The Championship weekend

29 April 2011 14:07
Ten games being played on Saturday with the battle for the play offs taking centre stage but the automatic promotion matches take place on Monday. Well QPR could confirm their 'promotion' with a point away at Watford on Saturday but the real drama will come on Monday evening when first Cardiff entertain Middlesbrough and then later in the evening Norwich are away at Portsmouth. The top 5 look like staying the top 5 with a real scrap for 6th place. Nottingham Forest have the advantage but five other clubs could still catch them for a place in the play offs. At the bottom it's only mathematics that is keeping Sheff Utd and Scunthorpe in with a hope of saving themselves. Both will very soon join Preston in getting relegated.
