Evans' absence had huge ramifications on Saturday, since Sheffield United lost 1-0 at MK Should Never Have Been Allowed to Exist. United's lead over Wednesday is now one point with two games remaining. Meanwhile, thumbs down to Notts County for clownishly being thrashed at home by Bury to allow (hawk, spit) the Hertfordshire swine into a playoff spot.
It's Boro v Cardiff for the final Championship playoff spot and Portsmouth went down this weekend. As too did Coventry, so often the top flight's Houdini club in the eighties and nineties. The Sky Blues' owners failed to file their most recent accounts on time, the implication being that they wanted to wait and see whether the club stayed in the Championship before they made any financial commitments to City's future.
Swindon clinched promotion from League Two and Crewe hold the final playoff spot. Meanwhile, there's a sharp contrast between the fortunes of Fleetwood and Macc. The former join the Football League next season, but the latter are 92nd of 92. Hereford gained a point on Barnet but remain second from bottom.
If West Ham do not win at Leicester tonight, Southampton return to the Premier League. More importantly, Sam Allardyce looks a bit more stupid.
