Watford and Brentford with Boro via the playoffs
The problem Brentford will have is that theyâll probably need a new forward line. I canât see Benrahma or Ollie Watkins staying. They scored 42 goals between them in the league this season, plus numerous assists. Itâll be a massive task having to replace those numbers.

Just hope Norwich donât bounce back again straight away. Would take the likes of Reading, QPR, even Millwall over them 
Good to see Coventry City back in the Championship. First ever Arsenal game I watched was Cov v Arsenal at the old Highfield Road, ended up a draw I think but Bergkamp scored. I remember wondering why he seemed to get the ball so much despite being quite slow and bulky looking. Knew fuck all about football at that age, obviously.
Itâs been a difficult journey for them so really pleased actually. Have a few friends and family who are big Cov supporters and always have a soft spot for them.
Randomly met Dion Dublin at Wembley Boxpark on the weekend as well (assume he was there for FA Cup buildup), Cov City legend.

Again Coventry another tale of ineptitude by the EFL.
Not even playing games in their own city.
Reading last night Charlton leading an objection on Sheffield Wednesday being given a 12 point ban starting from next season. If it was imposed this season theyâd have gone down.
Wigan get the same points deduction but go. Honestly good as it is beneath the prem ,its being run by cowboys not doing the job.

Itâs a sensible idea but it has too be adhered in a professional manner. I sadly doubt the EFL will be able to implement it properly in its current capacity effectively.

Justice for Hertfordshire
Why are these points deductions applied this season and they are being applied next season for Sheffield Wednesday? If they applied the 12 point deduction this season, Charlton would stay in the championship. Know quite a few Charlton supporters pissed about this.

Sshhh @LukeTheGooner will hear you
Yeah, itâs all so complicated. You can apply it to Wigan too. Why was their points deduction immediate? They were not deserving of relegation at all.

I think the EFL actually want to kill some clubs off.

All the north west teams?
I listened to this podcast yesterday, and they said much the same thing. One dude who plays in the National League has been working for Tesco because he isnât getting paid at the moment. And he and others on the pod think a lot of non league teams and maybe League 1 and 2 teams too just wonât be able to function for much longer.
The non league clubs are community clubs. They rely on members of the community coming to watch them, but if theyâre not allowed to, then the clubs are operating at a loss and thatâs just not sustainable for very long for a lot of these teams

Great recommendation.
Just read about the commissions verdict on the EFL dealing with Sheffield Wednesday. What a complete shambles of an organisation.
Up there with the worst things the EFL have done tbh.

More double standards with the EFL clowns over Derby county and selling of pride park.
Go the extra mile this lot too undermine credibility of the second tier of English football. Think we can stop calling this League exciting now. Being played on different levels for different teams.
