Fleetwood got smoked by Wycombe 4-1 and finished with 9 men.

Just watched the highlights. Woeful goalkeeping from Cairns...He saved a penalty but he had an opportunity on all 4 goals...the 4th he dropped ...the other three ...you would expect him to stop at least 2. Fleetwood will need some amazing things to happen to get back in the tie.

The keeping on that cross was horrific.

If Portsmouth can get through Oxford, I feel pretty good about the final. Fleetwood's a good side, so maybe Pompey caught a break here.

With Forest dropping points today it probably ends their realistic shot at automatic promotion, Fulham scored a 95th min winner to keep hopes alive while Brentford keep the pressure on the top 2 and have a far superior GD should it come to that

edit: Forest and Fulham play midweek, probably a must win for either side to keep auto promotion chances in reach

Definitely rooting for a draw in that Forest and Fulham match. Baggies play Hull tomorrow so that should be three points

That's insane if true. Either way, I hope someone steps in to save the club.

Pompey and Oxford in Extra Time, 2-2 on aggregate.

So stressed.

You hanging in there?

Sorry Gabe

 

[robertmac43]

Jeeze that is heart wrenching for Potsmouth...

 

[koyvoo]

Oxford goes through on penalties

 

[PanniniClaus]

Boy that was tight...Wycombe and Oxford as long as the self destruct button does not get pushed here.

It is weird to see Glenn Whelan still playing.

 

[GabeTravels]

Sorry Gabe

It's all good... Just stinks.

I swear to God Forest have lost a lead or lost a game in stoppage time no less than 4 times this year. If it weren't for last minute antics they'd be in a firm 3rd place and challenging West Brom for 2nd

 

[These Are The Days]

Took a look at Derby's remaining schedule and YIKES! They've got West Brom, Leeds, Cardiff AND Brentford. The top 3 teams, another fighting to get into the playoff and Birmingham for good measure. Absolutely brutal man...

*grabs popcorn to see if Leeds does the most Leeds thing ever and blows 1st place with a handful of games left*

Middlesbrough might've just saved their season with their win over Millwall today.

 

[Savant]

Rhian Brewster scoring for fun

 

[Tuggy]

West Brom on their way to another 3 points against Derby. Big win to keep Brentford and Fulham away.

Hopefully Leeds will drop points tomorrow.

People will learn the name Matheus Pereira. Hopefully they can keep him long term...

COYB!

 

[Evilo]

Hopefully Leeds will drop points tomorrow.

If you're a football fan, you can't wish that.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Brentford go to Derby this weekend but after that their fixtures are very manageable, but if they lose there then I think its over, West Brom don't have too difficult of a fixture list either with exception of away to Fulham

 

[robertmac43]

What teams do people want to go down from the Championship?

 

[gary69]

Brentford, Preston and Barnsley, but obviously only the last one could be relegated.

You've piqued my curiosity - why those three?
