If we win at Preston 1-0 and Coventry lose 1-0 at the Boro we will finish above Coventry because of goals for but what Boro team will be playing them, then we need Millwall to draw with Blackburn, funny how Watford were up for but we wern't, sad
Its interesting that if Coventry had scored a third today it would mean we’d have to have an extra goal swing on final day. As it stands if Coventry lose to Boro and we beat Preston, we are guaranteed to finish above Coventry (unless they score 8 goals more than us whilst losing). If they’d won 3-0 today, one of the results would have needed to be by 2 goals for us to go above them
Next week will be a great day for Sunderland ... ... we've taken it to the last day despite blow after blow. Massive support and a great end to the season, whatever happens.
I've just seen a few of their goals from yesterday and they were special. They're the best recruiters in the country and with De Zerbi at the helm, they're ruthless too. Not really surprising that this Faraoli is on the short list of a lot of clubs across Europe if he's seen as a disciple of De Zerbi. The recruitment is definitely something to emulate. MacAllister, Mitoma, Caicedo, Enciso and Ferguson all picked up from unfashionable leagues. Lamptey, Gilmour and Colwill picked up from top academies where they hadn't broken through into the first team. Players that they developed themselves that they picked up young - Sanchez, Dunk, March and then a bit of experience sprinkled in too in Welbeck, Gross and Veltman. They have a superb blend.
Some quality players in there. And they lost Trossard to Arsenal. Good luck to them, I hope they get into Europe and have a blast. Very easy on the eye
Huddersfield has game in hand, against sheff utd. Would they rather not have it? A heavy loss and their goal difference will be worse than Readings. Last game, a defeat and a Reading win could then see them relegated. I think.
