Bunches it all up and I believe Sheffield Wednesday are currently the only team with the proverbial 'nothing' to play for, which in turn will help keep the competition on the level

Exciting couple of Championship weeks ahead! :thumbright:

not quite Sven.. i believe Wednesday are in front of the EFL for financial irregularities . Birmingham had a nine point deduction last season so a similar amount would put them in the soup...

Swanse lose tomorrow and its all ours really to lose.

We have the best run in and in reality any 2 wins from 3 should do it

Those results couldn't have fallen any kinder for us. Just need Leeds to do us a favour tomorrow and it is still in our hands.

What Derby, Preston, Blackburn, Nottingham Forest and other results mean for Cardiff City and Swansea City's play-off hopes

Here's the full state of play in the race for promotion after another dramatic day of action in the Championship

By Ian Mitchelmore


The Championship play-off race has taken yet another dramatic twist today.

Cardiff City's 2-0 loss to Fulham at Craven Cottage on Friday night opened the door for others to close in on a top-six spot.

Derby County blew the chance to move level on points with the Bluebirds as they were beaten 3-1 by Brentford at Pride Park in the early kick-off, with Said Benrahma scoring twice for Thomas Frank's side.

And there was plenty of drama in the 3pm matches too.

Joe Rothwell's second half strike saw Blackburn come from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with West Brom at Ewood Park. Filip Krovinovic put the Baggies ahead on 41 minutes.

Preston could only claim a point from their fixture against Nottingham Forest at Deepdale, with Jayden Stockley cancelling out Lewis Grabban's early penalty.

It meant Millwall were the big winners of the chasing pack as Ryan Leonard's early strike earned the Lions all three points against Hull City at the KCOM Stadium.

Elsewhere, Bristol City earned a comfortable 3-1 win against Neil Warnock's Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium to keep themselves in the mix.

Swansea City's destiny is now in their own hands, with Steve Cooper's men knowing that four wins from their final four games will guarantee them a play-off spot. Although that's far easier said than done.

The Swans host Leeds United at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Victory or even a draw with Marcelo Bielsa's side will lift them into the top six.

The games are coming thick and fast, the recovery times are not really long enough, it's coming down to the strength of the squads, I think seven more points and we would finish sixth?

To be fair all clubs are having the same amount of matches in such a short time and Neil Harris is lucky we have a such a big squad as he has amitted.
