Well, based on that, congratulations to Swansea on their place in the play-off final as they've completely nullified Barnsley and they have that little bit of nous that Barnsley very clearly don't. Tenacity has gotten Barnsley far this season, but it looks like it won't be getting them any...

I'd say Ayew looked a touch offside there, but an excellent finish to give Swansea the lead. Barnsley looking tenacious, but need to buck up their ideas in the final third as the Swansea centre backs are having little trouble dealing with the aerial barrage.

And how did Mbeumo miss that absolute sitter? Far harder to miss that than just slot it into the bottom corner. Bournemouth have definitely had the better of this despite Brentford having a lot more possession in the second half: they look very composed at the back and are soaking up most of...

Still can't believe you paid us £1 million for Marley Watkins. Absolutely woeful Championship footballer.

I was wondering what was happening with that, as I remember it being mentioned absolutely ages ago and then seemingly being forgotten entirely. Even though it shouldn't be, my prediction is that they'll suspend any points deduction until next season, despite what was done to Wigan at the end of...

And that's game over for Rotherham, and they go down once again. I'm sure they'll be back again in twelve months to keep the cycle going. On the other hand, it looks like Derby will stay up which just makes for the most disappointing, boring and predictable outcome all around. Meanwhile, we...

Ugh, Derby have taken the lead now. Wednesday really need to get their finger out fast.

Barnsley are really giving us one hell of a game here, and if they can keep this up going into the play-offs they've got a good chance. Meanwhile, Wednesday got one just before half-time, so as it stands that's both them and Derby down. Just have to hope that Rotherham can hold out for the...

Barnsley's goal possibly a foul as Morris was very much pulling on Omobamidele's shirt to win that ball, but Omobamidele was definitely taking a touch too long on that ball to invite that pressure in the first place. A quick response at least, with Buendia scoring from a header somehow. Don't...

A few changes for us today, Giannoulis returning from suspension, Hugill subbing in for the injured Pukki and Tettey and Vrancic getting one final run-out in the yellow and green before their contracts expire. Nice to see Tettey given the captain's armband as well for his final appearance after...

I hope Derby go down to be honest with how severely mismanaged they are and how they've been exploiting loopholes in Financial Fair Play for years. At least one season in League 1 should give them a good chance to reassess their priorities and gain a bit more realism when they need to bounce...

On the flipside, we came 10th in that list despite having our worst-ever top flight season, so I'm really curious how they work this out.

Yeah, we wouldn't have been able to sign a lot of the players that have been key throughout Farke's managerial reign under the current work permit rules, including Pukki and Buendia among several others. It's a difficult situation to adapt to when we've done so well from recruiting hidden gems...

We've confirmed that Tettey and Vrancic won't be having their contracts renewed and will be released in the summer. While Tettey looks set to return home to Norway, I think a lot of teams in this league could do with someone like Vrancic. He's not the most mobile, but his ability to pick out...

Title secured with a big 4-1 win against Reading today, Dowell scoring two, Pukking getting one and Quintilla scoring his second in two games with a free kick from 25 yards. The most interesting developments coming at the bottom, though, with Derby falling to defeat and Wycombe winning to keep...

Don't really see how it's more even when there's four Sunderland players in here and four Norwich players in the Championship team. And with two players from Hull and three from Peterborough, this is a far less even spread in this team than the Championship team of the season. No shock that the...

Olise wins Young Player of the Season and Buendia wins Player of the Season, while the Team of the Season looks like this: I'm sure a lot of people will say it should be the Barnsley manager instead of Farke, but I think he deserves it this time after being passed up for Manager of the Month...

Toney, Pukki and Buendia the three nominees for Championship Player of the Season, while it's Aarons, Olise and Elliot competing for Young Player of the Season. Player of the Season should be Buendia without question, but I'm almost certain Toney will get it for his goals as it's the easy and...

Reading's defeat to Swansea means that the four teams competing in this season's play-offs are now confirmed: Barnsley, Bournemouth, Brentford and Swansea. Just a matter of who ends up playing who now, with just one point separating the sides. Very impressive by Barnsley in particular after...

We've come out with a one-off kit that we'll wear for our match against Reading next weekend. It's a limited run, £30 per shirt with £5 from each shirt sold apparently going towards improving the experience for fans at Carrow Road when we're allowed to return. A bit of a gimmick, really, but a...
