Crewe beat Bradford with a 90+11 penalty winner. Realistically it's now between Northampton and Stockport for the final automatic place
Surely after last season Northampton will go up - pipped by Bristol Rovers who won 7-0 in their final match.
Northampton need to win to make certain.
They have a harder final game, away at Tranmere, whereas Stockport are home to relegated Hartlepool. Stockport's GD is much better, so if they win a draw won't be enough for Northampton...
The last game of the season will be interesting, as none of the playoff sides (other than perhaps Carlisle) can afford to relax too much, as both Salford and Bradford could be caught by Mansfield, while Stockport could get automatic
Around about now I contemplate any increase or decrease in distance Charlton will have to travel away next season. Like Reading (if it happens) being closer than Forest Green Rovers.
Looking at the form table for the last 12 games, you can see why Wednesday have missed automatic promotion, and they haven't even being playing especially good teams either.
Championship: Sunderland League One: Barnsley League Two: Bradford City
I really hope Sunderland do it. Whenever we have played them home or away and wembley their fans have always been great. They deserve their crack at the premiership
