Is Leeds still in the mix? they would be my choice.

Nuno Espirito Santo should have won coach of the year.

DERBY advances to play Aston Villa

NES didn't win? Crazy how well he ran that club, some impressive wins and finishing 7th in their first year is incredible.

Leeds really dropped the ball. From league leaders to out. They just cannot get promotion. Hoping Aston Villa gets promoted would be good to see them back. Hopefully Leeds gets it next year.

as a Leeds fan for 50 years i was confident until that Easter game where they threw away a one goal lead, and lost to 10-man Wigan at home. Even when they were great in the 70s i got used to the almost permanent disappointment of underachievement so can handle this no problem.

Playoffs can be a cruel way to decide that third promotion spot as they clearly reward the teams finishing the season strong, often over those who have gained loads more points through the season. Maybe that bit of end-of-season momentum does really represent a better chance of staying in the EPL.

i think if Villa get promotion they have the best chance of survival of all three teams coming up (would have said West Brom but they were eliminated earlier in the week). Hope Villa win after losing the playoff final last year, but my son, born and living in the US, is a Chelsea fan and wants to see Frank manage in the EPL.

one of the things that can be a bit sad is seeing the journeymen celebrate promotion to the EPL and then a few days later be either released or transfer listed .....because they aren't considered good enough for the EPL. For many that will mean the challenge to get a contract in the league they were in, often a house move and family relocation. They would have been better off if the club was staying in the Championship despite a terrific effort

just found out the sore today. Man City 6:0 really?

Good story of Frank Lampard and John Terry in this game. and Lampard is already rumored to go to Chelsea.
