League 1 promotion race

by rhroyal » 01 May 2010 17:20

Got an interesting final weekend.

Leeds vs Bristol Rovers (H): - Win and they're up
- Draw and they must hope that Millwall and Swindon draw.
- Lose and it's the play-offs.

Millwall vs Swindon: - The winner will go up if Leeds fail to win.
- If Leeds lose by 2 or more goals, a draw will move Millwall above them, potentially into 2nd.

Charlton vs Oldham (A): - They must win and hope for Leeds to lose and Millwall and Swindon to draw.

I'd say that a draw between Millwall and Swindon is not unlikely. Charlton have a tiny chance and all they can do is win and hope. Stranger things have happened, such as West Brom surviving on the final day in 04/05.

However it must be said that Leeds are massive favourites with their final fixture. However their post Man Utd form means that I wouldn't put it past them to screw it up.

Being a student in Leeds myself, I want to see them do it and Sheff Wed send Palace down tomorrow so that I can make plenty of away games next season.

I should add that Huddersfield still have a chance if they give a 5 goal thrashing to Exeter away. It would require a Leeds defeat, a draw in Millwall v Swindon and Charlton would have to fail to win.

That would most likely mean that Exeter would go down :( :( :(

I'm not sure who i'd rather see in the auto place TBH. Leeds don't seem to want it but could stumble over the finishing line.

No one's paid much attention to Huddersfield, but they're coming into the playoffs hottest.

Elsewhere in League 1, Exeter are out of the relegation places on GD only.
