MIDWEEK MATCH THREAD

Because there's more than just the Champions League on tonight.

Ten matches across the EFL this evening have all manner of permutations for the three divisions.

In the Championship, Fulham will go up as champions if they better Bournemouth's result at Swansea; the Cherries would be almost guaranteed promotion if they win in Wales and Nottingham Forest lose in West London. Already relegated Barnsley and midtable Blackpool complete the games in the second tier.

In League One, Wigan Athletic need just a point against under-achieving Portsmouth to go up, Rotherham United will all but guarantee promotion if they win at Sunderland and Fleetwood Town could relegate both Doncaster Rovers and AFC Wimbledon by defeating Sheffield Wednesday who need a win to go back into the play-off spots.

Finally, Forest Green Rovers will be all but confirmed as League Two champions if they beat play-off chasing Swindon Town, Exeter City will be promoted if they beat Barrow and both Mansfield Town and Sutton United can boost their top 7 hopes with wins against Stevenage and Crawley Town respectively.

All games kick-off at 7:45pm UK time. Coverage of Fulham v Nottingham Forest is on Sky Sports Football from 7:30pm with Barnsley v Blackpool on the Red Button. I don't know why the Swansea game isn't on the Red Button.

Forest are actually going up aren't they

Fuck me all of a sudden Forest could get autos

Forest's current PPG under Ugly Steve would equate to 98 points in a full 46 game season.

Only 4 teams in the Championship era have finished with a total higher than 98 points, and all won their respective seasons.

He might look like a paedophile but he is some manager.

>WENDIES

If forest don't get automatics they will bottle the play-offs. Too much pressure on the team at the min cuz fans are desperate for promotion

League One final round at the same time as their playoff final is a week earlier than the other two, imagine they'll be focusing on that?

My dad has been following Forest since the 70s. He deserves to see them in the Premier League again.

>Dover Athletic could earn their first point of the season this evening

>literally conceded just as user typed this

Swans could be promotion candidates next year if they play like this all season long. Took Russell Martin long enough to get them going.

>WIGGLE
OH NO NO NO

>mememouth v memeingham memest playoffkino confirmed if fulham don't score

The Asbaghi sacking was shocking but not completely unexpected. Which makes it worse, I guess.

Amazingly great owners by the way, don't think I can recall another set who managed to have two clubs relegated in two different countries in the same season. Beggars belief.

UHHHH ABWENDIES???

>All three championship games go to 90+7

imagine if bournemouth got a 4th

It's common these days.
I swear when I was a kid it was rare for there to be more than three added minutes.
Now that's basically the lower end.

Obbo's shit and MFA is fucking wank
Sorry about that mate, should have gone arra

What are the chances Forest actually get automatic promotion?

All depends on the big one next week IMO. If either Forest/Bournemouth fuck up at the weekend, that might decide it.

Pretty high. Don't bournememe still have to play them?

They play each other penultimate game. Without that i'd say it's still a stretch but that's virtually a play-off game for the final auto spot.

Agreed. Going to be a fucking mental game.
