Anyone saying Sunderland will be ok in L1 is a bit deluded at the state of the club I suspect.

This kinda almost reminds me of Coventry in a way, like just everything about the club just disappeared, and what was left of it was a shell. So bad was the sitatution that a relocated London Wasps (Union team) actually usurped Coventry out of their own stadium.

That, and also the fact that prior to last season, Coventry have never finished in the top 7 since 88-89 (and the top 6 since 69-70). This season... they could fail to make the play offs (7th) with just two games to go. Yes, ever since their relegation, they have never finished in a play-off position in any league.

They were in the top tier for yonks as well (a 30 year streak IIFC).

 

[jd2010]

Can someone post the remaining fixtures of the sides from about 2-9th?

Or have seen clubs recover from this sort of situation before.

Sunderland has a lot going for it, but has been underperforming on and off the pitch for a long time.

I think the takeover is needed, but for me the club has a lot of potential.

Third largest debt in the country, won't be sold until they go into administration.. Yeah that's not ending well.

It's a damning indictment on that squad that Adam Johnson has the most assists at Sunderland since 2015/16 yet has been in prison since March 2016.

Sunderland relegated and Fulham win again:

23 games unbeaten from Fulham is a remarkable achievement.

I hope they get the automatic promotion. My pessimistic view is i can just see them losing the playoff final. And blowing this golden opportunity.

Sunderland were already down. But now it's confirmed they'll come last.

As a Fulham fan I agree this is the most likely scenario aha!

Hoping Cardiff trip up!

Well important HT score at Burton. 2-0 pushing Bolton into the bottom 3 with Barnsley currently 1-0 up.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Cardiff win and back into 2nd: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/championship

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Boro confirm a play-off spot with a 2-0 win over Millwall which effectively knocks them out due to their GD compared to Derby. Preston with a 1-0 over the Blades keeps them alive, Brentford are out with a loss to Barnsley and Burton win their 3rd in a row to leapfrog Bolton.





Birmingham are back in contention and Reading are dragged right into it now. Both are playing the teams who are fighting for the second auto-promotion spot. Barnsley have a tough trip to Derby who themselves are looking for a play-off spot whereas Burton need to beat Preston who, themselves, are also fighting for a play-off spot. Another cracking set of fixtures next Sunday!

 

[SM]

Burton have been incredible. Should be a great final day and it's all on at 9pm.

 

[ioppolo]

The two teams fighting to avoid relegation playing the two teams fighting for a playoff spot. What an amazing coincidence!

Three, Burton Barnsley and Birmingham I think.

 

[ioppolo]

It'd be quite the day of results if Birmingham managed the get relegated from that position.

Just needs Barnsley and Burton to win?

 

[ioppolo]

Just needs Barnsley and Burton to win?

Considering what's at the stake and the respective positions, it'd be quite the upset

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

There's also Cardiff vs Reading, another match where it's a team fighting for the auto-playoff spot vs a team who aren't out of the woods yet. It's very unlikely Reading will go down but, given they were a penalty shoot-out from returning to the PL last year, it's been quite the downfall.

 

[jd2010]

Disappointing Brentford couldn't get through to the playoffs. Slow start cost them

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Let's go Sunderland! You can do it!

Also, damn it, Preston v Burton... of all the games to end the season on. I want Preston in the Play Offs (Over Derby) and I want Burton to survive.

My ideal three is Wolves-Fulham-Boro/Preston/Milwall (yeah, I went there, bring on the West Ham v Milwall bloodbath), so I guess it won't be a total loss.

 

[Established1870]

Jatz Fryer Tuck NUFC Tiger any idea on Eastleigh FC in the Conference? Their owner is leading up a consortium to buy us and if anyone knows about that level of English football then it would be one of you three.

(yeah, I went there, bring on the West Ham v Milwall bloodbath)

In the championship will suffice thanks.
