Here we are 2 games away from the end of the regular EFL season and its amazing to see that 43% of its members still have something to play for
Championship
Burnley are the champions
Sheff Utd secured promotion this week.
Play Offs
Both Luton and Middlesbrough have secured a 2nd Leg home fixture in the play offs by finishing 3rd and 4th
Coventry, Sunderland, Millwall, Blackburn, WBA, Preston, Norwich and Swansea all still have a chance of making the play offs
Relegation
Nobody has gone yet
and you can realistically perm 3 from any of the following 6 to fill the dreaded relegation spots
QPR, Rotherham, Huddersfield ,Reading, Blackpool and Wigan
League 1
Nobody has secured promotion yet.
Plymouth and Ipswich are well and truly in the driving seat and should secure promotion this weekend
Sheff Wednesday still have an outside chance but it's looking like yet another play off game for the Massive
Barnsley have secured a home leg for the 2nd leg of the play offs and have an outside chance of finishing 3rd but very unlikely
The remaining play offs you can perm 2 from the following 3
Bolton and Derby are in pole position but the slightest slip from either of them could well see the Posh of Peterborough claim a play off spot
League 2
Congratulations to Leyton Orient, Champions with games to spare.
It's likely the Cobblers of Northampton will join them but it's not impossible that they might not
Waiting in the wings are Stevenage who are also very likely to win promotion but coming up on the rails are Stockport County and Carlisle Utd who have the slightest of chance's of gate-crashing the party. Having said that, they could also fail to make the play offs with a 3 point haul separating County in 4th to Mansfield Town in 8th with Carlisle, Salford and Bradford stuck between them
At the bottom Rochdale have gone
Hartlepool need a 6 point swing and 6 goal difference swing to survive the drop with only Crawley in any danger.
If you think that's all mad then spare a thought for the National League North
2 teams could still claim the 1 automatic promotion spot and 10 teams can still make the play offs whilst 5 teams could still fill the remaining 2 relegation spots so 17 of the 24 teams in the Division still have something to play for going into the last fixture of the season!
