the play-off fight.
I’d also like Coventry to beat Huddersfield, thereby giving us some leeway and Stoke City to win at Middlesbrough, for the exact same reason.
Millwall, I fear, will be too strong for Peterborough United, with the Posh already relegated from the Championship and I fear Nottingham Forest will be too strong for Swansea, as Steve Cooper’s side close in on that second automatic promotion spot.
But how do you see today’s fixtures going?
